Our take
Operant AI is a young company focused on making cloud applications more secure. It offers a platform that protects applications while they're running, instead of just checking for security issues before deployment. This means it can defend against attacks in real-time.
This solution is particularly useful for businesses using modern cloud-native technologies like containers, APIs and microservices. Operant AI can be integrated throughout the development process, making it easier for companies to protect their apps without changing how they build them.
Since launching in 2020, Operant has gained attention for its innovative approach to cloud security. With substantial funding secured, the company plans to grow its team and expand its products, positioning it to become a key player in the fast-growing market for cloud application security.
