Tim and Mike spent years directing engineering teams at one of America’s biggest banks. Parth did the same in government agencies. Always under pressure to build software pipelines. Move faster. Then get security approvals.
Their teams desperately wanted to build securely and deploy on time. They had Sonatype, JFrog, BlackDuck and every tool under the sun. But despite their best efforts, they couldn’t sift through the noise to get the security transparency they needed in their workflow.
So they
decided to build it themselves.
Now they’re bringing AI code reviews and deep dependency management directly into developer workflows with Kusari Inspector.
And for security teams, get full visibility and context of all your software with Kusari Platform.
Find and fix vulnerabilities early. Ship secure code fast. Prove you're in control.
We get open source security because we’re there—
in the heart of building for open source and guiding
its future. We are actively involved in establishing open source standards and policies to make it better and
more secure.
Because we help shape the standards that secure open source, you can trust our solutions are built on the same principles we champion across the community.
