I’m excited to announce Arcjet has raised $3.6m seed funding to build the future of developer security, led by Zane Lackey at Andreessen Horowitz! Also participating in the round are Seedcamp and a roster of great angels.
Although deploying code has become simpler, production security remains too difficult. #DevSecOps has failed. Developers need a set of tools that solve real problems in the way they’re used to - with code.
Whether you’re getting spam or fraudulent signups, have unwanted AI bots scraping your content, or need to distinguish API traffic between anonymous free users and paying customers, Arcjet helps developers tackle security challenges directly in code.
For the last few years I’ve been playing with devtools all day every day for the Console newsletter, writing about all the amazing innovations developers have been enjoying.
Security tooling has been lagging behind, forcing developers to put up with legacy systems detached from their normal workflow and with a sub-par developer experience. I’m excited to be working on changing that!
