Cloud security company Accurics on Tuesday emerged from stealth mode with $5 million in funding and a free tool that allows organizations to quickly assess their risk posture.
"Our goal in developing the Accurics platform was to protect the full cloud native stack throughout the DevOps lifecycle, from the moment it's defined in code and throughout the lifecycle of infrastructure being employed in production," said Piyush Sharrma, co-founder and CTO of Accurics, who previously served as head of engineering at Symantec.
Accurics told SecurityWeek that the commercial version of its product is priced at $2,000 per month for up to 100 resources running in the cloud.
The free tool released by the company - a SaaS offering that is easy to deploy and use - can be used to analyze code for compliance issues and security risks.
Accurics says its platform is currently being used by 10 organizations, including global enterprises and digital companies.
