It introduced technology that protects the cloud native infrastructure throughout the DevOps lifecycle, and reconciles risk posture drift between infrastructure defined through code and infrastructure running in the cloud.

In contrast, there are disparate tools that can be embedded earlier in the DevOps lifecycle but they only protect parts of the cloud native stack and solve point problems such as infrastructure as code scanning and vulnerability management.

Talha Tariq, an advisor to Accurics who currently holds the position of chief security officer at HashiCorp, a leader in multi-cloud infrastructure automation software whose open source tools are downloaded tens of millions of times a year and are broadly adopted by the Global 2000 said: "While infrastructure as code enables agility and reliability, it also provides an opportunity to embed security earlier in the DevOps lifecycle. Accurics reduces the attack surface by detecting risks in code before infrastructure is provisioned and flags changes to production that may introduce security posture drift."

"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 Accurics Co-founder & CTO, Piyush Sharrma.

Heim continued: "Accurics comes to market with a sophisticated and distinctive approach that protects cloud infrastructure throughout the DevOps lifecycle. This boosts compliance, governance and security across the full cloud native stack in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. We believe the company has a great future, and we're excited to offer our support and guidance."
