DevOps company GitLab on Thursday announced the acquisition of software security testing firms Peach Tech and Fuzzit in an effort to expand its DevSecOps offering.
Seattle-based Peach Tech has developed two major products: Peach Fuzzer, which helps developers find vulnerabilities in their code, and Peach API Security, which provides automated security testing for web APIs.
"Fully integrating Fuzzit will make GitLab the first security solution that provides continuous coverage-guided fuzz testing natively within the CI/CD pipeline," said Yevgeny Pats, Fuzzit founder and CEO. "Fuzzit's support for multiple coverage-guided fuzzers combined with its crash analysis and correlation technology will add an important capability to the DevSecOps for GitLab users."
"Providing GitLab users with the best security testing tools is key to GitLab's DevSecOps core mission," said Michael Eddington, founder and CEO of Peach Tech.
"The integration of Peach Tech's technologies expands GitLab's shift security left capabilities making the future of security and DevSecOps a reality today for all GitLab users."
