Archipelo comes out of stealth with $12M funding to secure human and AI-driven code

When it comes to AI software, you can build something clever, but that’s not always the same as building something that is secure. With so much software now getting written by AI, having a window into its security can be a challenge. That’s the premise of Archipelo, a San Francisco-based cybersecurity startup that is today emerging from stealth with $12 million in funding. Archipelo’s pitch is that it has a platform for so-called ‘Developer Security Posture Management’ (DevSPM). “We discovered that there is no developer security posture tool, and that’s what we built,” said Matthew Wise, CEO and co-founder of Archipelo, over a call. “What we found is that every enterprise has this problem. You can have a Fortune 500 bank that understands the productivity gains when developers use AI for coding, and they also understand the risks. But they don’t have a solution that enables them to observe and monitor all instances of AI coding usage [to identify that risk].” Human error is estimated ... Read full article.
