  • Prime Security assists firms in addressing risks early and meeting rising regulatory needs because of additional legislation and frameworks that are pushing a change towards “secure by design” concepts.

Israel-based security startup Prime Security launched with USD six million funding. The company aims to pace up R and D along with the expansion of its sales and engineering teams across New York and Tel Aviv offices.

Originally established as Primesec Inc. in 2023, Prime Security provides businesses with the means to apply security throughout the design stage, so guaranteeing early risk identification and compliance oversight. By proactively identifying vulnerabilities, the company’s artificial intelligence-powered platform provides a scalable means for security teams to work more productively with engineering.

The necessity for security to be integrated at all phases of product development, notably at the design stage, is addressed by the company’s security guidelines for the design stage of the software development lifecycle. Prime Security assists firms in addressing risks early and meeting rising regulatory needs because of additional legislation and frameworks that are pushing a change toward “secure by design” concepts.

Early in the design process, the platform may be used to contextualize and identify security issues by integrating with Jira and Confluence, among other applications. By automating security assessments, the company’s AI-powered risk engine enables businesses to realize benefits right away from implementation, and as more tools are incorporated, the process gets better over time.

Critical design-stage risks like inappropriate access controls, unprotected data, and flaws in authorization logic are addressed by the platform. Additionally, it points up infractions like unfettered network access and inadequate security measures and offers precise instructions for fixing them.

In the end, Prime assists teams in being proactive in mitigating risks and guaranteeing adherence to audit and regulatory standards by emphasizing design-stage security.

Co-founder and Chief Executive Michael Nov said, “Our customers, from midmarket to enterprise, recognize the need for a new design-stage security approach that reduces product cyber risk and accelerates business. Security teams can now gain early and full visibility into development risks, scaling assessments tenfold without adding staff while maintaining compliance.”
