Depthfirst
Securing the world's software by building AI-native security solutions that understand code, business logic, and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities before they are threatened by AI-empowered bad actors
Founding Story
The founders have spent their careers building and securing large-scale software systems across startups, hyperscalers, and leading research labs. They founded depthfirst in response to a rapidly changing threat landscape where software is developed faster than traditional security tools can keep up and where attackers are increasingly using AI to find and exploit weaknesses. Their shared experience with how vulnerabilities emerge and spread shaped their clear mission to secure the world's most important software.
