Accurics provides a platform that is designed to protect cloud-native infrastructure throughout the DevOps lifecycle, and enabling what it describes as “self-healing” infrastructure. The product analyzes vulnerability feeds, IAM privileges and other data to help organizations detect and fix exposure paths.

Organizations can also use the Accurics platform to detect and address violations of various standards, regulations and best practices, including SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, GDPR and AWS best practices.

The company has also announced integrations with HashiCorp, GitHub, and CircleCI.

“We envision a world where organizations can innovate with confidence—and our mission is to fill the gap between benefit and threat by enabling cyber resilience as organizations embrace cloud native infrastructure,” said Accurics Co-founder & CEO Sachin Aggarwal. “We’re gratified by the level of support from investors and customers, and we pledge to continue developing solutions that meet this critical need.”
