DevSecOps company Spectral on Wednesday emerged from stealth mode with $6.2 million in seed funding from Israeli venture capital firms Amiti and MizMaa.
Spectral is based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and it was founded in mid-2020 by Dotan Nahum, who will serve as the company’s CEO, Lior Reuven, Uri Shamay and Idan Didi.
Spectral says it has developed a solution that is designed to help organizations quickly and easily find potentially costly security-related issues such as unintentional exposure of internal API keys and passwords in code, configurations and other developer assets, without disrupting workflows.
The solution uses a set of detectors that is continuously expanded, being able to scan any programming language. Customers can also build their own detectors using a purpose-built query language named SPEQL.
