Seattle-area startup StepSecurity has raised $3 million in a seed round led by Runtime Ventures.
Founded by former Microsoft engineers Ashish Kurmi and Varun Sharma, StepSecurity focuses on helping developers secure their projects, with a specific focus on CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery) processes.
The startup targets developers using GitHub Actions and plans to expand its support to other similar tools like GitLab CI, Harness, and Azure DevOps.
StepSecurity has paying customers in industries such as crypto, healthcare, and cybersecurity, and aims to address the lack of security in CI/CD pipelines following high-profile security breaches.
