Cycode is an Israeli cyber-security company that sells software to protect companies' source code, development pipelines and software supply chains. It was founded in 2019 by Lior Levy, a former solutions architect at Symantec, and Ronen Slavin.[1] Slavin, its chief technology officer, has been described as a "former Unit 8200 officer of the Israel Defense Forces" (Unit 8200).[2]
History
Ctech reported that Cycode began selling in 2020 and that its customers included Grubhub, Databricks, Copart and Rapyd. It raised a seed round led by YL Ventures, a $20 million Series A in May 2021 and a $56 million Series B in November 2021 led by Insight Partners, bringing its total funding to $81 million. It then had about 50 employees in Tel Aviv and the United States.[1] The company announced the Series B from San Francisco.[3]
According to Unite.AI, the idea for Cycode came from repeated cases of source code being stolen or leaked, which Slavin had seen after "years in cybersecurity and the offensive security space".[2]
Founders and military service
