PRESS RELEASE: Kodem Security Announces Groundbreaking Advancements & Strategic Expansion of Leadership Team
Application Security Company Unveils Runtime-Powered Application Security Testing and New AI Capabilities
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kodem Security, a runtime-powered application security company, established by the masterminds behind Pegasus, the world's most sophisticated spyware, is making waves with a series of strategic announcements that underscore its expertise and innovation in cybersecurity.
Kodem Introduces Runtime-Powered Application Security Testing and new AI capabilities
Kodem Security today unveiled its latest innovation, a runtime-powered static application security testing (SAST) solution, extending Kodem's platform, which offers software supply chain security (SCA) and Container Security. These new capabilities give product and application security teams the power to automatically triage vulnerabilities that matter, constantly monitor the entire application stack (from code to container to infrastructure), and simplify the fix for developers and site reliability engineers, all in one platform.
Kodem powers these capabilities by combining generative AI with their deep understanding of "application reality" from the runtime to assist with triage, enrich findings and empower developers to remediate.
"SAST has not innovated in 20 years. We channeled our understanding of the application stack beyond source code into creating a combined SCA, SAST, IaC and Container Security solution that stands unrivaled in its accuracy, performance, and ability to drive results," said Aviv Mussinger, CEO of Kodem Security.
This next-generation technology is poised to redefine application security standards, offering unmatched precision and speed in detecting vulnerabilities.
Nir Rothenberg, Rapyd's CISO, lauded Kodem Security's innovative strides, especially emphasizing the transformative impact of its runtime-powered SAST. "Kodem harnesses its unparalleled runtime expertise to release one of the strongest runtime SAST offerings in the market. Finally, we can get real results, with virtually no false positives," Rothenberg remarked.
Strategic Expansion of Leadership Team: A New Era of GTM Strategy
In a significant bolstering of its leadership ranks, Kodem Security welcomes Dennis Vasavis as the new Head of Sales and Mahesh Babu as the Head of Marketing. Their appointments are pivotal to Kodem's strategy to navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
"The expertise and visionary outlook that Dennis and Mahesh bring to our team are crucial as we embark on this new chapter of growth and innovation," Mussinger elaborated.

The npm ecosystem is in the middle of a major supply-chain compromise. The maintainer known as Qix is currently targeted in a phishing campaign that allows attackers to bypass two-factor authentication and take over their npm account. This is happening right now, and malicious versions of widely used libraries are being published and distributed.
Security Issues in popular AI Runtimes - Node.js, Deno, and Bun
Node.js, Deno, and Bun are the primary runtimes for executing JavaScript and TypeScript in modern applications. They form the backbone of AI backends, serverless deployments, and orchestration layers. Each runtime introduces distinct application security issues. For product security teams, understanding these runtime weaknesses is essential because attacks often bypass framework-level defenses and exploit the runtime directly.
