Jyoti Bansal's third startup goes after code security – TechCrunch

Jyoti Bansal founded AppDynamics, a company that Cisco bought in 2017 for $3.7 billion. He might have been content to rest on that big win, but instead he went on to launch Harness and a venture capital arm, Unusual Ventures. Today, he announced his newest company called Traceable, which attacks security at the code level. Bansal says that security has traditionally looked at protecting the network and hardware, but today the attack surface is more at the software level, and that's why he decided to start another company. "The software is becoming the primary attack vector for a lot of things. If you look at most of the sophisticated data breaches […], they are happening in the code, not in the network or the infrastructure anymore," he explained.
