Bringing Security Into the Modern SDLC

AI agents are changing how software is designed and built. Development teams are rapidly increasing the velocity of delivery with less resources. Security needs to keep pace, not just by reviewing what gets built, but by bringing security into the process earlier as software takes shape. Security teams need to analyze more designs, identify threats earlier, and give developers actionable guidance before vulnerabilities make it into production.

We started Seezo in 2023 because we spent over a decade doing this work manually and knew it could be better. We’re backed by Accel and a group of investors and operators who share our belief that world-class AppSec shouldn’t require an army of consultants. It should be built into how software gets made.

Seezo brings security into the modern development lifecycle across three key areas:

Design

Security Design Reviews that identify risks and generate actionable requirements before code is written.

Threat Modeling

Attacker-focused analysis of architectures, threats, and attack paths and mitigations to address them.

Secure by Design Development

Bring security guidance directly into AI coding agents and validate them during implementation through Seezo AI Plugin.

Every analysis is explainable and grounded in your organization’s context and security standards. From design and architecture documents to Jira, Slack, and coding agents, Seezo brings security into the workflows where software is actually being built.
