Our Story

When the SolarWinds and Codecov breaches unfolded, we were driving CI/CD security initiatives at our previous employers. The glaring lack of security in CI/CD pipelines that these incidents highlighted compelled us to start StepSecurity. We looked around, spoke with peers, and realized there was no solution to prevent such CI/CD attacks.

So, a couple of years back, we started building our product in the open and offered it for free to help secure CI/CD pipelines for open-source developers. Little did we know that it would be the beginning of something special.

The Founders

StepSecurity is driven by a team of seasoned security professionals who have built hyper-scale security functions at Microsoft, Uber, and Plaid. We are on a mission to build the best CI/CD security platform.
