Interview with Neatsun Ziv, Co-Founder and CEO of OX Security
In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, ensuring application security has become a critical concern for organisations worldwide. Enter OX Security, a pioneering platform designed to help businesses focus on high-risk vulnerabilities by leveraging advanced AI technology.
Co-Founder and CEO Neatsun Ziv, who previously served as VP of Cyber Security at Check Point, leads OX Security's mission to revolutionise the way application security is approached. With the recent $60M Series B funding, OX Security is poised to expand its capabilities, particularly in identifying risks derived from AI-generated code and scaling its impact globally.
The Challenges of Unified Application Security
The key challenges in unifying various scanning tools, secrets management, SBOM (Software Bill of Materials), SaaS (Software as a Service) discovery, and other components into a seamless developer experience revolve around transforming vast, diverse data into clear, actionable insights. Developers are faced with mountains of raw data from multiple tools that need to be synthesised into concise, prioritised, and executable guidance rather than overwhelming noise.
Other challenges include integration complexity and compatibility, reducing alert fatigue and false positives, secrets proliferation and detection challenges, providing context and ownership, maintaining security and governance, and supporting modern development velocity.
OX Security's Innovative Solutions
OX Security addresses these challenges by offering full integration across scanning tools, secrets management, SBOM, SaaS discovery, and more. Its unique innovation, the Pipeline Bill of Materials (PBOM), provides a comprehensive view of software's journey from development to production, beyond SBOM's focus on software components.
The platform uses analysis of exploitability, reachability, and business impact for evidence-based prioritization. Agent OX, OX Security's new multi-agent architecture, features AI models specialized in specific vulnerability types and programming languages, based on the principle of human expertise development.
OX Security focuses on one-click remediation directly inside developer workflows to reduce friction and enhance security fixes, while maintaining developer control and avoiding unintended side effects. Each Agent OX AI model explains its reasoning, shows its work, and allows developers to understand why a particular solution was chosen, ensuring trustworthiness and explainability.
Navigating the Future of Security Tooling
Balancing automation with developer trust and control is essential as AI security tools become more mainstream. OX Security helps organisations navigate this uncharted tension by embedding guided remediation directly into developer workflows.
Recognising the critical shifts in threat landscape, such as Threat Actor Acceleration, the "Vibe Coding" Phenomenon, and Supply Chain Attack Evolution, OX Security is at the forefront of addressing these challenges and shaping the future of application security.
With its AI-powered platform and commitment to evidence-based prioritization, OX Security is poised to help developers focus on the 5% of vulnerabilities that matter, ensuring a secure and efficient software development process.
