About Kodem
Kodem is a groundbreaking start up that specializes in Application Security. The company provides a unique solution to development in a secure environment while reducing the amount of “noise” and false alerts that development and security teams are facing, leading to an improved ability to identify and manage actual threats.
The unique technology, developed by the company, reduces the number of alerts by over 90%, leading to significant reduction in the worktime of development and security teams, rendering the procedures of fixing such issues efficient, and the cloud applications themselves more secure.
The company’s headquarters and R&D center are located in Israel, in addition to sites in New York and in San Francisco. Since its inception, the company has been showing meteoric growth regarding its revenues, and customers base, which totals in hundreds of organizations and companies, in Israel and in the US.
Understanding the Enemy’s Weaknesses
The company’s story began a decade ago, when Aviv Mussinger (CEO), Pavel Furman (CTO) and Idan Bartura (Head of R&D), former IDF 8200 intelligence unit, worked together in NSO (developer of Pegasus offense software). They joined NSO’s technology division as security researchers (vulnerabilities), and specialized in mapping out attack vectors, risk identification and efficient remediation, in order to develop a new offensive product intended for iPhone devices.
During this process, they learned well the security side as well, and after careful analysis and getting acquainted with the strengths and weaknesses of the development world, they developed an offense product, intended for these exposed backdoors.
The Offensive Plays Defense
Over the years, the three worked their way up in NSO, and Mussinger was appointed as Head of Research and Development in the division in which they worked. In 2021 they made a decision that would change their lives: switching sides and moving on to develop defense products and solutions. Upon developing this notion and beginning to develop the defense platform, Kodem was brought forth. The name of the company derives from the Hebrew word, which means “beforehand”, stemming from the understanding that every company or organization, which is interested in protecting their digital assets, need to take a moment and figure out where to focus first. The company’s flagship product was launched in 2023.
Risk Management in Application Security
The first of its kind platform that Kodem developed, connects to the organization’s compute systems, studies how the code is written and how it acts, and how the application runs in real time. The platform provides context that depicts the system’s strengths and weaknesses while emphasizing the weakest links. Thus, the company can enable the security teams to focus on the most relevant threats for the organization, with a recommendation regarding the optimal fix. This maximal efficiency takes form also in generating great savings in time and money, for the company’s customers.
Raising $25 million, led by American Greylock
Upon its inception, the company raised an impressive $25 million from American Greylock and Israeli TPY Capital. Greylock is considered to be one of Silicon Valley’s leading venture capital firms, and has invested in companies such as Facebook, Instagram, Palo Alto Networks, Roblox, Airbnb, Figma, Workday and LinkedIn.
Transparency and Simplicity as Organizational Values
Kodem believes in simplicity, as the company’s teams work on simplifying complex processes in a manner that streamlines both the company’s work and the customers’ activity. The company offers its customers a dynamic work environment that is suited for people who love to learn and to attain information in alternative ways, and for people who want to leave a mark while constantly developing and learning about various fields. Moreover, the company believes in transparency, both towards its customers as well as towards its employees. This entails regular meetings with employees, during which current information regarding sales, the development status of various products, goals and customers is shared.
