In an era where software fuels business operations across every sector, securing the development process is more critical than ever. Legit Security is addressing this urgent need with an application security posture management (ASPM) platform designed to protect the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC)—from the first line of code to final deployment in the cloud. The company helps organizations safeguard their software supply chains while enabling rapid, secure releases that meet today’s fast-moving digital demands.

The Growing Complexity of Modern Development

Modern development environments are more dynamic and decentralized than ever before. As organizations adopt new tools, frameworks, and cloud-native architectures, their attack surface expands significantly. Traditional security approaches, which often rely on manual processes and disconnected tools, fall short in such complex ecosystems. Legit Security was founded to solve this problem by providing an automated, end-to-end platform that brings visibility and control across the entire SDLC.

The platform automatically discovers, maps, and monitors the components and workflows involved in application delivery. From code repositories and CI/CD pipelines to open-source packages and deployment environments, Legit provides a single-pane-of-glass view into security posture. This unified approach helps security, development, and compliance teams prioritize risks and take immediate action—without slowing down development velocity.

A Smarter Approach to SDLC Security

Legit Security’s platform is built around the structure of a formal SDLC. It supports security best practices through every stage: planning, analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, and maintenance.

In the planning phase, teams can identify potential risks, dependencies, and compliance requirements before a single line of code is written. During the analysis stage, Legit helps translate customer and business requirements into secure technical objectives. As the design phase begins, multiple architectural options can be evaluated through the lens of risk and security, allowing leadership to choose the most resilient path forward.

During development, Legit monitors both proprietary and open-source code for known vulnerabilities, risky configurations, or policy violations. Testing becomes more robust through integrated security checks and automated validations. Once software reaches implementation and deployment, Legit ensures that only code meeting pre-defined security criteria moves forward. Even after deployment, the platform supports ongoing maintenance with continuous security monitoring, ensuring long-term integrity and compliance.

Origin in Cyber Intelligence

The story behind Legit Security begins with its founders, who served in Israel’s elite Unit 8200 cyber intelligence division. There, they gained hands-on experience in offensive and defensive cybersecurity operations, including those specifically targeting software delivery pipelines. After working at cybersecurity leaders like Checkmarx and Microsoft, the founding team came together to build Legit—a platform born out of necessity and shaped by real-world threat intelligence.

The company has since grown into a global force by recruiting security professionals from major organizations including Ping Identity, Duo Security, and Cisco. This diverse talent pool brings deep expertise across software engineering, security operations, and enterprise application development.

Addressing Security at Scale

One of the biggest challenges in today’s DevSecOps environment is securing software at scale. As development teams expand and release cycles shorten, security teams often struggle to keep up. Legit Security’s solution is to embed a security checklist into the software pipeline itself, observing every step and ensuring all mandatory security protocols are followed before deployment.

This approach enables organizations to deploy only software that has passed through verified security gates. By standardizing and automating these controls, Legit significantly reduces the risk of breaches while helping teams deliver software faster and more confidently.

Driving Governance and Compliance

With security threats growing more sophisticated, regulatory requirements are also becoming more stringent. Legit Security helps organizations stay ahead of these demands with powerful governance tools. The platform tracks incident trends and security performance across teams, pipelines, and timeframes, enabling better strategic decision-making.

Legit also supports compliance with industry standards by generating automated audit reports, highlighting policy violations, and streamlining collaboration between security, development, and compliance teams. This level of visibility and accountability is particularly valuable for enterprises operating in regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

Leadership and Vision

At the helm of Legit Security is CEO and Founder Roni Fuchs, whose leadership experience spans startups, enterprise tech, and global security firms. At Checkmarx and Microsoft, Fuchs led product and business units following successful startup acquisitions. His early cybersecurity training at Unit 8200 set the foundation for a lifelong mission: to protect software delivery at its most vulnerable points.

Today, Fuchs and the Legit Security team are committed to helping businesses navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape with confidence. Their goal is not only to secure software releases but to change the way organizations think about application security—from an afterthought to a built-in advantage.

“We allows you to stay safe while releasing software fast by automatically discovering security issues from code to cloud, remediating threats and ensuring the integrity of every software release.”
