Prime Security Raises $20M to Scale Design-Stage Security Reviews with AI Agents

"As AI-assisted coding accelerates development velocity by orders of magnitude, security teams face an expanding crisis: they can manually review only 10-15% of planned work before release, leaving 85% to chance. This gap creates a dangerous paradox where development runs at machine speed while security crawls through an assembly line process, dependent on scarce expertise that simply doesn't scale. The industry suffers from a 4.8 million cybersecurity professional shortage globally,"

"Prime Security addresses this imbalance with the first Agentic Security Architect, autonomous AI agents that conduct security design reviews at the planning stage rather than after code is written. By embedding directly into engineering workflows and analyzing all development tasks before a single line of code appears, Prime delivers 100% coverage of planned work while reducing manual effort by more than 60% and accelerating risk resolution by up to 30x."

AI-assisted coding accelerates development velocity by orders of magnitude, leaving security teams able to manually review only 10-15% of planned work before release and exposing 85% to risk. The cybersecurity workforce faces a 4.8 million professional shortage and product security teams sometimes have as few as one security engineer per 100 developers. Prime Security offers an Agentic Security Architect: autonomous AI agents that perform security design reviews at the planning stage, embedding into engineering workflows to analyze all tasks before code is written. Prime reports 100% coverage of planned work, reduces manual effort by over 60%, and accelerates risk resolution up to 30x, serving customers such as PayPal, Qualtrics, Bumble, ThoughtSpot, and Redis Labs.
