Gitar, a San Mateo-based startup leveraging autonomous agents to automate code security, has officially emerged from stealth mode today, announcing a $9 million funding round to accelerate its platform development.
Scaling Security Through Automation
The new capital infusion is earmarked for aggressive expansion, specifically targeting the growth of Gitar’s engineering and product teams. As the company transitions out of its quiet phase, the focus shifts toward scaling the core systems that enable its agent-based security services to function effectively in complex enterprise environments.
Addressing the Vulnerability Gap
Gitar enters the market at a time when software supply chain security remains a critical pain point for developers. By utilizing specialized agents, the platform aims to bridge the gap between traditional static analysis tools and the manual oversight required to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in modern codebases.
The company’s primary objective remains doubling down on the infrastructure required to deliver these automated security insights at scale, ensuring that engineering teams can maintain velocity without compromising on safety standards.
