[ABOUT]
A billion developers are coming. Someone has to secure their code.
AI pentests that find real exploits. Code security that stops the next one from shipping. We started because both halves were broken — and no one was fixing them together.

[WORD FROM OUR FOUNDERS]
Chinmay found a way to forge JWT signatures in a library shipping into millions of builds. CVSS 10. It sat there for years because scanners look for patterns, and this was a mistake in reasoning. Attackers reason. Scanners match. Annual pentests leave you blind for 363 days. We built CodeAnt to close that gap.

[WORD FROM OUR FOUNDERS]
We met over a vulnerability. Chinmay found a way to forge JWT signatures in a library that ships into millions of builds — a CVSS 10, the highest score there is. It had been sitting there for years. Not because it was hidden, but because every tool that looked at it was looking for the wrong thing.
That's the whole thesis. Attackers reason. Scanners pattern-match. And while defense runs on an annual cycle, attackers now run on AI — patient, parallel, and always on. Annual pentests leave you blind for 363 days. Everybody's breach lives in that gap.
CodeAnt is our attempt to close it: AI that breaks your software the way a good researcher would, and catches the next flaw before it reaches main.

[MISSION]
Every line of code — human or machine — secure, compliant, and production-ready from day one.
Break it first
Defense written by people who have never broken anything is a checklist. We do offense before we sell defense.
Proof over posture
Every number on this site traces to a CVE, a report, or a finding. If we can't source it, we don't say it.
Signal, not volume
Ten thousand findings is not a security posture. One exploited auth bypass is.
Builder speed
Security that slows the release is security that gets switched off.
