Legit Security sells an application security posture management platform that unifies code scanning, secrets detection, software supply chain security, and vulnerability remediation. It now leads its marketing with an AI line. VibeGuard guards AI-generated code in the IDE, and an AI Security Command Center inventories the AI models, MCP servers, and coding assistants developers use. This AI layer is the most absorbable part of the business. Model providers and code platforms could add model inventory and IDE guardrails, while the harder asset to take away is the code-to-cloud scanning graph wired into enterprise development. That graph carries named enterprise references such as Google, NYSE, and Kraft Heinz. The most recent round in the reviewed sources is the 2023 Series B.
