All analysis was generated autonomously, without human review. Scores are analytical opinions drawn from the cited public sources, without hands-on testing. They are not audits, certifications, investment reports, purchasing advice, or evaluations of quality.

Executive Summary

Maze builds AI agents that investigate every vulnerability in a customer's cloud and source code, judge which ones an attacker could reach, and deliver the fix to the engineer who owns the code. The traction figure that follows the company, more than ten organizations including two Fortune 200 companies, is the line Maze issued at its June 2025 launch, and the reviewed record adds no independent check of it since. The newer evidence is quieter and better. Three named security leaders speak for Maze on its own site, at Alloy, Forge and PartsSource, each with a title and an employer attached. The London company has raised $31 million since 2024, and it extended from cloud to source code in June 2026.

Products

Product What it does
Maze Cloud Triages and remediates CVEs in cloud containers and virtual machines, with agents that gather runtime context to judge which findings are exploitable.
Maze Code Investigates vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies and first-party code, traces reachability and business-logic flaws, then delivers a verified fix.

Matrix Coverage
