Backslash Security, an Israeli computer and network security startup founded by Shahar Man, is revolutionizing the way companies approach application security. With an $8M investment from StageOne Ventures, First Rays Venture Partners, and The D. E. Shaw Group, provides a cloud-native solution that emphasizes risk context, making it easier for AppSec teams to identify and address security risks quickly. Traditional application security tools often produce an excessive number of low-value alerts, which leads to an overwhelming amount of noise for AppSec teams. 

However, Backslash's platform enables teams to see and easily act upon critical toxic code flows in their cloud-native apps, prioritize code risks based on relevant cloud context, and significantly cut MTTR by enabling developers with the evidence they need to take ownership of the process. Backslash believes that having context in the cloud is crucial for improved efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced security posture in the cloud. By providing more information about potential risks, including details about the code, its runtime environment, and relevant log files, Backslash is leading the way in the development of secure, efficient, and effective deployment processes.
