JACKSONVILLE, FL—(EIN PRESSWIRE)—Today, Start Left® Security, a cloud-native security innovator that uses a patented platform to unify application securitywith cloud security posture management (CSPM) and security analytics, announced that it has been accepted to join the Microsoft for Startups program, which is designed to help emerging B2B software startups. Customers that would get the most benefits from Start Left®'s Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) Platform are also heavy users of Microsoft cloud solutions, thus the partnership is mutually beneficial.

“When compared to other CNAPPs, Start Left® Security stands out as a truly different example. Their analytics, a more modern approach, and ability to work with any existing customer-provided solution is crucial."

"Our objective is to empower startups at every stage of their journey," said Bharat Shah,  Corporate Vice President at Microsoft. Our mission is to help our customers identify innovative solutions developed by seed-stage firms like Start Left® Security. Start Left® has a unique approach to CNAPP that is significantly different from what I have seen. Their combination of analytics-driven detection and response with a “start left” methodology rather than the traditional “shift left” approach allows Start Left® Security to leverage any solution a customer already has in their environment to add more value. We are excited that Start Left® can also integrate with Microsoft Azure Cloud, Azure Machine Learning, Azure Active Directory, and Sentinel to give our customers the confidence that comes with an enterprise-ready solution.”

Start Left® Security delivers intelligent insights and actions by providing out-of-the-box automation and ML-driven security posture management analytics that finds unknown risks across code, people, CI/CD pipelines, product lines, multi-clouds, workloads, data, and more. Start Left®’s no-code API is an easy-to-use platform to integrate lots of APIs. It enables customers to focus on their business without being distracted by API integration and the overwhelming amount of information from all the tools that is difficult to sort through manually. Start Left® Security does the analysis for you to save time and resources. The platform’s clean UI makes understanding risks simple for everyone across traditionally siloed groups such as SecOps, CloudOps, GRC, DevOps, and engineering.

Personalized support is available through Microsoft's Startups program to help businesses like Start Left® Security get off to a fast start. The program operates to help startups receive assistance in developing a scalable solution using Microsoft technologies: optimizing the architecture, ensuring security, identity and privacy, and become an enterprise-grade solution. When it comes to GTM, entrepreneurs are assisted in becoming enterprise sales and marketing ready, and ensure the startups are ready to accept investment capital so they may speed up their growth.

Jeremy Vaughan, co-founder and CEO of Start Left® Security, says, "It is an honor to join Microsoft for Startups and get this opportunity to benefit from Microsoft's experience, technology, reputation, and client base around the world. Our goal is to help businesses improve their security, cross-departmental collaboration, and operational efficiency by facilitating the seamless integration of existing cloud-based CI/CD tools and cloud platforms, and by automatically identifying and prioritizing security issues and risks like gaps in monitoring of people, processes, activities, behaviors, and technology. In collaboration with Microsoft, we can reach a far larger audience.”
