Backslash Description

Backslash Security provides application security solutions designed to help AppSec teams manage risks in cloud-deployed applications. The company addresses the challenge of overwhelming alert volumes from traditional security tools by focusing on reachability and exploitability analysis to identify critical risks. The platform offers visibility into application vulnerabilities based on contextual prioritization, incorporating reachability analysis, CVSS scores, EPSS metrics, and proprietary technology. This approach enables security teams to focus on genuine risks rather than processing large volumes of low-value alerts. The solution aims to reduce Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) by providing actionable intelligence about security threats. Backslash Security targets AppSec teams working in fast-paced development environments where code is rapidly deployed to cloud infrastructure. The company emphasizes facilitating collaboration between security and development teams to create more efficient security processes. Their technology includes capabilities for securing AI-generated code, IDE environments, and MCP ecosystems. The company was founded by CEO Shahar Man and CTO Yossi Pik, with backing from investors including First Rays Venture Partners, Stage One, D.E. Shaw & Co., and notable cybersecurity industry figures such as Shlomo Kramer and executives from companies like Aqua Security, Armis Security, and CyberArk. Backslash Security positions itself as a cloud-native solution in the application security market.
