NightVision

NightVision is a security testing software company focused on Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), with a particular emphasis on API security. The company develops a platform designed to integrate security testing into development workflows, targeting enterprise businesses that want to reduce friction between development speed and security requirements.

NightVision's platform enables developers to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities at the code level, with the stated goal of breaking down organizational silos between development and security teams. The company positions its tooling to address common bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle, helping organizations reduce time to market while maintaining security standards.

In addition to its core DAST platform, NightVision offers a complementary product called API Envy, which focuses on API discovery and documentation. This tool reflects the company's emphasis on API security as a distinct and growing concern within application security.

The company was co-founded by Kinnaird McQuade, who previously held lead security engineer roles at Square, Salesforce, and Synopsys, and is the creator of open-source security tools including Cloudsplaining and Policy Sentry, each with approximately two million downloads. NightVision is headquartered and operates in the United States, with a board that includes technology investors and executives from various industries.
