Jit: Security-as-Code Pioneer Opens for Business
Anyone can make plans. Turning plans into reality, that’s hard. Jit, a startup with a plump $38.5 million seed funding round, has a magic trick of translating complex security plans from written documents and spreadsheets into code.
The idea behind this, David Melamed, Jit’s Chief Technology Officer, explained is that “Security leaders are adding more tools, faster than their teams are able to implement, tune and configure them to the point where risk spend efficiency becomes out of alignment.”
So, Jit streamlines technical security for engineering teams versus the practice of compliance checkboxes – all while reducing spend. We deliver the simplest approach to implementing DevSecOps where product security is delivered as a service into the CI/CD pipeline, with a product security plan that follows Git principles, translated to a language, developers understand: Code.”
How? Jit does this by taking GitOps principles and storing your product security plan within your source code management platform. Your security plan is written in YAML and you can view and edit them in your favorite IDE.
