Heeler Security Secures $8.5 Million in Seed Series Funding led by Norwest Venture Partners
Heeler Security, a groundbreaking application security company, has just announced the successful closing of an $8.5 million Seed Series funding round. This exciting news comes as a result of a strategic investment led by Norwest Venture Partners, with significant participation from Storm Ventures.
The founders of Heeler, Chris Hertz, James Green, Trever McKee, and Chris DeRamus, have a proven track record of launching successful application security and cloud security products at enterprise scale. Their combined experience in starting and growing companies from initial stages to acquisition and IPO sets them apart as leaders in the industry.
The modern landscape of applications has become increasingly complex, creating a vast and often difficult-to-secure attack surface. This complexity overwhelms security teams, leading to fragmented security insights, increased risks of breaches, and reactive firefighting. Heeler aims to address these challenges by providing real-time security and business context, detection, enrichment, posture management, and response orchestration.
Heeler’s patent-pending ProductDNA technology is a game-changer in the industry. By unifying the code, behavior, and business context of applications in real-time, ProductDNA enables a seamless chain of custody between the intended state in code and the running state in production. This shared operating platform benefits both security and developer teams, embedding security seamlessly into the development lifecycle.
For the first time, organizations can enhance security and availability while maintaining speed and efficiency with Heeler. The platform automates the assessment of security issues on business applications, reducing noise and false positives. Developers can now understand the security impact of their changes as they code, leading to the development of resilient applications.
Heeler’s ProductDNA is already being used by design partners, including unicorn startups and Fortune 500 firms, and will be generally available in Q4 2024. With its innovative approach to application security and cloud security, Heeler is poised to revolutionize the industry and provide organizations with a comprehensive solution for securing their applications.
