Native's $42 Million Bet: Cloud Security Needs Fewer Alerts and More Locks
Cloud security became very good at spotting trouble and strangely dependent on humans to fix it. Native's founders - veterans of AWS and Check Point - raised $42 million to turn policy into cloud-native guardrails before the ticket queue begins.
SolarWinds
The unglamorous software that keeps 300,000 networks from falling over - and the Austin company that learned to rebuild trust after the most talked-about hack of the decade.
Corridor
Corridor is a San Francisco security company building an AI-native platform that embeds protection directly into AI coding workflows. Its Agentic Coding Security Management (ACSM) platform reviews every file edit and pull request in real time, catching vulnerabilities as code is generated by tools like Cursor and Claude Code rather than after it ships. Founded in 2025 by former CISA staffers Jack Cable and Ashwin Ramaswami with security veteran Alex Stamos, Corridor has raised $30.4M, including a $25M Series A at a $200M valuation in March 2026.
