2023. ProjectDiscovery raises $25M to launch a cloud version of its threat-scanning platform



ProjectDiscovery, a platform dedicated to identifying newly discovered vulnerabilities in codebases, has successfully secured $25 million in Series A funding. The platform offers continuous monitoring for potential exploits across websites, applications, APIs, and various cloud environments and services. Facilitated by predefined templates, IT teams and engineers can efficiently locate and address vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. While ProjectDiscovery is a significant player in the exploit discovery tools market, it's worth noting that other vendors, such as Socket, which recently raised $20 million, and SonarSource, a major player in the code-scanning realm with a $4.7 billion valuation from a $412 million investment last year, are also making strides in this space.
