Security Week reports that a group of angel investors keen to support cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions are the source of the new funding.

The US-based business was established in 2022 and is involved in the dynamic application security testing (DAST) industry. NightVision has the potential to revolutionize the way developers and businesses identify and address software security flaws early in the development process.

The technology of the organization is engineered to imitate assaults on web apps and APIs in order to find vulnerabilities that may be exploited before the applications are implemented in live settings. This proactive method demonstrates NightVision's dedication to improving software integrity via innovation and is readily incorporated into normal development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

With the $5.4 million in finance, NightVision plans to advance its technological skills and quicken the creation of new products. The investment will allow for the wider use of its security solutions on both public and private networks, as well as more innovation in the use of contemporary greybox crawling techniques to identify undocumented APIs.

The company's solution also ensures a secure development process by enabling developers to easily scan code, identify defects, and get instant feedback on risky lines. In the fast-paced development settings of today, where the incorporation of AI-assisted solutions is becoming the norm, this simplified method is essential.

"In recent years, there has been an explosion of custom applications, APIs, and microservices – but the application security testing industry has been unable to keep up with the rapid pace of development," said Kinnaird McQuade, CTO and co-founder of NightVision, emphasizing the need for advancements in the field. This has to change now more than ever, especially when developers are using AI-assisted solutions to produce quicker.

With the completion of this initial fundraising round, NightVision receives the investing community's first major financial support, paving the way for the company's next stage of growth in the cybersecurity industry.
