Boost Security Raises $4 Million for SDLC Defense Platform

Boost Security has announced raising $4 million in funding to expand its SDLC defence platform, alongside the acquisitions of SecureIQx and Korbit[.]ai to broaden its capabilities. Bringing total funding to $16 million, the round comprises investments from White Star Capital, Amiral Ventures, Accelia Capital, and Sorensen Capital.

The Montreal, Canada-based startup, founded in 2022, describes its AI-native platform as securing developer endpoints and the software supply chain, with the aim of identifying and resolving vulnerabilities throughout the development lifecycle. The SecureIQx acquisition adds a Software Composition Analysis reachability engine that analyses code across more than a dozen programming languages, while Korbit[.]ai provides a code-review and engineering-insights platform focusing on security, performance, and code flaws.

Boost Security founder and CEO Zaid Al Hamami said the acquisitions bring deeper agentic capabilities to meet the rising frequency and sophistication of supply chain attacks. The announcement notes that the funding round and acquisitions are intended to strengthen the platform’s ability to address code vulnerabilities and secure AI tools before code is integrated.
