About

Bridgecrew, founded in March 2019 and based in San Francisco with an R&D office in Tel Aviv, specializes in automating cloud security engineering. The company focuses on identifying and remediating cloud infrastructure misconfigurations, enhancing security through automation and infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions. Its platform allows organizations to monitor and correct insecure configurations during both runtime and build time, integrating security into the development lifecycle. In February 2021, Bridgecrew was acquired by Palo Alto Networks, which aimed to strengthen its cloud security posture management and DevOps-related security capabilities. Prior to the acquisition, Bridgecrew raised $18 million in funding, with significant contributions from investors like Palo Alto Networks and Battery Ventures. The company experienced substantial growth, tripling its customer base and monthly sign-ups in the latter half of 2020.
