Big day - announcing @arcjet's Series A + our new local AI security model 🚀
An opt-in AI layer that runs expert security analysis for every request, entirely locally. 🏡
Accurate detection is the hardest part of security. 🎯
Legacy network-edge tools see packets, not users or logic. Real context lives in your code - where better decisions can actually be made. 🤖
That’s why we built Arcjet’s first AI security model. 🛡️
It runs inference locally in milliseconds, right inside your request handlers. Adds an extra layer to your defenses so you can ship faster and safer. 🍰
Arcjet now protects 500+ production apps used by 1,000+ developers - stopping bots, scrapers, spam, and fake accounts. 🕷️
So we’ve raised an $8.3M Series A led by @pluralplatform, bringing total funding to $12M. Also participating: @a16z, @seedcamp, @feross, and @jeffiel 💸
I'm excited to work alongside a small but exceptional team building the security platform that ships with your code. 🚀
I’m excited to announce @arcjet has raised $3.6m seed funding to build the future of developer security, led by @zanelackey at @a16z! Also participating in the round are @seedcamp and a roster of great angels.
Although deploying code has become simpler, production security remains too difficult. Developers need a set of tools that solve real problems in the way they’re used to - with code.
Arcjet helps developers deal with:
- Spam & fraudulent signups
- Unwanted bots scraping content
- Enforcing dynamic, per user rate limits.
- Scanners and attacks like SQLi, XSS, etc
Embedding security rules into the application also means they can be tested. If you’ve ever turned on a new security tool then you know the pain of suddenly breaking production because you couldn’t test it locally or on staging!
For the last few years I’ve been playing with devtools all day every day for the @consoledotdev newsletter, so I’m excited to be working on bringing a focus on developer experience to security tooling!
