As generative AI tools become integral to software development, ensuring the security of AI-generated code has become a critical challenge. Ox Security, a startup founded in 2021 by former Check Point engineers Neatsun Ziv and Lior Arzi, addresses this need by providing a platform that scans for vulnerabilities in both AI-produced and human-written code. Their approach models risk across the entire software supply chain, helping organizations detect subtle security flaws that automated coding tools might miss.

On May 13, 2025, Ox Security announced the closing of a $60 million Series B funding round led by DTCP, with participation from IBM Ventures, Microsoft, Swisscom Ventures, Evolution Equity Partners, and Team8. This funding brings Ox’s total capital raised to $94 million and will be used to accelerate growth and expand market presence. The company currently employs 150 people and serves around 200 customers, including Fortune 10 companies, government agencies, and military entities.

Ox Security’s platform offers comprehensive security tools that assist both developers and security teams. It scans application code, models potential threats, recommends fixes, and generates executive reports that highlight breaches and their root causes. By automating these processes, Ox enables developers to focus on innovation while enhancing the organization’s overall security posture.

According to co-founder Neatsun Ziv, Ox analyzes over 100 million lines of code daily for clients such as eToro, SoFi, Microsoft, and IBM. The startup competes with established players like Snyk, Veracode, Synopsis, and Checkmarx, generating approximately $10 million in annual recurring revenue with expectations to double this figure by the end of the year. Ox aims to become cash-flow-positive within 2-3 years, focusing on sustainable long-term growth.

The rise of AI in software development has accelerated coding productivity but also introduced new security risks. Tools like Ox Security’s platform are essential for organizations to mitigate vulnerabilities in AI-generated code, ensuring that innovation does not come at the expense of security. This development highlights the growing intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for advanced solutions that safeguard modern software ecosystems.
