In 2022 Zaid Al Hamami and Rajiv Sinha looked at how AppSec was operating and saw a massive drag on engineering. Security teams were spending their weeks managing YAML files and chasing down theoretical vulnerabilities, while developers just wanted to ship code.

They founded Boost Security with a very specific goal: Make security work at developer speed.

Back then, that meant deploying via the SCM so developers didn't have to touch their pipelines and using context to filter out alerts that didn't matter.

Then, the definition of a "developer" changed.

AI agents like Cursor and Claude Code entered the workflow. While some code was still developed in the traditional way, huge volumes were being generated, refactored, and pulled from external models at breakneck velocity. The traditional speed limit of software engineering disappeared.

Most security vendors tried to apply their old, human-speed review gates to this new machine-speed output. The math didn't work, so their backlogs exploded. The tools designed to keep software safe became the exact bottleneck we originally set out to eliminate.

For us, evolution was natural.

Because our DNA was always tied to developer velocity, we didn't have to pivot our philosophy to keep up with the changed world. The core mission hasn't changed an inch. The only thing that changed is the math.

Today, Boost Security is the AI-Native SDLC Defense Platform. We run on the exact same clock as your coding agents, operating as an automated reflex that secures the developer endpoint, blocks malicious supply chain ingestion, and auto-fixes code before the commit.
