Our Story

It started with a simple observation: security testing was broken. As developers ourselves, we experienced the pain of bolted-on security tools that slowed down development, produced false positives, and failed to catch real vulnerabilities. Late nights debugging security scans that should have been helping us became the norm.

The turning point came during a major security incident at a previous company. Despite having multiple security tools in place, a critical vulnerability slipped through to production, affecting thousands of users. That's when we realized the problem wasn't just about having security tools – it was about having the right security tools that actually worked with developers, not against them.

We envisioned a world where security testing was seamless, intelligent, and actually helpful. Instead of security being a roadblock, it would be an enabler. Instead of overwhelming developers with noise, it would provide clear, actionable insights.

Our vision was ambitious: create a security platform that developers would love to use, that security teams could trust, and that businesses could rely on. We wanted to build something that would make the digital world safer, one application at a time.

The first year was all about building. Not just code, but the foundation of what would become Obsedian. We spent countless hours researching existing solutions, talking to developers and security professionals, and understanding the real pain points in the industry.

Our small team of three co-founders worked out of a cramped co-working space, fueled by coffee and the belief that we could build something better. Every line of code was written with purpose, every feature designed with the end user in mind.

The breakthrough came when we successfully integrated AI-powered analysis with traditional security testing methods. Our proprietary engine could not only detect known vulnerabilities but also identify potential security issues based on code patterns and context.

This wasn't just another static analysis tool – it was a intelligent security companion that understood the nuances of modern application development. The early results were promising: 90% reduction in false positives and 3x faster vulnerability detection.

Word spread quickly in the developer community. Our beta users became our biggest advocates, sharing their success stories and helping us refine the platform. What started as a tool for static analysis evolved into a comprehensive security testing suite.

We expanded our team, bringing in world-class security experts, engineers, and researchers. Each new team member brought unique perspectives and expertise, helping us tackle increasingly complex security challenges.

Innovation didn't stop with our initial success. We introduced dynamic analysis capabilities, API security testing, mobile application scanning, and pioneered LLM security testing – addressing the emerging security challenges of AI-powered applications.

Our platform evolved from a single-purpose tool to a comprehensive security ecosystem that covers every aspect of modern application security, from code to cloud to AI.

Today, Obsedian is trusted by thousands of developers and hundreds of organizations worldwide. But this is just the beginning. We're working on next-generation capabilities that will further revolutionize how security testing is done.

Our roadmap includes advanced AI-powered threat modeling, real-time security monitoring, and predictive vulnerability analysis. We're not just keeping up with the evolving threat landscape – we're staying ahead of it.
