Hacktron Plans to Build AI Platform to Test Code for Vulnerabilities
DevOps.com, Wednesday, May 13th, 2026
Hacktron raises $2.9M in seed funding to develop an AI platform that identifies exploitable code vulnerabilities.
Hacktron has announced the development of an AI-powered platform designed to continuously test code for vulnerabilities by analyzing pull requests and code changes to identify actual exploitable risks. The company, fresh off raising $2.9 million in seed capital, aims to reduce false positives that burden DevSecOps teams and provide remediation recommendations that can be shared with AI coding tools.
With extensive vulnerability research expertise and having uncovered critical OAuth2 Proxy vulnerabilities, Hacktron positions its solution as essential as AI models make vulnerability discovery increasingly rapid.
The platform leverages advanced AI reasoning capabilities from Anthropic and OpenAI to identify vulnerabilities in both new and legacy code before deployment, addressing the critical need to prevent security incidents in an era where vulnerabilities are discovered within hours of deployment.
