The most important code inside a modern application may be code the company itself never wrote.

Enterprise applications today are assembled from open-source libraries, software packages, container images, databases, middleware and other dependencies. Artificial intelligence is now accelerating that model further. Coding assistants and software agents can generate code, recommend libraries and assemble applications at a speed no human development team could previously match.

But that speed creates a basic security question: if software is being built from components coming from many different sources, how does an enterprise know what it can trust?

That is the problem CleanStart is trying to address.

The cybersecurity startup operates in the software supply chain security market, with a focus on verifying the components that enter enterprise applications. Instead of waiting for finished software to be scanned for vulnerabilities, CleanStart wants security to move further upstream, closer to the point where developers first choose...
