- [Cloudanix’s Real-Time Threat and Anomaly Detection for Workloads on AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/cloudanix-real-time-threat-and-anomaly-detection-for-workloads-on-aws/)
- [How Cloudanix Secures Containerized Applications Running on Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/how-cloudanix-secures-containerized-applications-running-on-amazon-eks/)

## About Cloudanix

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Cloudanix is a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that unifies code security, cloud posture management, workload protection, CIEM, and just-in-time access on a single asset graph.
- **Entity Type**: Private (YC-backed, Summer 2021 batch)
- **Headquarters**: Sunnyvale, California, USA (with an office in Pune, India)
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Sujay Maheshwari (CEO) and Purusottam Mupunu (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Cloud Security / Cybersecurity
- **Target customers**: B2B – DevOps and security teams at enterprises using multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, DigitalOcean)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: Secure the full software lifecycle — from the first line of code a developer writes to the cloud workloads running in production — by connecting every finding to the owner, blast radius, and fix path.

## Products & Services
- **CNAPP+ Platform**: SaaS control plane that integrates Code Security (SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC), CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, and Just-In-Time Access into one risk graph. Supports agentless onboarding in 30 minutes.
- **Identity & JIT**: CIEM for humans and non-humans, plus just-in-time access across cloud, databases, Kubernetes, and VMs. Works with any IdP.
- **Attack Path & CDR**: Prioritization engine that combines reachability, blast radius, identity behavior, and threat context.
- **Agentic AI Security**: AI-SPM, gateway, red-team, and model scanning for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Kiro, with Cursor/GitHub Copilot/Aider on the roadmap). Includes Coding Agent Guard (one-line install on developer machines) and Coding Agent JIT.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – Y Combinator seed (standard $125k for 7% equity)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (Summer 2021 batch). Achieved AWS Security Competency (2024/2025). Integrates natively with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Slack, Splunk, Datadog, etc.
- **Growth Signals**: Expanded from 8 employees (at YC batch) to multiple open engineering and sales roles; added Agentic AI Security module; listed on careers page with six engineering positions (Python, Frontend, Ruby on Rails, QA, Support, Red Team) plus sales & marketing roles.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified asset graph**: Correlates findings across code, cloud configuration, identities, workloads, and AI agents – eliminating the “tool sprawl” of five separate dashboards.
- **Agentless & fast onboarding**: Customers see findings within 15 minutes of connecting a cloud account; no agent required for CSPM.
- **Multi-cloud & multi-account native**: Works across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and DigitalOcean with 1,000+ policies mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI, NIST, GDPR.
- **Privacy-first design**: SaaS control plane reads configuration via read-only APIs and stores only metadata (no customer data or secrets); Coding Agent Guard runs entirely on the developer’s machine.

## Strategic Focus
- **AI security expansion**: Building out security for AI coding agents (Agentic AI Security) and adding support for more coding agent platforms.
- **Deepening integrations**: Roadmap includes Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Aider, and expanding coding agent JIT/guard functionality.
- **Private deployment options**: Offering data residency solutions for customers with strict compliance requirements.

## Why Work Here
- **Impactful engineering challenges**: Join a YC-backed team solving multi-cloud security at scale – from real-time risk graphs to AI agent security.
- **Locations**: Hybrid/office roles in Sunnyvale, CA (US) and Pune, India.
- **Culture**: Startup pace with a focus on shipping quickly and owning problems end-to-end. Open roles include Software Engineer (Python, Frontend, Ruby on Rails), QA Automation, Support Engineer, and Red Team Security Engineer.
- **Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but as a YC company, expect equity, direct work with founders, and the opportunity to shape a fast-growing product.
