As AI coding tools produce code faster, security teams face more challenges in fixing vulnerabilities quickly. Legit Security’s platform helps identify and fix high-risk issues based on factors such as business importance, data sensitivity and exposure. It also feeds these fixes back into AI coding tools to help prevent future security vulnerabilities.

“Eitan has spent his career on the hardest part of AppSec: getting vulnerabilities fixed, not just found,” said Roni Fuchs, CEO and co-founder of Legit. “He was building automated remediation before most of the market believed in it. Now that AI is writing so much of the world’s code, that conviction looks a lot like foresight.

“I’ve known Legit’s leadership team for some time, and followed the company’s evolution closely. Conversations with security leaders across the industry reinforced my confidence in both the team and the direction they’re taking,” said Worcel.
