Hacktron Raises $2.9 Million to Bring AI-Powered Security Testing to Every Code Change

By Richard Snee, on behalf of The Crane Team

Software is being written faster than ever.

As AI accelerates software development, security must evolve just as quickly. Traditional security reviews that happen late in the development cycle are increasingly becoming too slow for modern engineering teams.

Hacktron is building AI-powered security testing that operates alongside developers, identifying vulnerabilities continuously as code is written.

Its $2.9 million pre-seed funding will help accelerate that vision.

Why we're excited

As software development accelerates through AI, security can't remain a bottleneck. The future belongs to platforms that make security continuous, automatic and deeply integrated into every development workflow. Hacktron is helping build that future by giving developers confidence that every code change has been tested before it reaches production.

Congratulations to the Hacktron team on this important milestone.
