About Legit Security

According to Gartner’s 2025 report, ASPM (Application Security Posture Management) is a transformational technology to be adopted by 80% of organizations within 2 years. 

Legit Security is an ASPM leader and driving this emerging, high demand market while building a new innovative way to secure applications in the era of AI-first development. 

Legit has an unmatched ability to discover and visualize the entire software attack surface, prioritize the most important risk and guide developers to fix it fast. Traditional Application Security is always limited by developer collaboration – this is why Legit is now innovating in AI coding agents – leveraging them to create secure code from the start, and fix all known risks. This gives engineering and security teams their time back to push the business forward fast and securely 

Legit is backed by top-tier VCs, led by an AppSec-experienced leadership team and has some of the largest logos as it’s customers – giving it an advantage to move fast in this emerging space
