Application security company Arxan Technologies announced yesterday that it has joined forces with two other industry firms, CollabNet VersionOne and XebiaLabs, to form a new entity, Digital.ai. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The three businesses will combine their expertise– business agility, software delivery, and application security– into a single platform. Overall, Digital.ai seeks to aid companies pursuing digital transformation to deliver digital experiences that customers trust.
“Digital.ai enables enterprises to focus on business outcomes instead of outputs, unifying value creation, delivery, and protection practices to drive efficiencies and create engaging, secure digital experiences that customers value and trust,” said Digital.ai CEO Ashok Reddy. “Now more than ever, it is critical that organizations leverage the power of business agility to optimize processes and make decisions rooted in customer centricity. Doing so will result in higher quality, more secure products that are delivered faster and drive stronger customer and employee engagement.”
Arxan’s approach to security is to protect apps “from the inside out.” The company protects the app’s binary code, JavaScript, and cryptographic keys to guard common entry points from fraudster attacks.
Digital.ai serves companies across multiple sectors including automotive, finance, digital media, gaming, insurance, medical devices, and more. The company’s customers include ABN AMRO Bank, KeyBank, KLM/Air France, Siemens, and Toyota.
Today’s news comes almost 20 years after Arxan’s launch. The San Francisco-based company was founded in 2001 by Hoi Chang and Mikhail Atallah. Since then, Joe Sander has taken the role as CEO.
