Mobb develops an AI-powered platform designed to automatically remediate security vulnerabilities directly within source code. The company's core product functions as an AI coding assistant for application security, moving beyond traditional tools that merely identify issues. By integrating seamlessly into development workflows, Mobb provides trusted, automated code fixes for discovered flaws, enhancing both the security posture and efficiency of software delivery. This approach provides visibility into AI-generated code and facilitates predictable risk remediation at enterprise scale.
The company was founded in 2021 by Eitan Worcel and Jonathan Afek. Their foundational insight stemmed from recognizing that the existing application security landscape primarily focused on problem identification, leading to significant bottlenecks for development and security teams. Worcel and Afek established Mobb to pioneer a new frontier in security, emphasizing auto-remediation by proactively addressing vulnerabilities at their source within an organization's code repositories.
Mobb targets a range of customers across industries such as financial services, B2B software, health tech, and insurance, serving AppSec teams, CISOs, developers, and DevSecOps personnel. The company's vision centers on transforming the collaborative dynamic between security teams and developers. By directly fixing security vulnerabilities with intelligent automation, Mobb aims to empower development organizations to build and deploy software with increased speed and confidence, ensuring robust application security from within the development lifecycle.

Mobb is an AI-powered cybersecurity company that automates vulnerability remediation in application code, targeting the application security (AppSec) market to reduce security backlogs and enable developers to focus on innovation.[1][2][4] Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Mobb serves enterprises with large developer teams by integrating with existing scanning tools like Checkmarx, automatically fixing vulnerabilities such as XSS, injection flaws, and path traversal directly in code repositories like GitHub.[2][3][4] It solves the core problem of AppSec tools that only detect issues without remediation, creating bottlenecks; Mobb's auto-fix technology cuts remediation time to minutes, powering DevSecOps transitions for security teams, developers, and CISOs.[2][3] With 11-50 employees, $5.4M in seed funding, and an enterprise value of $22-32M, Mobb shows strong early momentum, including winning first prize at Black Hat USA 2023 Startup Spotlight and partnerships with scanning vendors.[1][3]
Mobb was founded in 2021 by Eitan Worcel and Jonathan Afek, both seasoned application security professionals frustrated with the industry's focus on vulnerability detection over fixes.[1][2][3] The idea emerged from recognizing that scanning tools generate overwhelming backlogs without actionable solutions, impeding security and development workflows; Worcel noted that "finding more problems without facilitating the remediation doesn’t make organizations more secure."[3] Early traction came swiftly: launched publicly around 2023, Mobb secured unnamed enterprise clients with tens of thousands of developers, a key Checkmarx partnership announced shortly after, and the Black Hat USA 2023 win, validating its auto-remediation approach.[3] Pivotal moments include shifting AppSec toward AI-driven fixes in native code repos, with a global team spanning Israel, the US, Netherlands, Indonesia, Greece, UK, and Portugal.[2]
Mobb stands out in the crowded AppSec space by prioritizing remediation over detection:
Mobb rides the AI-for-security wave amid exploding DevSecOps demand, where shift-left security integrates AppSec earlier in CI/CD pipelines to counter rising code vulnerabilities in cloud-native apps.[3] Timing is ideal: post-2021 supply chain attacks and AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot) amplify insecure code generation, while regulations like GDPR/CCPA mandate faster fixes; Mobb's "Vibe Shield" secures AI-generated code, unlocking productivity.[2] Market tailwinds include a $10B+ AppSec sector growing 20%+ annually, scanner fatigue, and partnerships enabling ecosystem complementarity rather than competition.[3] It influences the landscape by pioneering auto-remediation standards, reducing mean-time-to-fix from weeks to minutes, and fostering collaborative security cultures across global enterprises.[2][3]
Mobb is poised to dominate AI-driven AppSec remediation, expanding from software vulns to infrastructure and AI-generated code fixes, potentially capturing share in a backlog-plagued market.[3] Trends like generative AI proliferation, zero-trust mandates, and autonomous DevOps will propel growth, with its seed-stage momentum suggesting Series A soon and broader scanner integrations. Its influence could evolve from niche innovator to ecosystem standard-setter, humanizing security by empowering devs—transforming Mobb from backlog-buster to indispensable AI coding guardian in enterprise pipelines.[2][3]
