Tromzo is a technology company.
Tromzo offers a developer-first application security management platform designed to streamline security practices within the software development lifecycle. Its core product functions as a Product Security Operating Platform, aiming to reduce friction between development and security teams by integrating security measures naturally into existing workflows. The platform empowers application and product security teams to efficiently identify, prioritize, and remediate critical vulnerabilities, thereby enhancing overall software security.
The company was co-founded in early 2021 by Harshit Chitalia and Harshil Parikh. Parikh's insight stemmed from his experience leading security at Medallia, where he encountered significant challenges in scaling application security programs. Chitalia, having led engineering at Juniper Networks, recognized the inefficiency of security teams providing unprioritized lists of bugs. Their shared understanding of these pain points led them to create Tromzo, focusing on practical solutions for modern development environments.
Tromzo primarily serves application and product security teams, as well as developers, who are seeking to embed security more effectively into their development processes. The company’s overarching mission is to render security accessible, intuitive, and organic throughout the software development lifecycle. Looking ahead, Tromzo envisions a future where security seamlessly coexists with rapid development, fostering robust and secure software delivery at scale.

Tromzo is a cybersecurity startup that builds a Product Security Operating Platform (PSOP) focused on application security posture management (ASPM) and software supply chain protection.[1][2][3][4] The platform centralizes security findings from tools like SAST, DAST, SCA, CSPM, and CNAPP, using AI-powered triage, reachability analysis, and an intelligence graph to prioritize and automate remediation of high-risk vulnerabilities across code, cloud, and containers.[1][3] It serves technology companies and enterprises with complex software development lifecycles (SDLC), solving the friction between developers and security teams by providing a single source of truth for assets, ownership, business context, and risk—enabling faster patching, reduced noise, and measurable risk reduction.[1][2][3] Founded in 2021 and based in Mountain View, California, Tromzo has raised $11.1M total funding, including an $8M oversubscribed seed round in 2023, with strong momentum in customer acquisition, ARR growth, and feature adoption amid rising demand for risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM).[1][4]
Tromzo was founded in early 2021 by Harshit Chitalia and Harshil Parikh, both security practitioners who identified key pain points in application security.[2] Harshit led engineering teams at Juniper Networks, dealing with frustratingly unprioritized lists of security bugs from security teams.[2] Harshil, previously heading security at Medallia, struggled to scale application security programs amid rapid modern development.[2] Combining forces, they aimed to eliminate developer-security friction by empowering product security teams to focus on critical vulnerabilities.[2] Backed by over 25 leading CISOs who invested personally to bring the PSOP to market, Tromzo quickly gained traction, highlighted at RSAC 2024 as one of seven promising application security startups.[1][2]
Tromzo rides the explosive growth in application security and software supply chain security, driven by rising cyber threats, regulatory pressures (e.g., SBOM mandates), and the shift to cloud-native, microservices-heavy development.[1][3] Perfect timing aligns with the ASPM market's hyper-growth, where enterprises demand unified platforms to manage "alert fatigue" from fragmented scanners—ASOC (Application Security Orchestration and Correlation) adoption is accelerating as firms move to automated, data-driven programs.[1][3] Market forces like Log4j-style supply chain attacks and AI-enhanced threats favor Tromzo's risk-based approach, influencing the ecosystem by enabling dev-sec collaboration at scale and setting standards for intelligence-driven remediation.[1][2][3]
Tromzo is poised for rapid scaling, leveraging its recent executive hires, ARR acceleration, and product innovations to capture more ASPM/RBVM market share.[4] Upcoming trends like AI agents for autonomous remediation, deeper GenAI code analysis, and zero-trust SDLC integrations will amplify its edge, potentially positioning it as a category leader amid consolidating cybersecurity tools.[1][3] As supply chain risks intensify, Tromzo's influence could expand through partnerships with cloud platforms and scanners, evolving from startup to essential infrastructure for secure software delivery—echoing its founding mission to make security a natural dev ally.[2][3]
Tromzo has raised $11.1M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $8.0M Seed in August 2023.
