Security is one thing. Managing that security is another.Sqreen provides application security with an emphasis on managing the security process and how it is applied. Sqreen uses a "micro agent" to automatically monitor sensitive app routines, block attacks, and report actionable information to a security dashboard.

One of the benefits Sqreen describes is the service's ability to be deployed by either a security or software development group without the hands-on involvement of the other. And according to the company, its solution protects applications against threats ranging from SQL injection and critical data exposure to misconfiguration errors.

Sqreen was founded in 2018. It has received three rounds of funding totaling $18.2 million to date, in two rounds of seed funding, and a $14 million Series A round led by Greylock Partners.
