Patent-pending technology allows organizations to significantly reduce security backlogs and free developers to focus on innovation

BOSTON, April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Mobb, the trusted automatic vulnerability fixer, today announced it has raised $5.4M in seed funding led by Angel Investor Ariel Maislos and joined by MizMaa Ventures, Cyber Club London and additional investors from US, EU, and Israel.

It is no surprise that over two-thirds of SAST reported findings remain open three months after detection, and 50% remain open after 363 days.
