Cider Security raised $38 million USD in a series A funding round to bring its services to a wider breadth of users. Cider Security focuses on improving security throughout the entire software development life cycle (SDLC). The application helps users identify [security risks in code development](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-vulnerability-detection), application deployment, and the overall environment of the application. Cider Security is intended to provide end-to-end security recognition and [threat prevention support](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scamminder) for the back-end of an application. The application was created to address several trends in application security, such as how 45% of vulnerabilities are discovered too late, 48% of developers push potentially vulnerable code, and 54% of developers push incomplete code due to time constraints. Cider Security will ideally, help developers address security issues without losing precious time.
