About OX Security

 

OX Security was founded in 2021 by Neatsun Ziv and Lior Arzi, both former leaders at Check Point. The company began with a mission to fix a growing problem in modern software development: security was always one step behind. As development moved faster, traditional tools that relied on detection could no longer keep up. OX built a prevention-first approach that protects software from code to cloud, covering every stage of the development lifecycle.

In 2025, OX launched VibeSec, the first AI-native security platform designed for the new era of AI-generated code. VibeSec prevents vulnerabilities before they ever exist by embedding real-time, organisation-specific security context directly into AI coding tools such as Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf. This ensures that code is secure from the moment it is created rather than scanned after deployment.

The journey to this point was not simple. The team had to challenge a decade of industry thinking built on the idea of shifting security left. That model assumed developers would slow down to fix problems after they appeared, but AI changed everything. Developers now generate weeks of code in a single day, and traditional security simply cannot match that speed. OX recognised this gap early and rebuilt the foundation of application security to meet the AI age.

OX also faced the challenge of unifying the fragmented security landscape. Many companies rely on multiple tools for scanning, cloud posture, and vulnerability management. OX brought all of these capabilities together in a single platform, mapping findings from developer environments through to runtime and production. Its prioritisation engine uses runtime context, environment mapping, and AI-driven analysis to highlight what matters most, reducing noise and eliminating endless backlogs.

Today, OX is one of the fastest growing companies in application and product security, serving hundreds of organisations worldwide from Fortune 500 enterprises to high growth technology firms. IBM and Microsoft both trust and have invested in OX. Recognised by Gartner, IDC, and Frost and Sullivan, OX has received more than twenty global innovation awards for its impact on advancing the security industry.

The company’s influence extends beyond technology. OX introduced a new way of thinking about security in the AI era, one where prevention replaces detection, where security enables velocity instead of blocking it, and where organizations can finally achieve both speed and safety. With VibeSec, OX has proven that security can move as fast as code creation and that prevention first will become the standard for any company developing software at AI speed.

OX Security continues to drive this transformation, redefining what modern security looks like and proving that in the world of AI driven development, shift left is dead and prevention first is what comes next.
