Democratizing security: The next step in Sqreen’s journey

Everything started in 2015, when Jb and I left Apple to co-found Sqreen, with a singular vision to democratize security. 

Our belief then, as it is now, is that a strong security posture can only exist when security is infused across the software development lifecycle; when it is not just the concern of security teams, but of developers and operations teams as well. 

We’ve already come so far on this journey, growing from a small startup in Paris to a global company distributed across the world, protecting thousands of applications and web properties. And we are just getting started!

I’m excited to share that we have joined Datadog, the industry-leading monitoring and security platform for cloud applications.

Datadog and Sqreen have a shared belief that modern enterprises must embrace DevSecOps to deliver on the agility and security that their customers demand. Together, we will accelerate organizations’ journeys to realizing this vision by providing a single, unified platform that serves the needs of engineering, security, and operations teams. 

The last five years have variously been the most exciting, intense, tiring, and, most of all, fulfilling of my career—and it’s the partnership that we’ve built with our 800+ customers that has made this journey so worthwhile. I would like to thank all of them for their support and for the opportunity to work together. We have built a tremendous product together, and are looking forward to building much more!

I would also like to thank the 100+ Sqreeners and “#forever Sqreeners,” as well as our investors, family, and friends, who have supported us on this journey. Jb and I could not be more grateful and humbled that you decided to join us—we will carry these memories with us always.

We can’t wait to get started on Sqreen’s next chapter and to share what’s to come on our journey to democratize application security!
