About us
Our team
The team at Watchpoint Labs is made up of experienced software and security professionals who share a core belief: securing software should start early—and it shouldn’t be complicated. With a strong track record of building and scaling systems, the team is building a developer-focused suite of security tools designed to integrate seamlessly into the development process. Our mission is to remove the need for fragmented solutions and multiple vendors, so engineering teams can focus on building, and customers can have confidence in the security of the software they use.
