Bright Security (formerly NeuraLegion) provides a developer-first DAST platform that integrates into CI/CD pipelines to test web applications and APIs for vulnerabilities, with the company claiming under 3% false positives and up to 98% automated remediation guidance. Unlike legacy DAST tools designed for post-deployment security review, Bright is built to run earlier in the development lifecycle so findings reach developers before code ships.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Rafael, California, Bright raised a $30 million Series A in May 2025 to expand its AI-driven scanning and auto-fix capabilities for applications, APIs, and AI-generated code. The company positions itself against noisy, expert-only legacy DAST tools by prioritizing developer usability and low false-positive rates.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Rebranded from NeuraLegion and has continued to extend DAST into API and AI-generated-code testing, backed by a fresh 2025 raise.
Low reported false-positive rate and CI/CD-native workflow reduce the alert fatigue that historically made DAST tools unpopular with developers.
$30M Series A in May 2025 and listings on Microsoft Marketplace and Gartner Peer Insights indicate real commercial traction. Recognized in Cyber Defense Media Group's 2026 Global InfoSec Awards (3 awards), independently juried industry validation of market traction.
DAST is a mature category; Bright's developer-first positioning is a meaningful improvement on delivery, not a new problem-solving paradigm.
The sub-3% false-positive figure is vendor-reported; Gartner Peer Insights reviews are the closest independent signal found.
Shifting security left into CI/CD and extending it to AI-generated code addresses where application risk is actually being introduced.
Why CISOs Should Care
Reduces the developer friction that causes DAST findings to get ignored, directly improving how much of an AppSec program actually gets remediated.
What Makes It Different
Purpose-built for CI/CD integration and low noise rather than retrofitted from a legacy, security-team-only scanning tool.
The Matrix Verdict
68/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A well-executed, developer-friendly DAST platform gaining real funding momentum in a mature but still-necessary category.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
False-positive and auto-remediation percentages are company-published figures.
