"Threat modeling is the cornerstone of secure software design, and Devici's intuitive, diagram-centric- approach fits seamlessly into our vision of Security by Design," said Rohit Sethi, CEO of Security Compass. "By integrating Devici's innovative technology, we're empowering security and development teams with scalable threat modeling that aligns with their workflows, ultimately accelerating secure application delivery."
Founded by renowned application security expert Chris Romeo, Devici is reshaping how teams approach threat modeling-making it accessible, actionable, and integrated across the software development lifecycle. Romeo, who will join Security Compass as Vice President, Devici, brings over 25 years of experience in security and is widely recognized for his work in building security champion programs and advancing threat modeling best practices.
"This acquisition unlocks tremendous potential," said Chris Romeo. "Security Compass shares our deep commitment to empowering software teams through scalable, secure design practices. Together, we're raising the bar for what modern threat modeling can look like-and delivering tools people actually want to use."
The addition of Devici underscores Security Compass's continued investment in building comprehensive, developer-centric security solutions and builds on last year's acquisition of Kontra, an application security training product. With SD Elements offering automated security requirements and compliance workflows and Devici enabling intuitive diagrammatic threat modeling, organizations can now integrate secure design earlier and more effectively than ever before.
