Akeero, operating as useunravel.com, is a cybersecurity firm founded in 2020 by Ciarán O'Keeffe, Anthi Gilligan, and Stuart Cameron. The company is headquartered in Cork, Ireland, and was established by experienced security architects to address the growing complexity of cloud security.
The firm targets the cloud-native development market, serving DevOps, product, and security teams. Its business model is centered on a subscription-based service for its automated security design platform. This platform aims to reduce threat identification time significantly by allowing teams to automate the discovery of security requirements for their cloud infrastructure before writing any code.
Akeero's core product is a canvas-based infrastructure designer for Amazon Web Services (AWS). It provides a visual, collaborative, real-time editor where developers can design their application architecture. The platform generates deployable Code (CDK) in Typescript, identifies resources within Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files, and creates an editable diagram. This process helps teams find and fix cloud infrastructure misconfigurations early in the software development lifecycle. Key features include integration with tools like Jira and diagramming software such as Draw.io and Lucidchart, a library of pre-built templates, and the ability to provide mitigating controls for identified threats.
In July 2021, Akeero secured $1.2 million in a pre-seed funding round. The round was led by Frontline Ventures and included participation from Trusight Ventures, Tiny VC, Capitoria, and Oyster Capital Investments. This financing was intended to accelerate product development, increase market penetration, and expand its engineering and operations staff.
