DEBOS

DEBOS operates in the cybersecurity sector, specifically focusing on mitigating risks associated with open-source software. The company was founded by Daniel Fernández, a former Chief Technology Officer at Peoople, and Joaquín Mª López, who previously served as the Chief Operating Officer and a board member at an international bank. Their combined expertise in technology and corporate governance underpins the company's approach to software security.

The core of DEBOS's offering is a platform designed to provide visibility and control over the open-source components used in software development. It addresses the security vulnerabilities and licensing issues that can arise from third-party code dependencies, a common challenge for development teams. The platform functions by continuously monitoring a company's software projects, identifying potential security threats, and ensuring compliance with licensing requirements. This service is targeted at businesses that rely heavily on open-source libraries and frameworks to build their applications, helping them to manage their 'Software Bill of Materials' (SBOM) effectively.

The business model appears to be subscription-based, providing its software security services to other companies. DEBOS aims to streamline the process of identifying and fixing vulnerabilities within the development workflow, thereby reducing the manual effort required from security and development teams. By automating the detection of risks, the platform allows developers to address issues early in the development cycle.
