Perfai

    Toward a comprehensive
    AppSec solution.

    We've spent a decade building security tools developers actually use. Perfai Security is the culmination — autonomous agents that plan, test, and remediate so your team can ship without flinching.

    The Arc

    From security-as-code to fully autonomous defense.

    Every chapter taught us something the next one needed. We didn't arrive at autonomous AppSec — we walked there, deliberately.

    1. 2013

      A decade in enterprise tooling

      Our journey began over a decade ago in the trenches of enterprise app software, building the infrastructure modern teams take for granted.

    2. 2016

      Launching DCHQ

      Our first venture redefined how teams managed containerized workloads at scale — laying the groundwork for everything that followed.

    3. 2019

      Founding APIsec

      We pioneered Security-as-a-Code with a Data-Driven Test Language, dramatically simplifying API security testing for thousands of teams.

    4. 2022

      Standards for next-gen threats

      We helped lay the groundwork for testing AI-era threat categories — before the rest of the industry caught on.

    5. 2024

      Rethinking the entire loop

      Reducing developer effort wasn't enough. The real opportunity: a fully autonomous solution that plans, tests, and reports without human babysitting.

    6. 2025

      Perfai Security goes live

      Agents that learn your AI-built apps, run continuously, surface real risks, and ship the fix — so security keeps pace with how fast you ship.

    The Operators

    It's all about
    the people.

    Practitioners, researchers, and founders who have shipped security tools at every scale.
