MEET OUR TEAM
C2A Security is the only DevSecOps Platform vendor that addresses the specific needs of car makers and mobility companies.
Founded in 2016, C2A Security transforms cybersecurity from being a company-wide limitation to a business value multiplier, through advanced security automation and compliance, to shorten software release times and decrease costs.
Our vision is to turn product security into a seamless, automated, and transparent process, reducing time to deployment and costs of managing automotive software products and resources.
