Sym：获融$9M 安全工作流平台

【201021 BuiltinBoston】Sym, a Boston-based startup that has created a new security workflow platform for engineers, announced Tuesday it closed on a $9 million Series A round led by Amplify Partners, bringing its total funding raised to $12 million.

【谷歌翻译 未经校对】总部位于波士顿的初创公司Sym已为工程师创建了一个新的安全工作流平台，该公司周二宣布已完成由Amplify Partners牵头的900万美元A轮融资，使其总融资额达到了1200万美元。

Co-founders Yasyf Mohamedali, Adam Buggia and Jon Bass all met when Mohamedali was a freshman at MIT — Buggia and Bass were his managers during a summer internship at Localytics. Mohamedali later went on to be the CTO of healthtech company Karuna Health, which is where he got the idea for Sym. He reached back out to Buggia and Bass to help him form the new company.

穆罕默德利（Mohamedali）是麻省理工学院的新生时，联合创始人Yasyf Mohamedali，Adam Buggia和Jon Bass都曾见过面-Buggia和Bass是他在Localytics暑期实习期间的经理。后来，穆罕默德利（Mohamedali）成为医疗技术公司Karuna Health的首席技术官，在那里他想到了Sym。他联系了Buggia和Bass来帮助他组建新公司。

“When Jon, Adam and I sat down to build Sym, we wanted to solve a very simple problem: every engineering org we know in a heavily regulated space was building the same damn tooling. Coming from healthcare and enterprise SaaS, we’d seen permutations of the same few workflows time and time again throughout our careers,” Mohamedali wrote in a recent blog post. “The crazy thing was, these seemed to be ubiquitous across companies, compliance standards, even industries...So we came up with a crazy idea: what if we just build all this stuff once, and put it out in the world for everyone to use.”

“当乔恩，亚当和我坐下来建造Sym时，我们想解决一个非常简单的问题：我们认识的每一个在严格监管的空间中的工程组织都在建造相同的工具。来自医疗保健和企业SaaS的软件，我们在整个职业生涯中一次又一次看到相同工作流程的排列，” Mohamedali在最近的博客文章中写道。“疯狂的事情是，这些似乎在公司，合规标准甚至行业中无处不在……所以我们想到了一个疯狂的主意：如果我们只制造一次所有这些东西，然后将其发布给所有人，该怎么办？使用。”

Over time they realized that, while everyone’s workflows weren’t exactly identical, they did have many similarities. They found that, most of the time, different teams often start out with a similar core, but then add layers of customizations on top of that.

随着时间的流逝，他们意识到，尽管每个人的工作流程都不完全相同，但它们确实有很多相似之处。他们发现，大多数情况下，不同的团队通常以相似的核心开始，然后在其之上添加自定义层。

Now, Sym offers these core tools and lets users mix and match what they need. This approach allows developers to create the workflows and integrations they need using minimal code, which also gives them control over security.

现在，Sym提供了这些核心工具，并允许用户混合和匹配他们的需求。这种方法允许开发人员使用最少的代码创建所需的工作流和集成，这也使他们可以控制安全性。

As the number of cybersecurity threats rise, engineering teams are under more and more pressure to shore up security in their software access, creation and deployment, which usually means they can’t work as quickly as they would like. Sym’s platform contains dozens of pre-built templates that can translate common security policies into code and pre-integrate into common developer technology stacks. This means users can maintain the integrity of what they build without slowing the pace of development.

随着网络安全威胁数量的增加，工程团队承受着越来越大的压力来提高其软件访问，创建和部署的安全性，这通常意味着他们无法如愿以偿地工作。Sym的平台包含数十种预构建的模板，这些模板可以将常见的安全策略转换为代码，并可以预先集成到常见的开发人员技术堆栈中。这意味着用户可以在不减慢开发速度的情况下保持其构建的完整性。

“The tension between rapid software delivery and managing cyberthreats is widening the gap between information security and engineering teams,” Sunil Dhaliwal, a general partner at Amplify Partners, said in a statement. “We backed Sym because they empower both development and infosec teams to bridge that divide.”

Amplify Partners的普通合伙人Sunil Dhaliwal在一份声明中说：“快速软件交付与管理网络威胁之间的紧张关系正在扩大信息安全与工程团队之间的差距。” “我们之所以支持Sym，是因为它们授权开发团队和信息安全团队共同弥合这种鸿沟。”

Now, with $9 million of fresh funding in its pocket, Sym can continue developing its platform, which is still in beta. The company is also working on growing its engineering team, with open positions at its offices in San Francisco and Boston.

现在，有了900万美元的新资金，Sym可以继续开发其平台，该平台仍处于测试阶段。该公司还致力于发展其工程团队，并在旧金山和波士顿的办事处设有空缺职位。

“Our journey is just starting,” Mohamedali said. “We’re imagining a world where engineering and security teams work in tandem to define and easily roll out constantly-evolving controls, and won’t rest until we’ve delivered the tools to make this world a reality.”

“我们的旅程才刚刚开始，”穆罕默德利说。“我们正在想象一个世界，工程和安全团队将协同工作，以定义并轻松推出不断发展的控件，直到我们提供了使这个世界成为现实的工具，我们才会休息。”
