AI-driven cloud risk remediation for security teams
ZEST Security automates vulnerability and misconfiguration resolution across AWS, GCP, and Azure using AI agents—shifting the operational model from ticket creation to automated closure. The stack (Node.js, Nest.js, Python, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, CloudFormation) reflects a cloud-native, infrastructure-as-code approach. With 7 open roles split between engineering, sales, and security but zero postings in the last 30 days, the company appears to be in stealth hiring mode while ramping product and sales pipeline.
ZEST Security, founded in 2023 and based in New York City, builds an Agentic Exposure Management platform designed to resolve cloud security risks automatically. The product focuses on mapping vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to remediation pathways across major cloud providers, then executing fixes at scale via AI agents rather than manual ticketing workflows. The platform integrates with cloud infrastructure tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes) and security intelligence services (Wiz, CrowdStrike). The company operates with a lean, distributed team across the US and Israel, with active work spanning product launches, cloud security research, and early-stage sales pipeline building.
ZEST integrates with AWS, GCP, and Azure. The stack includes Terraform and CloudFormation for infrastructure automation across those three major cloud providers.
