This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Aug. 26, 2026Clover Security is on a mission to enable both humans and AI to build secure-by-design software, at scale, without slowing down innovation.
The startup, founded in 2023, with offices in Tel Aviv and New York City, empowers product security teams with design-led AI agents that plug into the tools they already use, enabling secure design, secure agentic development, and continuous validation, without slowing builders down.
Clover is already deployed at dozens of companies across banking, enterprise technology, and fintech, including Fortune 500 companies.
“As a product security leader, my biggest challenge has always been scale,” said Iain Mulholland, Cloud CISO at Google Cloud and an advisor to Clover. “There are never enough security engineers. Clover’s design-led approach to product security really excites me because it directly tackles that challenge.”
Cybercrime Magazine met with Clover at Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas earlier this month. Their co-founder and CEO, Alon Kollmann, showed us how product security pays off.

The SOC we’ve always known was built around a model that guarantees most of the alert queue will never receive analyst review. There’s never time. In a traditional SOC, the typical progression follows a well-known pattern: an alert arrives; a detection engine assigns a severity score. The issue then waits for a human to decide if it should escalate to an investigation. Given the volume of
