Cognition acquires AI-native security company Corridor, folding its team into Devin Security

Background and pain point

Coding agents keep generating code faster, but security review is not keeping up: vulnerabilities, leaked secrets and dependency risks can ship to production along with AI-written code. Cognition, the maker of the AI software engineer Devin, already works on Devin Security. On Oct 29, the official @cognition account announced that it is acquiring Corridor, calling the security of the world's software the most important problem in technology today.

How it works

According to a post on Cognition's official blog by Corridor co-founders Jack Cable and Ashwin Ramaswami, Corridor was founded almost two years ago to accelerate secure and autonomous software development and has become the security layer for AI-native teams. After joining, the team will take Devin Security to the next level and work with Cognition President Russell Kaplan, one of Corridor's earliest advisors, CSO Alex Stamos and CTO Steven Hao. The post argues that AI agents can now execute end-to-end attack chains, defenders need new tools, and companies must address longstanding security debt now.

Benchmarks and results

Not published. Deal terms, Corridor's customer numbers and detection results were not disclosed.

For developers

So far only the acquisition itself has been announced, with no word on migration, pricing or retirement of Corridor's product. Teams using Corridor should watch for official follow-up notices, and Devin users can watch for Devin Security updates. Whatever tool you use, keep independent security scanning and human review on agent-generated PRs instead of relying only on the agent that wrote the code.
