Our Mission
To bridge the gap between intent and infrastructure. We believe security should be automated, invisible, and "Day 0"—not a cleanup task for "Day 2".
The Challenge
Cloud infrastructure is broken and expensive. As organizations scale across multi-cloud environments, they face a critical "Day 0" gap where speed compromises security. 82% of enterprises suffered security incidents due to cloud misconfigurations this year, with an average breach cost of $5.1M.
Bugz bridges this gap by serving as an intelligent intermediary that takes human intent and converts it into battle-tested, audit-ready infrastructure code. We eliminate misconfigurations at the source, accelerate deployment from days to minutes, and ensure continuous compliance out of the box.
