[Seattle Inno] seattle tech quote of the week “Security engineers are used to reasoning with roots of trust by using two-factor authentication and identification systems and establishing trust with hardware by using encryption keys. But we don’t have that for source code and software artifacts today. Our vision is to connect these roots of trust throughout the development lifecycle and across the software supply chain and give developers and CISOs alike confidence in the code they’re running in production and the integrity of their systems.” — Dan Lorenc, co-founder and CEO of Chainguard Chainguard raised $50M . The Kirkland-based cybersecurity firm helps safeguard companies from software supply chain attacks by tracking and verifying who produced an artifact in the code. The Series A round, led by Sequoia Capital and joined by Mantis VC, was preceded by a $5 million seed round last year. [Built In Seattle] Smart product developer Mason hired Brian Hook as CTO . Like Mason’s CEO Nancy Xiao, Hook previously worked at Oculus.
