Artificial intelligence is transforming how software is built, allowing developers to write, test, and deploy applications at unprecedented speed. Tools capable of generating code, suggesting fixes, and automating development tasks are rapidly becoming part of everyday engineering workflows. While this shift is helping organisations accelerate innovation, it is also creating a new challenge: ensuring software remains secure as development cycles move faster than traditional security processes can keep up. Swedish cybersecurity startup Oplane is tackling this growing problem with a platform designed specifically for the age of AI assisted coding.
The Malmö based company has secured €4.5 million in seed funding to expand its security platform and support its growth across Europe. The round was led by Seed Capital, with participation from angel investors Emil Eifrem, Robert Lagerström, Joakim Nydrén, and existing investor Icebreaker.vc.
The funding arrives at a time when enterprises are increasingly adopting AI coding assistants to boost productivity, creating new demands for security solutions that can keep pace with rapidly evolving development environments.
Addressing Security Challenges in AI Driven Development
Founded by Emil Kvarnhammar, Oscar Andersson, and Anders Söderling, Oplane is developing an agentic security platform aimed at software teams building applications with the assistance of artificial intelligence.
As AI generated code becomes more common, organisations are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain traditional security practices. Manual threat modelling, architecture reviews, and security assessments often struggle to keep up with the speed at which modern applications are being developed and updated.
Oplane’s platform is designed to close this gap by integrating security directly into the software development lifecycle.
Embedding Security Into Developer Workflows
Rather than treating security as a separate review process that takes place after development, Oplane focuses on embedding security into existing engineering workflows.
The platform automatically maps software architecture, analyses codebases, and identifies system level security requirements throughout the development process.
By continuously evaluating applications as they evolve, Oplane helps teams uncover potential weaknesses before they become exploitable vulnerabilities.
The system also provides contextual remediation recommendations, allowing developers to address issues directly within their existing tools and workflows.
Combining Automation With Expert Threat Modelling
One of Oplane’s key differentiators is its ability to combine automated analysis with expert level threat modelling principles.
Threat modelling has traditionally required specialised security expertise and significant manual effort. Oplane automates much of this process, enabling engineering teams to apply security best practices without slowing development.
As software environments become increasingly complex and AI generated code expands the volume of applications being created, automated security analysis is becoming an essential component of modern software development strategies.
The company believes security should evolve alongside development rather than act as a bottleneck that delays product releases.
Growing Adoption Across Engineering Teams
Oplane has already begun working with a growing customer base and is actively conducting pilot projects with additional organisations.
The company reports increasing interest from software development teams seeking ways to manage security risks associated with AI powered coding environments.
As businesses adopt more AI tools across engineering operations, the need for security platforms capable of understanding both application architecture and development workflows is expected to increase significantly.
Expanding Across Europe
With the newly raised capital, Oplane plans to accelerate expansion throughout Europe while strengthening integrations with leading AI coding platforms.
The company intends to deepen connections with widely used tools including Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, allowing security insights to be delivered directly where developers work.
In addition to product development, the funding will support hiring across engineering, cybersecurity, quality assurance, and commercial teams.
As AI continues reshaping software development, Oplane is positioning itself as a critical security layer for organisations building the next generation of applications. By embedding intelligent security capabilities directly into AI driven workflows, the company aims to help developers move faster without compromising on protection.
