I'm impressed by this cybersecurity startup from YC W22! I'm wondering if they've secured any significant customers or had any major successes already?

  I understand they have a few impressive clients on their roster, but not willing to disclose any names due to confidentiality agreements. That's actually a good sign, I think.

Are they open-sourcing any of their code/repositories or contributing to open-source cybersecurity projects? How are their developer relations?

  According to their founder, they don't have any open-source projects as of now since their primary focus is to develop proprietary security tools. But they are planning to create a bug bounty program soon.
