Varsity Venture Studio announced today the launch of FitStack, a SaaS platform for application development teams to address the ongoing challenges in managing software supply chain security.

“In today’s environment, it’s essential for development teams to gain control, limit exposure and reduce overall risk,” FitStack Co-Founder Roger Cummings said in a statement. “FitStack is proactively driving security best practices into the earlier stages of the application development lifecycle.”

According to a release, the platform proactively identifies code and container vulnerability and configuration issues, shows developers the changes that have been made and ensures that modified applications will execute at runtime.

The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) licensed the technology to FitStack.

Varsity Venture Studio is a collaboration among the University of Wisconsin, WARF and venture builder High Alpha Innovation.
