Crash Override

Crash Override is a software supply chain security company building a control plane for software development in the agentic era. It monitors code from developers and AI coding agents, inspects builds across CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins), cryptographically tags software artifacts, and tracks them from development through production. The company delivers its capabilities primarily through open-source tools — Chalk (code provenance tagging) and Ocular (Kubernetes-native software asset scanning orchestration) — plus a hosted control plane with enterprise SAML 2.0, OIDC, and SCIM support. Founded by Mark Curphey (founder of OWASP) and John Viega, and backed by GV, Syn Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Blackstone. Philosophy: "Tag. Track. Trust." No public REST API or OpenAPI specification is published at this time; this profile was enriched from the company's public web, GitHub org, and security surface.

Crash Override is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cybersecurity, Software Supply Chain, Application Security, and Provenance.

Crash Override’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, support, and 11 more developer resources.
