ISRAELI cybersecurity startup Gambit Security has emerged from stealth mode with $61 million in combined seed and Series A funding from Cyberstarts, Kleiner Perkins, and Spark Capital. Tel Aviv-based Gambit has built an AI-powered resilience platform that maps organisations’ environments, security products, and backup tools to uncover security gaps and validate recovery paths in real time.
According to Gambit, its solution can identify recoverability risks emerging from the lack of resilience against ransomware attacks, despite extensive backup coverage and security measures. Gambit’s platform continuously measures the organisation’s resilience against evolving threats, enabling remediation and recovery, and ensuring business continuity.
The startup says it can help organisations improve recovery readiness beyond cyberattacks, tackling critical system failures and technical disruptions, and it will use the funding to accelerate platform development and expand its sales and customer success teams, while deepening partnerships. “Resilience and restoration are core to a strong security posture and incident recovery,” according to Kleiner Perkins partner Ilya Fushman.
