Israeli AI Cybersecurity Startup Gambit Security Raises $61M Seed Funding to Boost Ransomware Resilience

Tel Aviv-based Gambit Security has emerged from stealth mode after securing $61 million in seed and Series A funding.

The substantial investment was led by top-tier venture capital firms Spark Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and Cyberstarts.

Elite Founders from Israel's Unit 8200

The company was founded in 2024 by veterans of Israel's elite IDF Unit 8200, including CEO Alon Gromakov, CPO Sa’ar Elias, and CTO May Kogan.

These founders previously contributed to cybersecurity innovations at startup Sentra, bringing deep expertise in cyber research and defense.

Revolutionary AI-Native Resilience Platform

Gambit Security's AI platform autonomously maps enterprise infrastructure, security tools, and backups to identify gaps in recovery plans.

It continuously measures resilience against evolving threats like ransomware, enabling early remediation and rapid recovery to ensure business continuity.

Beyond cyberattacks, the platform addresses system failures and technical disruptions, helping organizations minimize downtime and financial losses.

Early adopters report at least 10% reductions in cloud storage costs through detection of duplicate and outdated backups.

Research reveals only 5% of enterprise systems are truly resilient to ransomware impacts, highlighting the critical need for Gambit's solution.

With rising global cyberattacks, including recent AI-assisted hacks compromising millions of records, demand for proactive resilience is surging.

The funding will accelerate product development, expand sales teams, and forge deeper partnerships with global enterprises.

CEO Alon Gromakov emphasized that traditional security races are unwinnable, positioning Gambit to set new standards in real-time enterprise resilience.
