Mave Security Ltd. has raised $34 million to expand research into frontier artificial intelligence and build out its agentic security operations platform, the Israeli startup announced. The company sells software that connects an enterprise's existing security tools into a single system that carries an incident from the first alert through response, rather than requiring customers to copy their data into a central repository.
Mave argues that a central store, usually a security information and event management system, has been outrun by AI-driven attacks. Much of the context an analyst needs never reaches the SIEM at all, the company says, leaving analysts to search other consoles for configuration and identity details while an attack is underway. Chief Executive Raziel Oren said security teams still work threats one tool at a time, assembling evidence by hand before reaching a verdict, while attackers do not wait. Oren framed security operations as the starting point for a broader goal of making AI a responsible and accountable part of enterprise protection.
The platform is built on the premise that a skilled analyst with access to every security system could resolve most incidents given enough time. Mave queries each tool in its native language and reconciles the results into a single account of what happened. The company said every alert is investigated within minutes, false positives are discarded, and the system identifies any active campaign an alert appears to belong to, with response actions confined to rules the security team sets.
Customers include Fortune 50 companies and global managed security service providers that use Mave to protect hundreds of their own clients, and the platform also runs in regulated financial and health care environments. Mave said its software isolated systems and disabled compromised identities during several live attacks before they became breaches. Annual recurring revenue grew more than 400% over the past year, and the company said it is now closing seven-figure deals.
Oren and co-founder Guy Eshel, both veterans of the Israel Defense Forces Unit 8200, started the company in 2025. Oren previously led go-to-market at Wing Security Ltd., and Eshel was the first employee at fraud detection startup Alterya Inc., rising to vice president of research and development before Chainalysis Inc. acquired it in January 2025.
The $34 million combines two rounds. Red Dot Capital Partners led a $28 million Series A, with participation from Lumir Growth Partners, and Dell Technologies Capital and Emerge Ventures co-led a $6 million seed round. Atad Peled, a partner at Red Dot, said incumbent platforms and the startups that tried to replace them share a flaw: coverage is a budget decision rather than a security one, and neither group was built for a world run by AI agents. Besides frontier AI research, the funding will go toward Mave's enterprise products and a wider global presence, and the company plans to more than double its 20-person team, hiring mainly for go-to-market roles and AI researchers.
