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 organizations’ 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 organization’s resilience against evolving threats, enabling remediation and recovery, and ensuring business continuity.
The startup says it can help organizations improve recovery readiness beyond cyberattacks, tackling critical system failures and technical disruptions.
Additionally, the solution helps organizations eliminate duplicate and stale backups, thus hardening recovery plans and reducing costs.
Gambit will use the new funding to accelerate its platform’s development and to expand its sales and customer success teams. It will also invest in deepening partnerships.
“Resilience and restoration are core to a strong security posture and incident recovery”, said Kleiner Perkins partner Ilya Fushman.
“Gambit turns data resilience from a clunky and uncertain manual process centered on backups into an automated and AI-powered capability that gives CISOs and IT leaders confidence and a platform to understand and automate recovery,” Fushman added.
Along with the funding announcement, Gambit released a report detailing how a threat actor has abused Anthropic’s Claude Code assistant to mount an automated attack against Mexican government agencies.
