Security operations centres have a staffing problem that headcount cannot solve, and investors just put $34M behind one attempt to automate it.
Mave, founded in 2025 by Raziel Oren and Guy Eshel, met in Unit 8200, Israel’s signals intelligence formation. Its agents read across a company’s existing security stack, investigate alerts, discard false positives and take actions a human team has approved.
The money breaks into a $28M Series A led by Red Dot Capital Partners with Lumir Growth Partners, plus a $6M seed raised earlier. The 30-person company will spend part of it on go-to-market hires and AI research.
Agents under scrutiny
Chief executive Oren compares the job to a guard watching live camera feeds, and argues the discipline’s underlying tooling has not kept pace with threats that now arrive at machine speed and scale. Autonomy carries its own risk, which is why Mave’s pitch leans on traceability: each workflow is logged step by step so operators can see why an agent acted.
Pricing is a flat fee scaled to company size, and competitors include Dropzone and Prophet Security. Trust is the gating factor, with buyers needing time before handing investigations to software.
The climate helps the sale. Enterprises now explain on earnings calls how they defend against rogue agents, and researchers are using AI to find flaws faster than vendors patch them.
