Cybersecurity unicorn Pentera, known for its security validation technology, has acquired DevOcean, an AI-powered platform that helps manage and fix security issues. The goal of the deal is to connect the process of finding cyber vulnerabilities with actually fixing them. The deal is worth about $30 million, with half paid in cash and half in Pentera shares.
Pentera, which has over 400 employees, will add DevOcean’s 12-member team to its operations. DevOcean, founded in 2021, has raised $11.25 million so far.
Pentera, founded in 2018, has raised around $250 million in total and was valued at over $1 billion in its latest 2025 funding round.
“Security teams are overwhelmed by an ocean of vulnerability findings, and struggle to focus on real cyber exposure and remediate it in a timely manner,” said Amitai Ratzon, CEO of Pentera. “With the addition of DevOcean, Pentera is leading the convergence of validation and remediation – enabling customers to find and fix issues with a greater degree of automation while leveraging AI.”
DevOcean was founded in 2021 by Doron Naim (CEO) and Gil Makmel (CTO), both former CyberArk experts with deep experience in building enterprise security products.
The company’s platform, which will now be part of Pentera’s AI-powered tools, helps analyze and organize security findings across an organization’s entire system. This allows teams to focus on the most serious threats first.
It also adds useful context to alerts, finds the main causes of issues, and assigns tasks to the right team members. At the same time, it tracks progress to make sure everything meets compliance and service-level standards.
“Our mission has always been to make remediation smarter, faster, and more accountable,” said Doron Naim, CEO of DevOcean. “Together with Pentera, we’re closing the gap between validation and action, giving customers a unique solution to identify and resolve proven risks while reducing operational costs.”
