Cybersecurity startup BlinkOps has raised $50 million in a Series B funding round. The round was led by O.G. Venture Partners, with support from Vertex Growth, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Hetz Ventures.
BlinkOps builds a platform using small, specialized security tools called “Security Micro Agents.” With this new funding, the company has now raised a total of $90 million.
BlinkOps was founded in 2021 by Gil Barak (the CEO) and Zion Zatlavi. Before this, they started another company called Secdo, which was bought by Palo Alto Networks for $100 million in 2018.
BlinkOps CEO Gil Barak explained the company’s vision: “We founded the company to enable modern automation for all areas of cybersecurity. Fortunately, we started in 2021 and grew in parallel with advances in artificial intelligence. Most cybersecurity solutions rely on a single, large agent that tries to do everything and ends up doing nothing particularly well. We realized there was a better way: build a large-scale operations platform that supports thousands of small, specialized agents, each focused on doing one thing extremely well.”
BlinkOps offers a tool called the Security Micro-Agents Builder, which helps teams create small, task-specific security tools. These micro-agents can handle jobs like managing identity access, investigating alerts, fixing security holes, managing devices, and more.
The micro-agents can also work together and share information to manage more complex tasks. The BlinkOps platform includes over 30,000 integrations, 10,000 workflow templates, and more than 500 ready-to-use security agents.
Some of the world’s largest companies in different industries are already using the BlinkOps platform to improve their cybersecurity operations.
The company has around 100 employees, with half of the team based in Israel and the other half in the United States.
