Cybersecurity startup Gambit Security has raised $56 million in a new funding round. The round was led by Kleiner Perkins, Spark Capital, and Cyberstarts. This comes just one year after the company raised $5 million in its Seed round.
The company was started in 2024 by Alon Gromakov (CEO), Sa’ar Elias (CPO), and May Kogan (CTO).
All three worked for several years in Israel’s elite Unit 8200 and won Israel Defense Awards for their work. After leaving the military, they joined cybersecurity startup Sentra as some of its first employees.
Gambit Security now has around 60 employees—40 in Israel and 10 in the U.S.. The new funding will help the company build products faster, work more closely with companies around the world, and hire more people in research, development, and sales.
“We come from Unit 8200’s research and cyber units, and we understood that developing a product that only prevents attacks does not solve the problem,” he said. “The environment is constantly changing. We assume that an attacker will eventually succeed or that a failure will occur in the cloud. Organizations need to be able to continue operating even after an attack.”

Lior Simon, Managing Partner at Cyberstarts, which led the Seed investment in the company, said: “From the moment we invested in Gambit at its early stage, we recognized that the team was tackling a challenge that is redefining the entire market. Their deep understanding of the field allows them to drive a fundamental shift in how organizations address evolving threats in a constantly changing environment, rather than relying on static defense systems. This is the kind of transformation that is reshaping how organizations protect their continuity and revenues, especially in an era when AI is changing the face of cyber.”
