Cybersecurity company Remedio (previously known as GYTPOL) has built a platform that helps businesses see all the risks in their computer settings and automatically fix them.
The company recently raised $65 million in its first-ever funding round since being founded. It was co-founded by Tal Kollender, who was once a teenage hacker and also served in Israel’s cyber unit.
The $65 million investment was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with TLV Partners and Picture Capital also taking part.
Along with the funding, the company changed its name to Remedio. The name combines “Remedy,” meaning to fix problems, and “Remediation,” which highlights how the platform automatically repairs computer issues.
After running profitably for six years without outside funding, Remedio will now use the new money to grow into more markets, strengthen its position in the United States, and speed up the creation of its next generation of security tools.
In this funding round, the company was valued at $300 million.
“We founded the company because we saw a fundamental flaw in organizations’ security systems, configuration errors that allow silent intrusion into systems,” said Tal Kollender, CEO of Remedio. “We built a profitable business on our own and watched it grow rapidly as we built trust with our customers, without raising a dollar. But now, with momentum from global enterprise customers and a product that’s proven its value, it’s time to scale.”
Kollender added: “The entire fundraising will go into the company’s coffers. We had offers in the past but declined them. At a certain point, a very good offer came from Bessemer, which understood my vision. We have been profitable from day one, and the timing was perfect. We received many offers but limited the investment amount to ensure we build the next big thing in this world.”
Kollender explained the rationale behind the name change: “We changed the company’s name because we handle every problem and fix it without any impact on users. Today, organizations face a great need to comply with standards. Many companies create their own standards or policies, and we provide a tool that works seamlessly for them. Unlike traditional IT update systems controlled by IT teams which cannot always predict the impact of updates, our platform identifies potential risks and performs autonomous repairs, including full rollback capabilities. This is our unique advantage.”
Remedio’s technology allows companies to manage the security of their devices in real time. The platform uses AI to automatically find and fix problems in system settings on any device or operating system. This keeps systems secure, compliant, and protected from hackers — without needing manual work or interrupting daily operations.
Unlike traditional security tools that only send alerts, Remedio actually fixes the issues. The platform can be used as a cloud service or installed on-site, even in isolated networks, which makes it a good fit for sensitive industries like healthcare and security.
“To scale our sales and operations worldwide, we will temporarily reduce profitability, but the goal is to grow rapidly and sustainably,” Kollender added.
Remedio was founded by Tal Kollender along with Gilad Raz, who previously started Digital Fuel (later bought by VMware), and Yakov Kogan, a former academic researcher who also co-founded Digital Fuel with Raz. The team includes veterans from intelligence units as well as experienced cybersecurity and IT experts, working from Israel, the United States, and Europe.
