Gambit Security Raises $61M for AI-Native Cyber Resilience Platform

Israel-based Gambit Security has emerged from stealth mode with a $61 million funding round to launch its AI-native cyber resilience platform that autonomously maps infrastructure and helps enterprises maintain security across their entire technology stack.

The Tel Aviv-based company, founded less than 12 months ago, announced the combined seed and Series A funding led by venture capital firms with participation from strategic investors. While specific terms weren't disclosed, the substantial raise signals strong investor confidence in Gambit's approach to autonomous cybersecurity.

Gambit's platform takes a fundamentally different approach to enterprise security by using artificial intelligence to continuously discover and map an organization's complete infrastructure without manual configuration. The system claims to identify all assets, connections, and potential vulnerabilities across cloud environments, on-premises systems, and hybrid architectures.

According to the company, traditional security tools require extensive manual setup and constant updates as infrastructure changes. Gambit's AI-native approach aims to eliminate this overhead by automatically adapting to infrastructure changes in real-time. The platform uses machine learning models trained on vast datasets of network configurations and attack patterns to understand what constitutes normal behavior versus potential threats.

Key capabilities include:

• Autonomous infrastructure discovery that maps all connected systems without agent deployment
• Continuous vulnerability assessment that updates as new assets come online
• AI-driven threat detection that learns from both global attack patterns and organization-specific behaviors
• Automated response orchestration that can contain threats without human intervention

The timing of Gambit's launch coincides with growing enterprise demand for automated security solutions as organizations struggle with increasingly complex IT environments and sophisticated cyber threats. The company positions itself as addressing the fundamental challenge of security teams being overwhelmed by the volume of alerts and the complexity of modern infrastructure.

Gambit's founders bring experience from elite Israeli military intelligence units and previous cybersecurity startups. The team includes experts in artificial intelligence, network security, and cloud infrastructure who have worked at companies including Google, Microsoft, and various cybersecurity firms.

Industry analysts note that while AI-powered security tools have been available for several years, Gambit's approach of completely autonomous infrastructure mapping represents a significant evolution. Most existing solutions still require some level of manual configuration or periodic scanning.

The funding will be used to expand Gambit's engineering team, enhance its AI models, and scale its go-to-market operations. The company plans to target enterprise customers in financial services, healthcare, and technology sectors where infrastructure complexity and security requirements are highest.

Gambit faces competition from established cybersecurity vendors like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Zscaler, as well as newer AI-focused security startups. However, its autonomous discovery capability could provide a competitive advantage in markets where traditional security tools struggle to keep pace with rapidly changing infrastructure.

The broader context includes increasing regulatory pressure on cybersecurity, with frameworks like NIST and frameworks requiring comprehensive asset inventories and continuous monitoring. Gambit's platform directly addresses these compliance requirements while also providing threat detection capabilities.

As enterprises continue migrating to cloud-native architectures and adopting DevOps practices, the need for security tools that can keep pace with rapid infrastructure changes becomes more critical. Gambit's AI-native approach aims to bridge this gap by providing security that adapts as quickly as the infrastructure it protects.

The company plans to use the new funding to accelerate product development and expand its customer base beyond its initial pilot programs. With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated and the attack surface expanding, Gambit's autonomous approach to cyber resilience could represent a significant shift in how enterprises approach security in an AI-driven world.
