Gambit Security

Gambit Security is a cybersecurity firm that emerged from stealth mode in February 2026 with a substantial $61 million in Seed and Series A funding. The company was founded in 2024 by Chief Executive Officer Alon Gromakov, Chief Product Officer Sa'ar Elias, and Chief Technology Officer May Kogan. The founding team consists of veterans of the Israeli Defense Forces' elite Unit 8200 who later became early employees at the cybersecurity startup Sentra.

The firm's core offering is an AI-native resilience platform designed to ensure digital continuity for enterprises. This platform addresses the challenge of recovery in complex technology environments, a problem the founders believe has been outpaced by advancements in cyber threats. Gambit Security operates on the premise that preventing all cyberattacks is unrealistic, and therefore, the focus must shift to an organization's ability to withstand and recover from them.

The platform provides a unified governance and control plane that integrates with an organization's cloud infrastructure, backup systems, security tools, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). It autonomously maps the entire infrastructure and backup data to identify resilience gaps, such as systems that are not backed up frequently enough or backups that are not immutable against ransomware. By validating recovery paths in real-time, the platform helps turn resilience assumptions into verifiable certainties before an incident occurs. It continuously measures resilience against evolving threats, enabling early remediation and rapid recovery from cyberattacks, critical system failures, and technical disruptions. The platform also offers a cost-reduction benefit by identifying and eliminating inefficient backup management and redundant data storage, which can reduce cloud storage costs by at least 10%.

Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Gambit Security serves global enterprises across various industries. The company has raised a total of $61 million in under 12 months from prominent investors including Spark Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and Cyberstarts. The fresh capital is intended to accelerate product development, expand sales operations, and deepen partnerships with global organizations.
