Novee

Novee Security provides an AI-driven penetration testing platform designed to continuously identify and remediate vulnerabilities within an organization's evolving IT environment. The company was founded in May 2025 by CEO Ido Geffen, CPO Gon Chalamish, and CTO Omer Ninburg, all of whom are veterans of elite Israeli cyber and intelligence units, including Unit 8200 and the Talpiot program. The founders' extensive background in leading nation-state level offensive cyber operations and defending critical national infrastructure informed their approach to building the company.

Novee launched out of stealth in January 2026, having secured $51.5 million in combined Seed and Series A funding within four months of its inception. The rounds were led by YL Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Zeev Ventures. The firm's platform addresses the gap between the rapid, automated nature of modern cyberattacks and the traditionally periodic, manual process of security testing. It simulates the sophisticated tactics of real-world attackers to uncover novel vulnerabilities, business logic flaws, and chained attack paths that conventional scanners often miss.

The company has developed its own proprietary, patent-pending AI model trained specifically on offensive security techniques and workflows. This model has demonstrated significantly higher accuracy in web exploitation challenges compared to general-purpose large language models. Novee's business model is centered on providing its platform to technology companies and other enterprises, with clients including K Health, HiBob, and Cresta. The service provides an end-to-end loop, from exploit validation to automated retesting, ensuring that identified risks are not just found but also fixed. Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Novee also has a presence in New York and is expanding its operations in the U.S.
