What does Osavul do? Its AI platform draws on open and privileged data to identify who is targeting a customer, then maps that intent against the customer's people, facilities, and supply chains to anticipate attacks. Assessments are analyst-reviewed and can run on-premise within sovereign infrastructure, so sensitive data never leaves the customer's systems.
Why now? Hybrid activity from adversarial states — cyberattacks, sabotage, espionage, and information manipulation — has intensified amid rising geopolitical tensions. More than 150 state-linked incidents have been recorded across Europe since 2022, with similar patterns around energy, aviation, and shipping assets in the Middle East and Asia.
By the numbers: The €8.5 million round sits in the top third of comparable Series A deals by size. Osavul says its total contract value grew fourfold in 2025.
What's the endgame? Developed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine and shaped over four years alongside defence and security units, Osavul now serves institutions in more than 10 countries, including the UK, Germany, Poland, the Nordics, and the US. It is one of three companies delivering NATODealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →'s Information Environment Assessment Capability.
The new funding will support AI development, commercial expansion, and entry into new markets and industries — pushing beyond government into enterprise.
What they're saying: "Hybrid attacks are no longer a government problem alone," said Dmytro Plieshakov, co-founder and chief executive officer. "The companies running energy, airports, ports, transport and finance now face the same adversaries, usually without the means to see them coming."
The signal: As hostile states blur the line between physical and digital attacks, demand is growing for intelligence that spans both. Osavul's bet is that capability forged in defence will increasingly sell to the private firms running critical infrastructure.
