Ray Security has officially launched its predictive data security platform, marking an essential moment in the realm of enterprise data protection. The company recently completed a successful seed funding round, securing $11 million with the support of prominent investors, including Venture Guides and Ibex Investors. This funding aims to enhance the company’s product development and expand its presence in the U.S. market.
The unique approach of Ray Security focuses on safeguarding enterprise data by constantly monitoring how it is accessed and used. The platform is engineered to learn which data is essential to an organization, allowing it to forecast which data will be required in the near future. By deploying the appropriate level of protection before potential risks arise, the platform enhances security through automated detection and response, all in real-time.
One of the standout features of Ray Security’s platform is its continuous analysis of data access across various factors, including users, systems, AI agents, and a range of operating environments. This real-time adaptability enables the platform to provide proactive security measures tailored to the current business needs. As a result, companies can experience significant risk reduction, decreased costs, and improved security operations. The system is capable of automatically blocking threats as they begin to emerge, thereby enhancing overall safety.
With the newly acquired funding, Ray Security intends to intensify its product development efforts and expand its market presence, particularly in the United States. The company has already made a measurable impact, collaborating with dozens of clients, including Fortune 500 companies operating in highly regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and technology.
Ray Security combines advanced technology protected by over ten pending patents with a strong capability to integrate seamlessly into various data repositories. This includes compatibility with cloud platforms, on-premises systems, databases, and directory services, providing a comprehensive security solution for hybrid environments.
Founded in 2024 by a team of seasoned Israeli cybersecurity experts, Ray Security is led by CEO Ariel Zamir, CBO Eric Wolf, and CTO Dekel Levkovich. Collectively, they bring decades of experience in building large-scale enterprise security solutions from their previous roles at respected companies such as NetApp, Check Point, Guardicore, and Axonius. Their extensive background in cybersecurity, data systems, and artificial intelligence underscores the innovative work being done at Ray Security.
