Gambit Security, a startup developing a cyber-focused business resilience platform, announced it has raised $61 million in funding. The round was led by Kleiner Perkins, Spark Capital and Cyberstarts. Of the total amount, $5 million was raised earlier in a Seed round.

Founded in 2024, Gambit is building an AI-driven cyber resilience platform designed to continuously measure an organization’s preparedness against evolving threats. The company’s solution connects to enterprise environments, security tools and backup systems, autonomously mapping infrastructure and backup data to expose hidden gaps that could undermine traditional recovery plans and jeopardize business continuity.

According to the company, although most organizations maintain backups, only about 5% of systems are actually prepared to withstand ransomware attacks. Such disruptions often result in significant financial losses and operational downtime. Gambit’s platform aims to bridge the gap between theoretical recovery planning and real-world readiness by continuously assessing resilience levels, identifying vulnerabilities and validating recovery pathways in real time.

Beyond cyberattacks, the system is also designed to address critical system failures and technical disruptions. Gambit says its platform enables organizations to optimize backup management, reduce cloud storage costs by an average of 10%, lower cyber insurance premiums and cut regulatory and audit-related expenses.

The company was founded by CEO Alon Gromkov, Chief Product Officer Saar Elias and Chief Technology Officer May Kogan — all alumni of Israel’s elite Unit 8200, where they served as career officers and received the Israel Security Award during their service. After completing their military service, they were among the first employees at the cybersecurity startup Sentra.

Gambit currently employs around 60 people, including approximately 50 in Israel and 10 in the United States. The new funding will be used to accelerate product development, expand partnerships with global enterprises and grow teams across research, engineering and sales.

The platform is already deployed by leading organizations across industries including high-tech, retail, finance and healthcare. According to the company, risk analyses conducted through the system have uncovered significant infrastructure gaps and helped prevent critical outages.

“Cyberattacks and infrastructure failures have become routine events that cause severe disruptions and financial losses,” said Alon Gromkov, Co-Founder and CEO of Gambit. “Pouring more and more budget into security and backup tools has become an unwinnable arms race. Recovery capabilities have lagged decades behind — what could be restored yesterday may fail today, leaving organizations exposed to catastrophic downtime. Gambit changes that equation. We eliminate the ‘expiration date’ of resilience strategies by providing real-time capabilities that help teams ensure their environments remain robust against evolving threats — not just on a periodic basis.”
