Seal Security secures $7.4 million Seed funding to secure open source with GenAI
With software supply chain attacks on the rise, the Israeli startup’s platform leverages generative AI to provide customers with a remediation solution to this growing challenge
Seal Security announced on Tuesday that it has emerged from stealth with a $7.4 million Seed funding round led by Vertex Ventures Israel, with participation from Crew Capital, PayPal Alumni Fund, and Cyber Club London.
With software supply chain attacks on the rise, organizations are faced with the challenge of managing thousands of vulnerabilities despite the availability of current market solutions. Seal’s platform leverages generative AI to provide customers with a remediation solution to this growing challenge.
The company, founded by Itamar Sher (CEO), Lev Pachmanov (CTO), and Alon Navon (CPO), uses the latest advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) to create an automated pipeline that significantly increases their patching capacity. According to the company, this approach provides access to security patches across five programming languages, enabling organizations to remediate over 95% of critical and high severity vulnerabilities identified in the last five years.
"Open source software is at the core of almost every innovation, yet securing it requires tremendous amounts of manual labor and cross-department collaboration," said Itamar Sher, CEO and co-founder of Seal Security. “We tackle this problem head-on by enabling security teams to automate and scale their vulnerability remediation. Seal Security provides organizations with centralized control over the vulnerability patching process—without requiring involvement from R&D— reducing the MTTR from months to hours."
