Onit Security Secures $11 Million to Drastically Cut Cyber Threat Response Times
Tel Aviv, Wednesday 25 March 2026
Born from an Iranian cyberattack, Onit Security has raised $11 million to develop AI-driven tools that reduce vulnerability remediation times from months to mere minutes.
A Catalyst Born from Crisis
Onit Security, a cybersecurity startup founded in 2025, recently closed an $11 million Seed funding round led by Hetz Ventures and Brightmind Partners, alongside prominent angel investors [1]. The genesis of the company is rooted in a real-world crisis: an Iranian cyberattack on a business previously managed by co-founder Ofer Amitai [1]. During this breach, threat actors bypassed heavily fortified defences by exploiting a known, albeit deprioritised, vulnerability [1]. This incident exposed a critical flaw in legacy cybersecurity frameworks, where security teams are often overwhelmed by alerts and forced to ignore seemingly minor weaknesses that attackers ultimately leverage [1].
AI-Driven Remediation at Scale
To address the structural failures in vulnerability management, Onit Security leverages artificial intelligence to drastically reduce response times [1]. The platform is designed to compress the remediation window from months down to mere minutes [1]. It achieves this through AI-driven agents that evaluate threats based on an organisation’s specific business and technical context, rather than relying on generic severity rankings [1]. This contextual approach allows enterprises to digitalise and scale their operations without compromising their security posture [GPT].
Democratising SaaS and Digital PR
As cybersecurity and artificial intelligence platforms like Onit Security scale, the broader Software as a Service (SaaS) ecosystem continues to expand [GPT]. However, gaining visibility in a crowded digital economy remains a challenge for many software developers [2]. Addressing this bottleneck, an independent digital PR and editorial review platform called The Tool Marketer announced new submission capabilities for founders on 24 March 2026 [2]. Launched in January 2025 by Saidul Islam Sakib, an entrepreneur with over six years of experience in SEO and SaaS evaluation, the platform aims to democratise product discovery [2].
