  "account": "Guy Eshel and Raziel Oren co-founded Mave in 2025, a cybersecurity startup that uses AI agents to address the rapid evolution of cyberattacks. Mave has secured $34 million in Series A funding to bring AI agents to companies' security operations. Oren, Mave's CEO, highlighted that old systems struggle to keep up with the swift transformation of cyberattacks by AI. Mave's agents integrate information from a company's existing security systems, investigate alerts, filter false alarms, and carry out actions approved by human teams. The startup compares security operations to physical security guards monitoring live camera footage of a building, noting that current solutions are inadequate in pace to combat emerging threats. AI has accelerated the pace of cyber threats, leading to a predicted exponential increase in agent-powered incidents. Oren co-founded Mave with Eshel, who mentored him in unit 8200 of the Israel Defense Forces, sharing firsthand cybersecurity experience. AI agents have gained attention due to a series of high-profile security breaches, prompting corporate leaders to worry about AI's cybersecurity risks. Mave's agents provide transparency by tracking each step of their thousands of workflows, allowing human employees to understand the agents' reasoning and actions. The company charges a flat rate based on the company's size and needs. Mave's funding includes $28 million from a Series A round led by Red Dot Capital Partners and Lumir Growth Partners, along with an earlier $6 million seed round. The startup employs 30 people and plans to expand the team, focusing on go-to-market roles and AI research.",
