Mave Raises $34 million for agentic SecOps platform

Mave, a security operations startup based in Tel Aviv and founded in 2025, announced $34 million in funding on October 22, 2026.

SecurityWeek reported the funding announcement. Red Dot Capital Partners led the Series A, with Lumir Growth Partners participating. Dell Technologies Capital and Emerge Ventures, which led the seed round, also participated in the Series A.

Guy Eshel and Raziel Oren, alumni of Unit 8200, founded Mave. Eshel serves as CTO and Oren as CEO. The company has around 30 employees and plans to add staff for go-to-market work and AI research positions.

The company says the money will speed up frontier artificial intelligence research, improve enterprise products, and support global expansion. According to Mave, its AI agents draw live context from the security tools already in place. The system runs fine-tuned small language models (SLMs) and frontier large language models (LLMs) to reason in near real time.

Mave says enterprise security teams manage vast amounts of data across many tools, but response to actual incidents remains slow. Raziel Oren said, “Security teams still investigate threats one tool at a time, manually piecing together evidence before they can reach a verdict.” Oren said attackers do not wait.

Mave says conventional SIEM tools cannot match the speed of the automated kill chains that AI-assisted attackers use. The company holds that AI must be deployed to counter AI’s effects. Oren says the platform reduces risk by fielding AI that matches attackers, shows its work, and recognizes when human judgment is required.

The long-term goal, Oren says, is to make AI a responsible and accountable element of modern enterprise protection. The company is not committing to full automation at this time. AI agents could technically carry out actions from their own analysis, but Mave currently refrains from doing so.

Governed access comes through least-privileged integrations, approval gates when required, and a full record of actions and decisions. Mave says agentic AI development remains in its early stages.

Its system will reduce alert fatigue for the security operations staff that remains. The company says replacing many humans with agents will lower overhead costs and reduce the availability of cybersecurity jobs.
