Meet Backline: a novel security startup that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to address security vulnerabilities swiftly and autonomously. It’s now breaking its silence with a whopping $9 million seed funding round, as mentored by StageOne Ventures.
Backline is the brainchild of Maor Goldberg, a seasoned entrepreneur well-versed in launching and selling security startups. His latest venture, co-founded alongside Eran Leib (chief customer officer) and Aviad Chen (VP R&D), emerges from his persistent encounter with an industry flooded with unresolved security alerts and teams swamped with unmanageable troubleshooting tasks.
Backline’s innovative solution to this inundation is a smart automation system. By absorbing alerts from various security tools, Backline deploys its AI agents to remedy many tackled issues, from identifying the vulnerability to testing the remediation–a step Backline emphasizes as essential for establishing trust.
Binaries of language models constitute much of this intelligent solution’s anatomy. They facilitate a seamless, intelligent process to address high-priority security issues. Notably, Backline’s vision scales beyond treating software vulnerabilities. Anticipating future challenges, the firm draws focus towards patching software supply chain fissures, rectifying identity and access obstructions, and conducting static application security assessments.
Backline’s swift stride in the cybersecurity landscape is already lauded by Tal Slobodkin, StageOne Ventures’ managing partner, who acknowledges the startup’s revolutionary approach offers an efficient breakdown of the prioritization paradigm.
Concluding the seed round on a high note, Evolution Equity Partners and Gradient made their investments.
