Gambit Security Ltd. has launched with an impressive $61 million in funding to revolutionize how organizations approach data recovery and operational resilience. The investment signals significant confidence in the startup’s unique technology, which promises to identify and resolve potential failures in recovery processes before they lead to critical data loss.
The Israel-based startup operates in the data protection space, aiming to solve the complex challenges associated with restoring applications and information following an outage or cyberattack. The traditional recovery process is a multi-step, largely manual effort prone to numerous technical issues that can delay or even prevent a successful restoration. The company offers a proactive approach designed to make recovery processes more reliable and automated, thereby ensuring business continuity.
According to Silicon Angle, the current funding amount of $61 million was raised across two separate rounds that closed within the past 12 months. This capital will be used by the firm to expand its go-to-market teams and accelerate product development, addressing the growing market demand for advanced data resilience solutions.
The technology at the core of the platform is an artificial intelligence (AI) engine that automatically analyzes data from a company’s infrastructure, backup tools, and cybersecurity software. The system continuously scans for problems that could disrupt recovery workflows. For instance, it ensures that fresh backup copies exist for all critical workloads and notifies administrators when backup frequency is insufficient. It also checks whether backup files are immutable, a feature essential for protection against ransomware that encrypts backup copies.
Another key capability of the platform is its ability to scan and validate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scripts, which are used to automate the rapid recovery of servers and applications. The system identifies situations of ‘drift’, where a recovery script is outdated and no longer matches the application it is intended to restore. All findings and issues are displayed in a central dashboard, along with remediation suggestions. The platform even distills its findings into a ‘resilience score’, giving administrators a high-level overview of the organization’s disaster readiness.
The significant investment highlights a clear market trend: a shift from focusing merely on backup to emphasizing comprehensive data resilience, ensuring not just data preservation but also rapid and reliable recovery. This funding will allow the young company to establish itself as a leader in the field and provide organizations with the tools they need to face modern outage threats.
