Intuition Robotics, an Israeli startup that offers cognitive digital companions to help fight loneliness, raised $25 million in funding, $20 million of which is in venture capital led by Woven Capital, the growth fund of Toyota, with the remaining from venture debt. And fellow Israeli startup Cypago raised $13 million for a cyber-governance, risk, and compliance automation platform.
Founded in 2020 by Arik Solomon, a former EY executive and Yahav Peri, a former officer in the IDF Intelligence Corps and a cybersecurity expert, the Cypago Cyber GRC Automation (CGA) Platform combines the strength of SaaS architecture and advanced Correlation Engines, GenAI, and NLP-based automation with an “intuitive user experience, delivering complete coverage across all security frameworks and IT environments.” The company boasts that the platform enables organizations to increase security and GRC maturity through simplified cross-functional workflows, reduced manual efforts, and lower costs–all while reinforcing the trust of customers and stakeholders.
“Traditionally, running cyber GRC processes has been a manual, fragmented, and time-consuming process,” said Arik Solomon, Co-Founder and CEO of Cypago. “As the risk of cyber threats continues to rise, the volume and complexity of security-related GRC obligations grow, adding to the burden over time. This diverts valuable attention from cybersecurity teams, which should be focused on enhancing their business’ security. Non-compliance with GRC mandates can result in costly fines, erode customer trust, and even major data breaches.”
