Xyte, an Israeli startup that developed the first all-in-one servitization platform for device and hardware manufacturers, held a $30 million investment round, which included $20 million in Series A funding led by Intel Capital, with participation from Samsung Next. Meanwhile Snyk, an Israeli cybersecurity startup and a unicorn, acquired fellow Israeli firm Helios, which offers runtime data collection and insights. The purchase price was not disclosed.
Founded in 2015 by Israelis Assaf Hefetz, Danny Grander, and Guy Podjarny, Snyk provides cloud native application security (CNAS) solutions which enable modern applications to be built securely, empowering developers to own and build security for the whole application, from code and open source to containers and cloud infrastructure.
Snyk says that its SaaS platform can help developers find vulnerabilities and license violations in their open source codebases, containers, and Kubernetes applications. By connecting their code repository, Snyk customers gain access to a giant vulnerability database, which enables Snyk to serve a description of the problem, point to where the flaw in the code lies, and even suggest a fix.

“As the pace and complexity of software development continues to rapidly increase, we’ve seen our global customers reap enormous productivity gains, but often at the cost of increased risk and critical security concerns,” said Peter McKay, CEO, Snyk. “This acquisition was executed with those valid concerns top of mind. We’re excited to welcome the Helios team and look forward to continuing to push the market forward with our ASPM vision and enhanced solution.”
“This is an incredible opportunity for the Helios team to join Snyk and change how the industry views ASPM, and we’re thrilled that our technology will immediately be able to help more AppSec and developer teams be successful,” said Eli Cohen, Co-Founder and CEO, Helios. “We’ve long admired Snyk’s approach and proven success and we’re honored to join this innovative, collaborative culture.”
