Aim Security, an Israeli cybersecurity startup that offers a GenAI security platform for enterprises, raised $10 million in Seed funding led by YL Ventures, with participation from CCL (Cyber Club London).
GenAI is actually not entirely distinct from AI, but rather a specific subset of it. When people talk about AI, they often refer to a broad field encompassing various techniques and methods for allowing machines to exhibit intelligent behavior.GenAI, on the other hand, focuses on a particular type of AI, known as Generative AI.
Imagine AI as a vast toolbox containing many different tools for understanding and working with data. GenAI is a specific tool within that toolbox, specializing in creative generation and producing new things.

In simpler terms, AI is about analyzing and utilizing existing information, while GenAI is about creating something entirely new based on what it has learned.
There is a reason why cybersecurity startups are so valuable today. Hackers are not only motivated by money or politics. They often just like being malicious. So even small companies need to be on their guard and be sure to properly protect their systems.
And what country is better suited to be the leading innovator in the world when it comes to this field?
Everyone knows that Israel has been at the forefront of security – all security – since its inception, from military innovations to cybersecurity. Now, combine that with Israel’s high-tech sector and the ability of Israelis to innovate and be problem solvers in just about any field.
And add to that the vaunted cybersecurity units in the IDF. Take a smart Israeli kid who is already an expert with computers, put him in a military cybersecurity unit, add sugar and bake for a few years and you will get a new cybersecurity high-tech startup.
And one of the founders of Aim security got his start in the Israeli military.
Founded in 2022 by cybersecurity veterans CEO Matan Getz and CTO Adir Gruss, who pioneered the use and adoption of AI and big data tools in the IDF’s elite intelligence Unit 8200, Aim Security is the industry guide to secure GenAI adoption, equipping security leaders with the ability to drive business productivity while providing the right guardrails and ensuring proactive protection for all use cases across the entire organization, whether enterprise use or production use.
“Traditional security tools lack the specific expertise required to understand the foundations of GenAI and the scope of its risk, and these are blind spots that organizations can’t see until it’s too late. “This enormous risk surface is replete with unique attack vectors that existing security solutions cannot sufficiently address,” says Matan Getz, CEO and co-founder of Aim Security. “Much like the cloud revolution and the bespoke security solutions that followed, the GenAI revolution requires an entirely new approach to addressing its unique vulnerabilities and vectors.”
Across the organization, business users and developers can leverage GenAI technology while Aim provides security teams with the oversight, visibility and control they never had. Aim’s unparalleled GenAI Protection Suite is a holistic platform that is dedicated to continuously addressing these risks while ensuring increased productivity and secure GenAI adoption.
