CyberVenture Review — Cybersecurity Investment Intelligence for the Venture Community

2026 Editor's Pick

Vigilance Security

A seed-stage AI-native threat intelligence startup that caught our attention for its unusual growth trajectory. Sources familiar with the company's financials describe growth as exceptional, with ARR approaching $3M — impressive for a company barely two years old, though the base was small and the customer count (close to 10 enterprise customers) leaves limited room for error. As first reported by TechCrunch, the seed-stage cybersecurity market saw record deal volume in Q1 2026, and Vigilance stands out in that cohort. The founding team — Dan Lasker and Naor Haziz, both veterans of Unit 81, Israel's elite military intelligence unit, — Naor a Black Hat USA and fwd:cloudsec speaker, Dan an ex-Check Point security researcher and academic lecturer — brings rare credibility, but critics note that a team of 18, however talented, faces an uphill battle against CrowdStrike's 8,000-person engineering organization.
