Statement issued by the company (Announcement)<\/p>\n

Founded by a team of seasoned security leaders, Cylake debuts with $45M in seed financing,\u00a0led by Greylock Partners<\/h2>\n
\n

Cylake<\/u><\/a> <\/strong>today announced its launch as a new cybersecurity company bringing complete,\u00a0AI-native, data-driven protection to customers in a fully sovereign way\u2014no public cloud required. The company was founded to address the challenges faced by the world’s largest and most\u00a0regulated organizations and institutions, which demand state-of-the-art cybersecurity but are\u00a0often unable to use products tied to the public cloud.<\/p>\n

Co-founded\u00a0by Nir Zuk<\/strong>, Wilson Xu<\/strong> and Ehud (Udi) Shamir<\/strong>\u2014who helped build Palo Alto Networks and other category-defining security companies\u2014Cylake is designed for\u00a0organizations where visibility, control, and accountability are essential.<\/p>\n

Two key principles underpin Cylake\u2019s design. The first is that\u00a0the next generation of AI-native cybersecurity\u00a0requires a holistic approach: a complete view of all data\u00a0and context\u00a0<\/strong>from the entire infrastructure stack, as well as a unified platform for protection. Fragmentation, whether due to incomplete data or a patchwork of security products, creates exploitable vulnerabilities. The second principle is that some of the world\u2019s largest organizations cannot, for security concerns or regulatory purposes, depend on products that rely on the public cloud. Cylake believes that a requirement for complete security and control\u2014including data and operational sovereignty\u2014shouldn\u2019t disqualify a company from top-tier cybersecurity, and is designed to operate fully on-premises or in a private cloud.<\/p>\n

\u201cCybersecurity is constantly evolving, and sometimes new challenges demand completely new\u00a0approaches,\u201d said Nir Zuk, Founder and CEO of Cylake. \u201cCylake is for institutions where\u00a0maintaining full control over data and operations is not optional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cylake is being developed as a complete,\u00a0<\/strong>AI-native\u00a0cybersecurity architecture,<\/strong>\u00a0with agentic workflows\u00a0built\u00a0on\u00a0a single, sovereign data foundation. The platform is intended for environments where organizations must retain full control over their infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s $45 million seed round was led by Greylock Partners<\/strong>, joined by additional\u00a0experienced technology investors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next generation of cybersecurity will be AI-native, agentic, and built on holistic data and context,\u201d\u00a0said Asheem Chandna, Partner at Greylock Partners. \u201cCylake is focused on a segment of the market where security must operate under full control to meet regulatory and operational reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The founding team brings a wealth of industry experience. Nir Zuk<\/strong> founded Palo Alto Networks<\/strong> in 2005 and served as the company\u2019s CTO for more than two decades. Wilson Xu helped build Palo Alto Networks for over a decade, including leading the engineering team. Udi Shamir co-founded SentinelOne in 2013. Together, the team is excited for the opportunity to build a new type of security platform for an underserved market segment.<\/p>\n

Cylake plans to collaborate with a select group of design partners as it develops the platform,\u00a0with product availability anticipated in early 2027.\u00a0Visit\u00a0cylake.com<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to learn more about opportunities to join the team or become a design partner.<\/p>\n
