"In the cyber realm, we've discovered a blue ocean that isn't crowded with competitors. We sense that we are making rapid progress without significant competition," Gem Security Co-Founder and CEO Arie Zilberstein told Calcalist. "We intend to expand both by building teams in Israel and the United States."

Gem Security has developed a purpose-built CDR platform that shortens the time to detect, investigate and contain cloud-native threats. The platform centralizes real-time visibility into multi-cloud environments, as well as provides cloud-native forensics and automated incident timelining to understand the root causes of a cloud breach.

“Gem is redefining security operations for the cloud era, empowering teams with a simple, automated, and efficient approach that allows organizations to respond faster and minimize the impact of attacks in the cloud," added Zilberstein.
