Prompt Security, Lasso, Aim, Pillar, and Noma are all tipped as the next targets in Israel’s red-hot AI-cyber M&A race.
The article discusses the burgeoning AI-cybersecurity M&A activity in Israel, highlighting companies like Prompt Security, Lasso, Aim, Pillar, and Noma as potential acquisition targets. The AI revolution has significantly impacted the cybersecurity sector, with attackers using AI for sophisticated attacks and defenders leveraging AI for advanced security tools.

U.S. companies like Zscaler and F5, along with Israeli firm Check Point, are actively seeking acquisitions. Despite founders desires to remain independent, venture funds are pushing for exits, with several Israeli AI-cyber exits expected soon. The focus is on acquiring talent and technology rather than mature products, as seen in recent deals.

The Wiz of GenAI security? “Lasso has the potential to be a once-in-a-decade company in cyber” | CTech
Lasso Security, founded in June 2023, is a startup focused on AI cybersecurity. Despite geopolitical challenges, the company has made significant strides, including raising $6 million in its first funding round. However, it rejected investment from Paddy Cosgrave due to his controversial statements, creating a budget gap. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett joined the board, aiding in strategic direction and customer acquisition. Lasso has developed a product that addresses AI-specific cybersecurity risks, securing major clients, including U.S. federal agencies. The company is generating over $1 million in sales and plans to raise another funding round in early 2025. Lasso aims to become a leader in the burgeoning AI cybersecurity market, which is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
