Onyxia Raises $5M to Help Companies Proactively Manage Cybersecurity Risks Using AI
Summary
Onyxia, an AI-powered cybersecurity strategy and performance platform providing a centralized way for security teams to monitor and manage cybersecurity efforts in real-time, has raised $5 million in seed fundraising led by World Trade Ventures (WTV) with participation by Silvertech Ventures and angel investors. Onyxia is setting a new standard in cybersecurity by enabling enterprises and managed security service providers (MSSPs) to consistently have real-time insight into their internal systemic and macro cybersecurity postures, proactively highlighting strategies to close imminent security gaps and threats. Too often, legacy cybersecurity software fails to keep up with an evolving landscape despite security teams spending $150 Billion annually (Gartner) on consulting and manual processes,” said Charlie Federman, Partner at SilverTech Ventures. “We built Onyxia to be a proactive solution to cybersecurity threats, aimed at keeping CISOs ahead of the curve by providing them with tailored insights based on real-time data, so companies properly prioritize and are best prepared.” Onyxia was founded by Sivan Tehila, who served as CISO of the Research and Analysis Division and Head of Information Security for the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) prior to founding the company. By leveraging automation and scalability, Onyxia enables CISOs to gain a holistic view of their entire cybersecurity environment while highlighting the best solutions and strategies to close security gaps.
