Novee, an AI-driven offensive security platform, announced emergence from stealth with $51.5 million in funding led by YL Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Oren Zeev. The company aims to revolutionize penetration testing by making it continuous, intelligent, and reflective of real attacker behavior, addressing the growing threat of AI-powered cyberattacks.
Traditional security testing operates on human timescales, lagging behind attackers who leverage AI to automate reconnaissance and exploit vulnerabilities at machine speed. Novee’s platform bridges this gap by delivering continuous, AI-driven penetration testing that mimics sophisticated hacker tactics. It uniquely uncovers novel vulnerabilities, including complex business logic flaws typically detectable only by expert manual testers. The platform automates exploit validation and retesting, ensuring critical risks are permanently mitigated.
The leadership team includes Ido Geffen (CEO), Gon Chalamish (CPO), and Omer Ninburg (CTO), all veterans from Israel Defense Force’s elite cyber units with decades of offensive security experience.
Novee developed a proprietary, patent-pending AI model tailored specifically for offensive security, trained on real-world exploitation techniques. This AI outperforms general-purpose large language models, exceeding their accuracy by over 55% on targeted web exploitation tasks, reaching up to 90% accuracy compared to about 65% for others.
Novee’s platform delivers high-confidence findings with proven exploitability, enabling organizations to uncover and fix hundreds of novel vulnerabilities continuously — closing security gaps before attackers can strike.
