Cybersecurity startup Beacon Security has announced raising $13 million in a seed funding round led by Notable Capital.

AlphaDrive Ventures, Holly Ventures, Jefferies Family Office, SVCI, and dozens of angel investors also participated in the investment round.

Based in New York, Beacon was founded in 2024 by IDF veterans Gal Tal-Hochberg (CEO), Or Mattatia (CPO), and Iddo Israely (CTO).

Beacon is providing organizations with a agentic security data platform that enables defenders to prevent, detect, and respond to threats with critical context, history, and real-time visibility.

The platform combines telemetry from multiple sources, normalizing and enriching it for both AI agents and human analysts. It continuously maps sources against threats and compliance to surface weaknesses before they can be exploited.

Beacon enables security teams to leverage AI agents for building detections, investigations, shadow AI analysis, and other tasks. Defenders can run agentic workflows or build new ones tailored to their needs.

Additionally, the platform provides a library of specialized cybersecurity agents connected to Beacon’s context layer that can catch AI attacks, emerging techniques, and other types of threats that traditional tools may miss.

Beacon says its solution is seeing rapid adoption across enterprise customers, including Fortune 500 companies.

“The acceleration of AI agents in the enterprise is creating a distinct need for a legible context layer for cyber defenders, which is fueling a fundamentally new security architecture. We built Beacon to solve these challenges by providing the trusted data layer that allows organizations to deploy security agents compliantly and effectively,” Tal-Hochberg said.
