Israel-based Copperhelm on Thursday emerged from stealth mode, having raised $7 million in seed funding for its agentic cloud security platform.

The funding round was led by TLV Partners, with participation from ToDay Ventures, Icon, SaaS Ventures Israel, and several angel investors. The investment will be used for product development, go-to-market efforts, and engineering team growth.

Copperhelm was founded by Shimon Tolts, Eyar Zilberman, and Roman Labunsky, who previously held leadership and senior technical roles at Unity, McAfee, and RSA.

Copperhelm has built an agentic platform where AI agents autonomously monitor cloud environments, investigate threats, and execute remediation in real time. 

The platform is designed for large enterprises and is built around a proprietary component called the Context Lake, a real-time decision layer that structures and connects cloud data across environments, giving AI agents the contextual grounding needed to accurately assess and act on risks.

The platform deploys specialized AI agents focused on network analysis, system inspection, adversary simulation, and automated remediation. These agents connect directly to live workloads, inspect active processes, map cloud network topology, and can deploy targeted protections such as WAF rules to neutralize threats without causing downtime.

Copperhelm is positioned as an alternative to manual cloud security workflows, converting large volumes of raw findings into a prioritized, evidence-backed list of validated risks that security teams can act on directly. Human teams remain in control while the agents handle investigation and remediation.

“Engineering teams got AI years ago; security was left behind doing manual work,” said Tolts, the co-founder who serves as Copperhelm’s CEO. “Copperhelm finally brings true AI to cloud security. It’s like instantly adding twenty senior engineers to your team.”
