Huskeys Emerges From Stealth With $8 Million in Funding

The startup has built an edge security management (ESM) platform, an AI engine atop the entire edge security stack.

Cybersecurity funding

Israeli cybersecurity startup Huskeys on Monday emerged from stealth mode with $8 million in seed funding.

Founded in 2025 by Israeli intelligence veterans Itai Gafni and Roy Weisfeld, Tel Aviv-based Huskeys has built an edge security management (ESM) platform that tackles the complexities of modern environments that traditional WAFs cannot.

The platform adds an agentic layer atop the entire edge security stack, providing a control pane across multi-cloud and multi-WAF environments.

The engine gathers signals, enriches them with environmental context, and analyzes business logic, traffic behavior, and risk.

Huskeys’ platform orchestrates rules, policies, and configurations, and continuously assesses and adapts them to ensure both security optimization and desired business outcomes.

Already adopted by dozens of global organizations, the ESM platform has been tailored for businesses that rely on web traffic as a core revenue driver.

“Huskeys was built to integrate within minutes and deliver value within hours – not weeks. Now teams can stop guessing and turn their WAF from a business blocker into a revenue generator,” said Gafni, who serves as Huskeys’ CEO.

10D, Alumni Ventures, CCL, Merlin Ventures, SVAngel, The Players Fund, and toDay, along with multiple angel investors, supported Huskeys in this investment round. Earlier this year, the startup participated in CrowdStrike’s Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator program.
