Just months after emerging from stealth in September 2025, Israeli cybersecurity startup Vega has raised $120 million in a Series B funding round.
Led by existing investor Accel, with participation from Cyberstarts, Redpoint, and CRV, the Series B round brings the total amount raised by the company to $185 million in under two years
Vega’s platform, advertised as a more efficient alternative to traditional SIEM solutions, is designed to help organizations detect threats and respond to them.
The platform leverages AI to enable SOC teams to create new detections or use ones from a continuously updated list provided by Vega, as well as to automatically map and fix coverage gaps and noisy rules.
Despite being new to market, the company claims it is already signing multi-million-dollar contracts with global banks, healthcare organizations, and Fortune 200 companies.
“AI is only as good as the data it can access, and Vega addresses a core limitation in traditional security analytics architecture: the need to centralize data before it can be used for threat detection,” Vega explained. “The legacy SIEM model increases infrastructure costs, slows investigations, and reduces visibility across complex environments.”
Vega was founded in 2024 by Shay Sandler, who serves as the company’s CEO, and Eli Rozen, who serves as CTO, and has already scaled to more than 100 employees.
The founders are veterans of Israel’s cyberwarfare unit 8200 and former employees of Intel’s Granulate, a now defunct application performance optimization firm that the chip giant acquired in 2022 for $650 million.
