Malanta raises $10M to advance its pre-attack prevention platform

Cybersecurity startup Malanta has launched with $10 million in seed funding. The company is building a platform to neutralize threats before they happen. Traditional security tools react to breaches after they occur. Malanta aims to shift this approach from reactive to proactive. Its platform identifies and disrupts threats before an attack can launch. The system uses an AI-powered intelligence engine to scan global internet activity. It searches for early warning signs called Indicators of Pre-Attack. These signals include malicious domain registrations or phishing kit development. This method allows security teams to act weeks before traditional indicators of compromise appear. The platform provides visibility within minutes of onboarding. Malanta uses neural exposure mapping to connect external threats to a company's specific digital assets. It then ranks imminent risks and provides actionable steps for security teams. The company was founded in 2024 by former employees of CyberArk Software. The team has decades of combined experience in defensive and offensive security. Cardumen Capital led the funding round. The Group Ventures. and several angel investors also participated, including CyberArk founder Udi Mokady. The technology is already used by organizations like the Israel National Cyber Directorate.
