Twine Security Raises $12M Seed Funding for 'Digital Cyber Employees'

Twine, a cybersecurity startup based in Israel and the US, has launched with $12 million in funding to develop AI-driven "digital cyber employees." These AI-powered tools are designed to automate cybersecurity tasks, addressing the industry's critical talent shortage.

Twine's platform introduces virtual digital employees to work alongside human teams, taking on repetitive and time-consuming tasks. By automating these processes, organizations can redirect their limited cybersecurity resources toward more strategic and complex challenges, enhancing overall efficiency and effectiveness. Alex, the first digital employee, is specifically designed for identity management, a core area of cybersecurity that involves managing access to systems and sensitive information. Alex identifies potential vulnerabilities and executes proactive measures to prevent unauthorized access, reducing the workload on IT and cybersecurity teams.

Their vision is to create AI digital cybersecurity employees that can grasp each organization's unique needs and allow end-to-end cyber execution, starting with identity management.

Twine's launch highlights the growing intersection of AI and cybersecurity, as companies seek innovative solutions to address the industry's talent shortage and evolving threats. By leveraging AI-driven digital employees, Twine aims to enhance the capabilities of cybersecurity teams, allowing them to focus on more strategic challenges and improve overall security outcomes.

The seed round was led by Ten Eleven Ventures and Dell Technologies Capital, with participation from angel investors and Wiz.
