Boarding Pass
Cyvore emerges from stealth to secure digital workspaces
The company has raised a total of $2.5 million to address the escalating threats in modern communication channels like Zoom, Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, and more.
Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity startup Cyvore Security has emerged from stealth mode, unveiling a new approach to securing digital workspaces. Founded in August 2024 by CEO Ori Segal, Yiftach Rotem (CPO), and Yoav Rotem (CTO), the company is backed with an initial investment of $2.5 million from 1948VC, Ineffable VC, and angel investors. Cyvore aims to address the escalating threats in modern communication channels.
Companies today rely on remote communication more than ever due to remote and hybrid work. Together with the rise of LLMs, phishing and fraud remain among the most sophisticated techniques exploited by malicious actors.
“In addition to traditional phishing attacks, we’ve seen a rise in new threats during video calls, using deepfakes and psychological manipulation and voice messages to impersonate senior executives and directly target employees,” said Segal. “Over the past two years, 34 billion attacks have been launched daily, with a more than 1,300% increase in malicious messages and credential phishing, while 77% of cybersecurity professionals reporting being targeted by phishing attacks.”

What is the need for the product?
Over the past two years, 34 billion attacks have been launched daily, with a more than 1,000% increase in malicious messages and credential phishing.
77% of cybersecurity professionals report being targeted by phishing attacks and with 55% of business communication now occurring outside of email, CISOs can no longer afford to ignore these alarming growing threats and are required to implement solutions to protect the company's overall communications space.
How is it changing the market?
Cyvore's unique technology enables a broad view of sophisticated attacks and a deep and innovative understanding that enables detection and prevention across the entire digital workspace.
Cyvore engine “Secret Sauce” contains three main technologies:
- Optical Phishing Recognition: An AI-powered visual scanning that mimics human visual perception to detect and stop zero-day phishing threats.
- Threat Intelligence Autonomous Operation: A proactive threat intelligence technology that continuously monitors cybercriminal activity to detect compromised credentials, leaked enterprise data, and interconnected attack campaigns.
- Data Analysis NLU: An NLU-powered analysis engine that detects fraud schemes and social engineering attacks by identifying psychological manipulation tactics and subtle behavioral cues signaling potential security breaches.
How big is the market for the product and who are its main customers?
By 2030, our target market will be worth ~$40B with a 10.5% annual growth rate from 2023 - 2030.
Our primary target customers are companies and organizations in the financial, healthcare, and high-tech sectors. In 2024 alone, phishing attacks cost these industries over $20 billion.
Does the product exist already? If not - at what stage is it and when is it expected to hit the market?
We have successfully deployed our solution in both public and private companies and are now in advanced stages with leading banks and financial firms across the US and Europe.
Who are the main competitors in this sector and how big are they?
The field of Workspace security is an emerging domain within cyber defense. Our company is a pioneer in securing the diverse communication interfaces used by modern organizations. As such, this space remains a relatively untapped "blue ocean." Most existing solutions today are focused primarily on compliance rather than on real-time detection and prevention of sophisticated attacks.
The one exception is email security, where a number of established players offer protection. However, as phishing techniques evolve, many malicious emails continue to bypass traditional defense systems. Our technology stands out by accurately detecting and blocking these advanced threats, even where other solutions fall short.
What is the added value that the founders bring to the company and the product?
Ori Segal, Co-founder and CEO: Serial entrepreneur, former CEO & Founder of MUGO (acquired in 2020). Former Head of Business Development at EY.
Yoav Rotem, Co-founder and CTO: Software engineer and cybersecurity expert, specializing in AI-driven security solutions.
Yiftach Rotem, Co-founder and CPO: Cybersecurity researcher with expertise in threat detection, phishing, and fraud prevention.
