Brava Security Raises $15 Million to Develop AI Security Platform
Tel Aviv-based Brava Security raised $15 million in a seed funding round led by F2 Venture Capital and Pitango VC.
Founded in 2024 by Israeli intelligence alumni Idan Basre and Itay Gabbay, the startup has now emerged from stealth.
Its AI platform simulates attacker behavior to show how attacks could appear in a customer’s systems and where security defenses might miss them.
This matters because security teams and AI agents cannot respond to threats their systems fail to detect.
Brava says its platform connects to more than 70 sources and destinations without requiring changes to existing security infrastructure.
The company will use the funding to develop its product and expand its market, with research and development in Israel and a commercial team in the US.

What people are saying
The hard part of security was never writing detections. It’s knowing exactly what an attack will look like in a specific environment, across all of its log sources, before it ever happens. That’s the problem our models were built to solve.
You can’t automate a decision based on evidence no one ever proved. We’re solving the problem that comes before AI can make the right decision: making sure the security infrastructure actually sees the threats it’s supposed to detect.
