Israeli cybersecurity startup Huskeys launches from stealth with an edge security management platform that adds an agentic layer across multi-cloud and multi-WAF environments.
Israeli cybersecurity startup Huskeys emerged from stealth mode with $8 million in seed funding. Founded in 2025 by Israeli intelligence veterans Itai Gafni and Roy Weisfeld, the Tel Aviv-based company has built an Edge Security Management (ESM) platform that tackles the complexities of modern environments that traditional WAFs cannot handle. Investors include 10D, Alumni Ventures, CCL, Merlin Ventures, SVAngel, The Players Fund, and toDay.
The platform adds an agentic layer atop the entire edge security stack, providing a control pane across multi-cloud and multi-WAF environments. The engine gathers signals, enriches them with environmental context, and analyzes business logic, traffic behavior, and risk. Huskeys orchestrates rules, policies, and configurations, continuously assessing and adapting them to ensure both security optimization and desired business outcomes.
Already adopted by dozens of global organizations, the ESM platform has been tailored for businesses that rely on web traffic as a core revenue driver. CEO Itai Gafni said the platform was built to integrate within minutes and deliver value within hours, not weeks, enabling teams to stop guessing and turn their WAF from a business blocker into a revenue generator. Earlier this year, the startup participated in CrowdStrike’s Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator program.
