Gem Security, a New York- and Tel Aviv-based startup that is building a cloud threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR) platform, is coming out of stealth today and announced an $11 million seed funding round led by Team8. With support for all of the major cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes, Gem Security promises to provide security teams with a single streamlined tool to discover all their cloud assets and the real-time threat detection and contextualized alerts to ensure that they remain secure, in part by automating a large part of a company’s cloud security operations.

The company was co-founded by CEO Arie Zilberstein, CTO Ron Konigsberg and VP of Product Ofir Brukner. Like so many other Israeli security startup founders, the team previously held roles in Israel’s Unit 8200, as well as at cybersecurity company Sygnia. At Sygnia, Zilberstein told me, the team noticed that attacks in the cloud were becoming more common and that these cloud attacks were quite hard for security teams to detect and contain.
