Cybersecurity startup BlinkOps, which develops a platform of Security Micro Agents, has raised $50 million in a Series B round led by O.G. Venture Partners, with participation from Vertex Growth, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Hetz Ventures. The latest round brings the company’s total funding to $90 million.
BlinkOps was founded in 2021 by Gil Barak (CEO) and Zion Zatlavi, who previously founded Secdo, acquired by Palo Alto Networks for $100 million in 2018.
In an interview with Calcalist, BlinkOps CEO Gil Barak explained the company’s vision: “We founded the company to enable modern automation for all areas of cybersecurity. Fortunately, we started in 2021 and grew in parallel with advances in artificial intelligence. Most cybersecurity solutions rely on a single, large agent that tries to do everything and ends up doing nothing particularly well. We realized there was a better way: build a large-scale operations platform that supports thousands of small, specialized agents, each focused on doing one thing extremely well.”

BlinkOps micro-agents can also communicate with each other to handle complex workflows. The platform includes 30,000+ integrations, 10,000+ workflow templates and 500+ security agents.
The platform is already in use by some of the world’s largest organizations across various industries. BlinkOps employs about 100 people, with half based in Israel and the other half in the United States.
