Company profile
researched Aug 2026Jazz is a cybersecurity company developing a data loss prevention (DLP) platform that aims to replace static, rule-based controls with an AI system that interprets how corporate data is actually used. The platform analyses user behaviour, data interactions, the systems involved and surrounding business processes in order to distinguish legitimate workflows from genuine data risk, and can explain data usage and risk findings in plain language for security teams.
The product targets sensitive information such as product roadmaps, source code, customer databases and financial documents that can leak through routine employee actions — sending files to the wrong destination, pasting confidential material into generative AI tools, or accessing data through unmanaged applications. The company positions this as a response to long-standing complaints that legacy DLP produces high alert volumes and operational friction, causing organisations either to run such systems purely for regulatory compliance or to forgo them entirely.
Jazz was founded in late 2024 by Ido Livneh (CEO), Jake Tuertskey (Chief AI Officer), Noam Issachar (Chief Business Officer) and Yonatan Zohar (CTO), a team of Unit 81 veterans and alumni of Axonius and Laminar. It emerged from stealth in March 2026 with $61m in total funding.
Founding story
Jazz was founded in late 2024 by four co-founders — Ido Livneh (CEO), Jake Tuertskey (Chief AI Officer), Noam Issachar (Chief Business Officer) and Yonatan Zohar (CTO) — who are veterans of Israel's Unit 81 and alumni of cybersecurity companies including Axonius and Laminar. According to Livneh, the team started from the question of how the data-leakage problem should be solved in the AI era, rather than adding AI features to existing approaches.
Business model
Jazz sells an enterprise data-security platform to organisations, reporting paying customers within its first year of operation.
Sales of its DLP platform to enterprise customers; the company reported more than a dozen paying customers in its first year and 15 paying customers as of March 2026.
Traction
As of March 2026, Jazz reported 15 paying customers with additional organisations evaluating the product, deployments across dozens of production environments including Lemonade, AlphaSense and CAVA, and more than a dozen paying customers earned in its first year.
Latest developments
In March 2026 Jazz exited stealth and disclosed $61m in total funding, including a $43m Series A led by Glilot Capital Partners and Team8 with participation from Ten Eleven Ventures (1011vc), MassMutual Ventures, Merlin Ventures, Encoded Ventures and cyber and AI entrepreneurs including founders of Decart, Tenzai and Oligo Security.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history
Market position
Jazz positions itself in the data loss prevention category, which has relied for more than two decades on rules-based detection, seeking to establish itself as a next-generation, AI-native provider of data security technology.
Instead of static rule sets that require constant manual tuning and generate high false-alert volumes, Jazz applies contextual, intent-based analysis; investors and the company contrast this with vendors that add AI layers to legacy DLP approaches. The company cites a deployment where daily alerts fell from tens of thousands of low-confidence detections to roughly ten pre-investigated incidents.
Technology
The platform centres on an autonomous "Agentic Investigator" that learns how an organisation's workflows operate and evaluates each data-related event in context — the user, the data accessed, the system used and the business process involved — to infer intent and separate legitimate activity from data risk. Rather than requiring manually written rules covering every scenario, it operates, in the CEO's description, more like a human researcher that studies the organisation and analyses how information moves inside it, and it surfaces pre-investigated incidents to security teams.
Go-to-market
The company plans to use its new funding to scale globally, accelerate enterprise adoption and expand engineering, research and go-to-market operations, while intending to remain a relatively lean organisation.
Enterprises and their security teams, including large organisations and regulated sectors such as financial institutions; named users include Lemonade, AlphaSense and CAVA, and one cited deployment covers a 5,000-employee organisation.
Geography
The company employs 45 people, most at its development centre in Israel, with the remainder in the United States, and plans global expansion.
History
The company was established in late 2024 and operated in stealth before announcing itself publicly on 10 March 2026 alongside $61m in disclosed funding, comprising an $18m seed round and a $43m Series A led by Glilot Capital Partners and Team8. At the time of the announcement it reported 15 paying customers, dozens of production deployments and 45 employees.
