Aryon Security Debuts With Platform to Prevent Cloud Misconfigurations

Tel Aviv-based Aryon Security has stepped out of stealth with $9 million seed funding raised from Viola Ventures and Blumberg Capital, and with support from angel investors Shlomo Kramer, Maty Siman, and Rubi Aronashvili.

Aryon offers a Cloud Security Enforcement Platform based on the idea that prevention is better than cure. The purpose is simple: prevent misconfigurations and forgotten encryption before data is deployed to the cloud. The alternative, detect security issues after deployment, is costly, time consuming, difficult – and tempts fate.

Aryon was founded by Ron Arbel (CEO), Ariel Litmanovich (CTO), and Yair Ladizhensky (VP R&D). All three are alumni of Matzov, an information security unit within the C4I Directorate of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). And all have been involved with Israel’s Project Nimbus – a $7.2 billion project to develop a secure national cloud for both government and private sector organizations.

The Aryon founders’ involvement with Nimbus highlighted the need and difficulty in balancing security, usability, and business continuity for cloud deployments, which in turn led to the founding of Aryon and development of the Cloud Security Enforcement Platform.
