Gambit Security launches with $61M to enhance data recovery

As reported by Silicon Angle, data protection startup Gambit Security Ltd. has officially launched, securing $61 million in funding from investors including Spark Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and Cyberstarts. This capital infusion, raised over two rounds within the past 12 months, is earmarked for expanding go-to-market teams and accelerating product development.

Gambit Security addresses the complex and often error-prone process of recovering application data after an outage. Their artificial intelligence platform analyzes data from infrastructure, backup tools, and cybersecurity software to proactively identify and resolve issues that could lead to data loss.

Key features include ensuring data is backed up frequently enough, verifying the immutability of backup files against ransomware, and scanning Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scripts for potential failures or drift. The platform presents findings on a dashboard with remediation suggestions and a resilience score, aiming to simplify data protection workflows for administrators.
