Novee cyber security launches with $51.5 million for AI-powered penetration testing

Per Silicon Angle, Novee Cyber Security has launched with $51.5 million in early-stage funding to advance its AI penetration testing platform. The company aims to address the escalating threat of AI-driven attacks that operate at machine speed, outpacing traditional, human-scale security testing methods.

Founded in May 2025, Novee is developing an AI platform designed to continuously simulate sophisticated hacker tactics. Unlike episodic penetration testing, Novee's system aims to uncover novel vulnerabilities, including complex business logic flaws, by mimicking advanced offensive tradecraft. The company claims its proprietary AI model significantly outperforms leading large language models on web exploitation challenges, achieving up to 90% accuracy.

The funding, led by YL Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Zeev Ventures, will support scaling the platform and accelerating customer adoption. The founding team comprises veteran offensive security leaders from elite Israeli cyber programs.
