Cypago is an Israeli company that sells software to automate cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance (GRC) work. It was co-founded by Arik Solomon, formerly of EY, and Yahav Peri, whom TechCrunch described as "previously an officer in the Israel Defense Forces intelligence corps" (Intelligence Corps).[1] The company's own website says it was "founded in early 2020" by "military cybersecurity veterans".[2]
Founders and military intelligence
Sources differ on which unit Yahav Peri served in. TechCrunch called him a former officer in the Israel Defense Forces intelligence corps (Intelligence Corps),[1] and a company press release published by Dark Reading described him as "a former officer in the IDF Intelligence Corps".[3] A promotional article in the Haaretz Labels section, which Haaretz marks as written "in collaboration with Cypago", described him as "a former officer in the IDF Unit 81" (Unit 81), who "led and commanded development teams and classified projects, including the elite cybersecurity IDF training ARAM".[4] The company's website currently lists Peri as co-founder and CEO.[2]
Funding
In August 2023 Cypago announced a $13 million round (plus $2 million in debt) led by Entrée Capital, Axon Ventures and Jump Capital.[1] The Dark Reading release named angel investors including Ariel Maislos, Professor Ehud Weinstein and Ofir Shalvi.[3]
