Aim Security
In January 2024 Aim Security announced a $10 million seed round led by YL Ventures. The release said: "Aim Security was founded by cybersecurity veterans Matan Getz, CEO and Adir Gruss, CTO who pioneered the use and adoption of AI and big data tools in the IDF's elite intelligence Unit 8200."[1] Ctech reported in 2025 that Aim had about 30 employees and had raised $28 million, from investors including Canaan, YL Ventures and CCL. It said Akamai and Check Point had also tried to buy the company. The deal was the first acquisition by Cato Networks, founded by Shlomo Kramer.[2]
