Huskeys Raises $27M Series A for Edge Security Management Platform
Huskeys, an Israeli cybersecurity startup, has secured $27 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Blackstone Innovations Investments, with participation from Merlin Ventures, Okta Ventures, Bright Pixel Capital, SV Angel, Skinos Ventures, Zscaler Ventures, and notable individuals including Robert Herjavec and Eran Reshef.
Founded in 2025 by Israeli intelligence veterans Itai Gafni (CEO) and Roy Weisfeld (CTO), both alumni of Unit 8200, Huskeys has developed an Edge Security Management (ESM) platform, defining a new category of internet security. The platform adds an agentic AI layer atop the entire edge security stack, providing a unified control plane across multi-cloud and multi-WAF environments.
The engine gathers signals, enriches them with environmental context, and analyzes business logic, traffic behavior, and risk to orchestrate rules, policies, and configurations. It continuously adapts to ensure security optimization and desired business outcomes.
Huskeys reports adoption by dozens of global organizations, including TikTok. The company also participated in CrowdStrike's Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator program.
The new capital will be used to accelerate product development and expand market reach, as Huskeys aims to establish its ESM category in the cybersecurity landscape.
