Google selected 11 Israeli and Israeli-founded cybersecurity startups for its inaugural AI-centric security program, the Gemini Startup Forum: Cybersecurity, which chose 33 startups globally advancing AI-driven security technologies. These startups will collaborate with specialists from Google DeepMind, Google Cloud, and Wiz, gaining access to infrastructure, tools, and AI capabilities to combat emerging threats. The program categorizes companies into six areas: AI agent security and governance, application security, cloud and infrastructure protection, endpoint security, automation of security operations, and specialized security services. Israeli firms focused on securing AI agents include Capsule Security, which provides runtime protection and behavioral analytics for autonomous AI agents; Onyx Security, building an AI control platform to manage and supervise autonomous agents; and Glow, which safeguards enterprise ecosystems through a workspace protection platform. Other Israeli startups, such as Alt Security, are developing an autonomous penetration testing platform powered by AI agents.
