Cybersecurity startup Jazz has secured $61 million in combined Seed and Series A funding, emerging from stealth mode to develop a new approach to AI-driven data protection and data loss prevention (DLP). The investment round was led by Glilot Capital Partners and Team8, with additional participation from Ten Eleven Ventures, Merlin Ventures, Encoded Ventures, and MassMutual Ventures, along with several cybersecurity industry entrepreneurs. Founded in 2024, the company is led by CEO and co-founder Ido Livneh, alongside co-founders Jake Turetsky, Yonatan Zohar, and Noam Issachar. The startup aims to modernize the way organizations protect sensitive information by replacing traditional rule-based security systems with AI-driven contextual analysis. Jazz is developing a platform designed to rethink data loss prevention, a critical cybersecurity category that helps organizations prevent sensitive information such as source code, financial records, product roadmaps, or customer databases from leaving corporate systems. Conventional DLP solutions often rely on rigid rules and generate massive numbers of alerts, making it difficult for security teams to distinguish real threats from normal activity. To address this challenge, Jazz’s technology focuses on analyzing how data is used across an organization, including user behavior, business workflows, and data interactions. At the core of the platform is an autonomous “Agentic Investigator”, which evaluates the context of every data-related event such as who accessed the data, where it was used, and the surrounding workflow to determine whether an activity is legitimate or potentially malicious. The company reports that its approach significantly reduces alert fatigue for security teams. In one enterprise deployment with roughly 5,000 employees, the system reduced daily alerts from tens of thousands to around ten pre-investigated incidents, allowing security teams to focus only on high-risk events. With the newly raised capital, Jazz plans to expand its research and engineering teams, strengthen global go-to-market operations, and scale its enterprise customer base worldwide. The platform is already being used by organizations such as Lemonade, AlphaSense, and CAVA.
