Stealth mode is weird. In the world of startups, when you decide to start a company you develop your product in secret. Well, that ends now.
You're going to hear a lot about AI Agents in security in 2025. Mainly you'll hear vendors saying "we'll use AI to replace L1 SOC Analysts."
We think that's wrong.
Instead, we believe that we as an industry have been approaching the repetitive, mundane – yet essential – toil work backwards. For a decade we've tried to make people more efficient at tasks that were never meant for humans. We call that "non-human work."
To my knowledge no one gets into cybersecurity to spend 70% of their time doing the same tasks every day. Instead, highly-trained cyber professionals want to focus on hunting, complex investigations, and doing the strategic work that require human ingenuity, creativity, and expertise.
In short, we want to leverage AI agents to let people do human work.
When Yonatan and I were thinking about starting a new company, we approached it differently than many founders: looking at the promise of GenAI we wanted to know how the attackers were going to leverage this new technology. We quickly realized that attackers were going to move from the low and slow to the fast and furious. In other words, the capabilities that were previously only accessible to nation states would quickly be in the hands of anyone.
With cybersecurity teams already struggling to keep up at current attack volumes, we saw a situation where simply adding more people and point solutions wouldn't move the needle. Instead, we have to rethink our entire approach.
When we started 7AI, we wanted to test our thesis: that a swarm of AI agents could take on small pieces of what people do today. Think of it as a team of experts in their tasks. If we could build an ecosystem of AI agents – small pieces of LLMs with a specific mission and access to tools – could this approach totally transform the way security teams see exponentially better security outcomes?
The answer: yes.
Since founding the company in February 2024, I've continued to be shocked by how quickly our team has been able to build a system that can transform how our design partners spend their time. Instead of spending their time on repetitive work to respond to alerts, our early customers are able to start their work with full context, drastically fewer false positives, and the results of full investigations – all with full documentation of how the agents came to their conclusions.
I think Dr. Yonesey Núñez put it best:
“7AI represents the future of agentic security, where AI agents work as an extension of our teams, delivering not just efficiency but foresight. By enriching alerts, conducting comprehensive investigations, and providing actionable insights, this platform transforms cybersecurity from reactive defense to strategic offense. The promise of 7AI lies in its ability to empower security teams to focus on systemic root causes while the AI handles the complexity. It’s a glimpse into a future where cybersecurity is not just smarter but anticipatory, adaptive, and deeply aligned with organizational resilience.”
We are incredibly excited to launch 7AI today, and want to thank our many design partners that gave us their time and trust to build our Agentic Security Platform. Feel free to request a demo and we're happy to show you what we've built. The full press release is below:
BOSTON, Feb. 5, 2025 -- The agentic security revolution is here. Today, 7AI announced the launch of the industry's first agentic security platform, redefining security operations by offloading essential "non-human work" to autonomous AI agents. Unlike AI SOC analysts, chatbots, or co-pilots, 7AI's system of specialized AI agents handles repetitive security tasks—quickly, comprehensively, and autonomously—freeing highly-trained cybersecurity professionals to focus on high-value work that improves security outcomes.
In every cybersecurity team, employees spend time on essential work that doesn't require human creativity: triaging alerts, enriching signals, correlating telemetry, searching for known threats, and more. These tasks are vital but time-consuming, making them ideal for AI agents.
7AI transforms this dynamic by deploying autonomous swarming agents to handle non-human work at scale:
"Our mission isn't to make people more efficient at non-human work—it's to give tedious but necessary tasks to AI agents that are faster, more consistent, and infinitely scalable," said Lior Div, Co-Founder and CEO of 7AI. "By offloading these essential tasks, 7AI empowers security teams to focus on high-value priorities that move the needle and improve their overall security."
"We're redrawing the line between what needs human brilliance and what machines can handle in security," said Yonatan Striem Amit, Co-Founder and CTO at 7AI. "By letting smart agents take care of the daily grind, we free our minds to do what they do best - tackle the wild, complex challenges that only human creativity can crack. We don't just create AI solutions - we embody them in everything we do. From the way our systems tackle security use cases, harness enterprise insights, how we weave together threat intelligence and even how we write our software - every thread of our work is woven with AI, creating a tapestry of innovation that transforms how security operates."
In an era where attackers leverage generative AI to overwhelm defenders, security teams are stretched thin. 7AI rises to the challenge by automating and scaling across diverse use cases, including phishing investigations, threat hunting, and more.
Customers have seen immediate benefits:
"7AI represents the future of agentic security, where AI agents work as an extension of our teams, delivering not just efficiency but foresight," said Dr. Yonesy Núñez, Cybersecurity Innovator. "By enriching alerts, conducting comprehensive investigations, and providing actionable insights, this platform transforms cybersecurity from reactive defense to strategic offense. The promise of 7AI lies in its ability to empower security teams to focus on systemic root causes while the AI handles the complexity. It's a glimpse into a future where cybersecurity is not just smarter but anticipatory, adaptive, and deeply aligned with organizational resilience."
Founded in 2024 by Lior Div and Yonatan Striem-Amit, creators of Cybereason, and supported by $36 million in seed funding from Greylock Partners, Spark Capital, and CRV, 7AI is already running in production in dozens of companies today. In less than one year, the company has gone from concept to general availability, earning the trust of innovative security teams across industries.
Asheem Chandna, General Partner at Greylock and Board Director at 7AI, said, "Agentic security represents the next era of cybersecurity. 7AI has shown how autonomous AI agents can transform the way defenders operate, moving the industry from reactive to proactive defense and giving teams the freedom to focus on the work that truly matters."
