Israel-based cybersecurity startup Cyvore Security has officially launched to secure digital workspaces, especially for remote and hybrid environments.

Founded in August 2024 by Ori Segal, Yiftach Rotem, and Yoav Rotem, the company focuses on protecting communication channels like email, messaging apps, video conferencing tools, and CRM systems.

It has already implemented its solutions in both public and private sectors.

Cyvore raised US$2.5 million in pre-seed funding from 1948VC, Ineffable VC, and angel investors.

The company, with a team of 10 employees, is also in advanced talks with banks and financial firms in the US and Europe.

🧠 Food for thought

1️⃣ Cybercriminals have expanded their attack surface beyond traditional email

The rise of Cyvore illustrates how cybersecurity’s focus is evolving with modern workplace communication patterns.

While 91% of cyber attacks historically began with phishing emails according to Deloitte, attackers are increasingly targeting newer channels like Zoom, Teams, Slack, and WhatsApp—platforms that now handle 55% of business communication as noted in the original article1.

This shift reflects a broader pattern where cybercriminals adapt their techniques to target the actual platforms where valuable business interactions occur, rather than remaining fixated on email-only approaches.

Ori Segal, Cyvore’s CEO, specifically highlighted deepfakes in video calls and voice message manipulation as emerging threats, showing how attackers are exploiting the trust inherent in more personal communication mediums2.

This expansion of the attack surface helps explain why startup investors are willing to back specialized security solutions despite the crowded cybersecurity marketplace.

2️⃣ Cybersecurity spending follows evolving threat patterns

Cyvore’s $2.5 million pre-seed funding reflects broader investment trends in targeted cybersecurity solutions addressing specific emerging threats.

Global cybersecurity spending is projected to exceed $215 billion by 2025 according to data cited by Cyvore, with investments increasingly flowing toward solutions that address modern security gaps rather than general-purpose tools2.
