Funding and strategic investment

Cybersecurity startup Fig Security has announced the successful completion of a $30 million Series A funding round. The investment was led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with significant participation from Team8, the venture group that previously headed the company’s $8 million seed round. The funding attracted high-profile industry veterans, including former Splunk CEO Doug Merritt and former Palo Alto Networks CMO Rene Bonvanie. The involvement of the founders of Demisto and Siemplify further underscores the industry's confidence in Fig's mission to address critical weaknesses in modern security operations.

Expertise from Siemplify and Unit 8200

The company was founded in 2025 by a team of elite Israeli cybersecurity professionals. CEO Gal Shafir, CPO Nir Loya Dahan, and CTO Roy Haimof are veterans of Israel’s Unit 8200 and Mamram. Shafir previously held leadership roles at Siemplify through its $500 million acquisition by Google, where he later led global security architecture for Google Cloud Security. Loya Dahan and Haimof also bring extensive experience from product and engineering leadership at Cymulate and Siemplify. This collective background provides Fig with a deep understanding of the operational challenges inherent in large-scale Security Operations Centers (SOC).

Focus on operational resilience

Fig Security differentiates itself by targeting the "resilience of operational data security infrastructure." Rather than focusing on individual threats, the startup identifies and fixes gaps in the systems that serve as an organization's cybersecurity backbone. The goal is to ensure that the security architecture remains functional at all times, preventing outages or blind spots that occur when different security products fail to work together. By looking at the organization holistically, Fig aims to bridge the coordination gaps that often lead to security failures in complex enterprise environments.
