RAVEN.IO Emerges from Stealth with $20M to Prevent Cyberattacks from AI-Generated Exploits

RAVEN.IO, a cybersecurity company that protects applications at runtime and prevents attacks in real time, announced it has secured $20 million in funding, enabling the company to accelerate product development, expand go-to-market activities in the United States, and grow the company’s engineering and research teams.

Norwest led the seed round, with a post-seed investment led by Elron Ventures. RedSeed, UpWest, SentinelOne, Jibe Ventures, Dnipro VC, Unusual Ventures, CyberFuture, and Descope CEO Slavik Markovich also participated in the seed round.

Raven’s platform, which analyzes how code behaves within the running application, takes a fundamentally different approach from traditional tools that monitor applications externally or rely on known vulnerability signatures such as common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), the company said.

The platform is already deployed in production with 11 enterprise customers, primarily large insurance and financial organizations that are highly sensitive to application layer and supply chain attacks.

According to the company, the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated exploits has fundamentally changed the threat landscape. Attackers can now weaponize new vulnerabilities faster than the traditional CVE system can identify, validate and publish them, creating a widening gap where organizations are exposed long before patches or signatures exist.

Raven was built for this new reality, focusing on what occurs within the applications themselves, where many advanced attacks take place. The company’s technology observes the application’s internal execution paths in real time.

By breaking down runtime behavior into execution chains and generating a unique behavioral “fingerprint” for each path, Raven can detect malicious deviations instantly, even when no known vulnerability exists. This runtime behavioral analysis enables organizations to detect and stop attacks in real time, eliminating reliance on CVE publication cycles, the company said.

By analyzing code behavior from inside the running application, Raven can detect and stop similar exploitation attempts in real time without inserting instrumentation or slowing execution, even when the underlying vulnerability remains unknown.

Raven’s technology has been registered in three U.S. patents.

“In an era where AI tools can identify and exploit vulnerabilities at unprecedented scale and speed, organizations can no longer rely solely on signatures or on CVEs published after the fact. We founded RAVEN.IO to enable organizations to precisely prevent attacks and to truly understand, in real time, what is happening inside their applications, without compromising performance or business continuity,” said Roi Abitboul, co-founder and CEO, RAVEN.IO.
