Vega is an AI-native cybersecurity company that overturns the legacy SIEM model by performing threat detection wherever enterprise data already resides instead of forcing customers to centralize logs. Its platform integrates directly into cloud services, data lakes, and on-prem storage to deliver faster, cheaper incident response at scale. Co-founder and CEO Shay Sandler—an alumnus of the Israeli military’s cyber unit and of Granulate, which Intel bought for $650 million—emphasizes a plug-and-play experience that can be adopted within minutes by large, complex organizations. The two-year-old, 100-person company has already landed multi-million-dollar contracts with banks, healthcare providers, and Fortune 500 clients such as Instacart. Customers are drawn by Vega’s promise to lower costs, simplify operations, and handle exploding cloud data volumes more effectively than dominant player Splunk. With new capital, the company will deepen its AI-native security operations suite, expand its go-to-market team, and push into global markets. The latest funding values Vega at $700 million and lifts its total capital raised to $185 million.
