- Above Security
Led · Series A · Mar 2026
Above Security positions itself as a next-generation insider threat platform designed for an era where humans and AI agents can both act as insiders. Its platform uses a network of specialized AI investigators and an Arbiter engine that focuses on intent determination by correlating behavioral signals rather than relying on static rules or anomaly detection. The company says this approach reduces false positives, minimizes manual investigation, and produces actionable behavioral timelines for security, legal, and HR teams. Above reports it has been revenue-generating for six months and that enterprise customers are deploying the platform without traditional policy configuration. It has built integrations across identity, endpoint, and SaaS ecosystems and is targeting organizations with more than 1,000 employees operating in SaaS-heavy environments. Above was founded in 2025 by Aviv Nahum and Amir Boldo, and was selected for the 2026 Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator backed by CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA.
