About ZEST 

ZEST was founded to solve a big challenge within a new market. Its AI-powered risk resolution platform automatically correlates and pinpoints the root cause of cloud risks to craft resolution paths that eliminate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations at scale. The platform offers mitigation and preventative remediation using existing tools and infrastructure such as Code (IaC), empowering security teams to resolve cloud risks before an attacker can take advantage of them.

Why we invested

With enterprises getting increasingly more visibility into their cloud vulnerabilities, Security and DevOps teams are actively searching for a way to remediate at scale. Leveraging Gen-AI, ZEST is building an automated remediation platform to understand and fix the root causes of the organization’s vulnerabilities.

Snir and Uri deeply understand the problem and bring a wealth of experience from their leadership positions in Cider Security (acq. PANW), Varonis, and Akamai.

“Hanaco’s unique and personal approach with its founders was something we were looking for, but didn’t know was possible to achieve in an investor-founder relationship. Hanaco is deeply committed to our personal success, and moreover, has provided professional guidance and support during each and every part of our journey. Hanaco’s candid feedback and hands-on support has made them part of our team from day one. We can truly feel the excitement Hanaco has about our vision, as they are always there for us as an advisor, partner and friend. We are growing fast and building a cybersecurity powerhouse – much of which is possible thanks to Hanaco.”
