ZEST was founded to tackle one of the biggest challenges in cloud security: resolving risks at scale. Its AI-powered risk resolution platform automatically correlates and pinpoints the root cause of cloud vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, then generates resolution paths to eliminate them. By integrating with existing tools and infrastructure, such as Code (IaC), Zest enables security teams to resolve cloud risks before an attacker can exploit them.

Why we invested?

As enterprises gain greater visibility into their cloud vulnerabilities, Security and DevOps teams face the pressing challenge of remediation at scale. ZEST addresses this need with a Gen-AI-powered platform that identifies risks and also automates root-cause analysis and remediation. Founders Snir and Uri deeply understand the problem and bring a wealth of experience from their leadership positions at Cider Security (acq. PANW), Varonis, and Akamai.
