Bursting onto the cybersecurity scene, Israeli startup Backline—a revolutionary autonomous security remediation platform—has officially emerged from stealth, armed with $9 million in Seed funding. Led by StageOne Ventures, with backing from Evolution Equity Partners and Gradient, this game-changing investment fuels Backline’s mission to transform enterprise security. Its fleet of AI-powered agents operates at an unprecedented scale, automatically eliminating vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, slashing security backlogs that overwhelm organizations. Already making waves across enterprises, Backline’s agents seamlessly and safely deploy verified code and configuration changes—working in perfect sync with security and engineering teams to redefine cyber resilience.
Founded in 2024, Backline’s autonomous security remediation platform deploys a fleet of AI agents that work together to tackle this backlog at scale. The agents step into the shoes of security and software engineers, analyzing security findings, gathering necessary context, determining optimal fixes for the specific environment, and implementing verified code and configuration changes that customers can trust. The platform is designed for autonomous operation while maintaining full visibility and control — teams can choose their preferred level of oversight and automation based on their specific needs and requirements.
The sheer volume of security vulnerabilities is overwhelming businesses. A staggering number of new vulnerabilities are emerging, exemplified by the over forty thousand Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) reported in 2024 alone – roughly one every 13 minutes. While current security tools can detect and prioritize these vulnerabilities, this approach isn’t sustainable. Organizations simply don’t have the resources to remediate even their most critical security weaknesses.

“Engineering teams spend over 20% of their time fixing security issues, but that barely covers the most critical ones,” said Maor Goldberg, co-founder and CEO of Backline. “They wake up each day to hundreds of new issues — not because anything changed overnight, but simply due to newly discovered vulnerabilities or weaknesses in cloud services they are using. This has led to endless prioritization and perpetually growing backlogs of ‘lower-priority’ issues. The frustrating reality is that most breaches stem from known security issues — often simple to fix, but buried deep in backlogs that developers, DevOps, and platform engineers will never find time to address.”
