Talon Cyber Security announced that it has secured $26 million in seed funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Team8, serial entrepreneur Zohar Zisapel, and leading cyber angel investors.

There were fundamental challenges that could not be addressed using traditional security solutions such as zero trust models or VPN. Talon's unique technology makes it possible to turn an organization's security weaknesses into resilience against cyber attacks without compromising an employee's privacy or productivity.

"The distributed workforce presents a host of new cybersecurity challenges and exposes both large and small organizations to new types of threats that can't be solved using existing solutions," said Ofer Ben-Noon, Talon Cyber Security CEO. "This unique challenge and opportunity led Ohad and me to embark on this exciting journey. Talon is entering the market to provide organizations with maximum flexibility, productivity and visibility while protecting them against cyber attacks that are becoming more and more sophisticated."

Talon was founded by two proven entrepreneurs in the cyber security industry, CEO Ben-Noon and CTO Ohad Bobrov, both alumni of Unit 8200, Israel's elite military technology and intelligence unit.

Bobrov founded Lacoon Mobile Security, a provider of security solutions for mobile phones, which was sold to Check Point in 2015, where he was appointed Vice President of SaaS, Mobility and Endpoint Cyber Technologies.

The seed funding will allow the company to further develop its technology and expand the development team.
