Security Startup Secures $38M to Address Gap in Enterprise Security Stack Monitoring
Fig Security, a startup founded by veterans of Israeli cyber and intelligence units 8200 and Mamram, has launched from stealth mode with 38 million dollars in combined seed and Series A funding. The company addresses critical visibility challenges in enterprise security infrastructure, where complex tool ecosystems create detection and response gaps.The platform monitors enterprise security stacks by tracing data flows from sources through data pipelines and data lakes to security orchestration and automation response platforms. When changes at any point affect detection or response capabilities, the system generates real-time alerts for security teams. This approach enables organizations to proactively identify configuration drift and potential detection failures before security incidents occur.Fig's technology samples data as it flows through various infrastructure tools, understanding how information transforms through the pipeline. This creates a data lineage mapping that identifies how upstream changes could compromise downstream security tools. The platform integrates with data links and Security Information and Event Management systems, supporting diverse security tool environments.The company's perspective centers on detection and response capabilities as the authoritative source of truth, working backward to ensure data quality supports proper alerting. Rather than forward-tracing data to identify endpoints, Fig back-traces from detection rules to verify data pipeline integrity and alert security teams to inconsistencies in real time.Enterprise security teams face increasing complexity as AI-powered tools proliferate across organizations. CISOs report uncertainty about detection reliability, questioning how they can trust AI-generated security recommendations without confidence in underlying data quality. Fig addresses this gap by providing continuous validation of security tool effectiveness.The company has acquired enterprise customers in low double-digits since launching eight months ago, with plans to expand to 50-100 customers by year-end. Funding will support North American market expansion and triple engineering and go-to-market headcount.Investors include Team8 and Ten Eleven Ventures, along with security industry veterans including Doug Merritt, former CEO of Splunk, Rene Bonvanie, former CMO of Palo Alto Networks, and founders of Demisto and Siemplify. CEO Gal Shafir previously led Google Cloud Security's global architecture team.
