Elite Cyber Veterans Launch Blast Security With $10M to Turn Cloud Detection Into Prevention

Tel Aviv, Israel, November 24th, 2025/CyberNewsWire/--Blast is introducing a new operating model for cloud security with a first-of-its-kind Preemptive Cloud Defense Platform, replacing reactive response with continuous prevention.

Blast Security, a cybersecurity startup founded by industry veterans from Solebit (acquired by Mimecast) and elite IDF units, today announced its launch from stealth and a $10 million seed round co-led by 10D and MizMaa Ventures.

Blast is redefining how organizations eliminate cloud risks using preventive guardrails to ensure environments remain secure by design. The company is already working with numerous global enterprises to secure their production environments, preventing cloud risk by over 90% and significantly shrinking the blast radius.

Enterprises operating at multi-cloud scale face relentless change and compounding complexity accelerated by the growth of AI. Blast’s Preemptive Cloud Defense Platform marks an inflection point for organizations shifting from reactive alert-chasing to proactive, continuously enforced prevention.

It turns native cloud control into a preventive defense fabric, where every change is modelled, tested, and enforced safely. This approach ensures prevention never breaks production or slows innovation.

The lightbulb moment for Blast’s founding team - Boris Vaynberg, Ido Bukra, and Roi Panai - came when they were called to reserve duty to lead a national-level cloud security project.

During this critical time, the team realized that security must match the cloud’s speed, scale, and complexity with prevention measures-built in. Blast’s founding team brings over a decade of collaborative experience - their first company, Solebit, was acquired by Mimecast in their largest acquisition.

Blast’s engineers are cloud security veterans committed to developing game-changing, practical solutions that prevent risks before they arise and keep cloud environments inherently secure.
