Act Security Emerges from Stealth to Fight the Patch Problem

Act Security, a Tel-Aviv-based cybersecurity firm founded by the team behind Medigate, has emerged from stealth with $60 million in funding to address the growing problem of excessive cloud access sprawl and the difficulty vendors face in keeping pace with AI-discovered vulnerabilities. The company’s platform focuses on reducing the attack surface by limiting access for both humans and AI agents, rather than directly patching vulnerabilities, and is designed to help organizations achieve compliance with standards like NIST 800-53 and PCI DSS.
