Israeli startup Element Security recently emerged from stealth mode with $5 million in funding and what it describes as an advanced Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) solution.

Element Security was founded in 2021 by Daniel Lublin, who will serve as the company’s CEO, and Omer Cohen, who will serve as COO.

The company launched its cloud-based CTEM platform in early 2023 and claims it has already been adopted by global companies in the finance, aviation and automotive sectors. 

Element’s CTEM platform is designed to proactively identify and mitigate risks by continuously discovering and mapping assets, and feeding identified assets into a proprietary exploit engine to assess exploitability. 

The platform’s capabilities also include risk prioritization, actionable remediation instructions, and credential exposure identification. 

Element received funding from Q Fund VC, and angel investors Eddy Shalev, Danny Yamin, and Kobi Rosengarten. 

“In the rapidly evolving digital era, many organizations understand the critical need for proactive defense of their external attack surface. Our platform represents a paradigm shift from reactivity to prevention,” said Lublin. 

“We use advanced attack methodologies to identify and prioritize high-impact exposures in real time. Our automation enables continuous scanning of a wide range of digital assets, far beyond the capabilities of traditional tools. This approach allows the organization to focus on issues that have validated and immediate impact on their security posture,” he added.
