AI agents plus human security experts for faster threat detection and response.
About Daylight
Daylight is a New York-based cybersecurity company that combines an AI-native security platform with human security expertise to detect, investigate and respond to cyber threats. Its platform, Aura, uses AI agents to monitor security systems, investigate suspicious activity and assist in responses, while security engineers handle decisions that need human judgment.
Customers can use Daylight as a fully managed security service, alongside their own internal teams, or with Daylight engineers deployed directly into their operations. The company says its systems detect threats within seconds and respond to and contain incidents within minutes, up to ten times faster than traditional managed security providers.
Daylight was founded by Hagai Shapira and Eldad Rudich, who met while serving in an elite Israeli military intelligence unit and later held senior roles at cybersecurity company Torq. In November 2026 the company raised an $80 million Series B led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, bringing its total funding to $120 million. Its customers include Lovable, LastPass, Rogo, dLocal and Miro.
