Founded in 2024 by Cybereason co-founders Lior Div and Yonatan Striem-Amit, we came out of stealth in February 2025 to take on the non-human work of the SOC. Our platform pairs a federated SIEM with AI agents that detect, investigate, respond, and hunt, plus dedicated threat hunting and threat intelligence, with humans on the loop. Backed by $166 million in total funding from investors including Index Ventures and Blackstone, we're building the AI foundation for security operations in the agentic era, and we're still early. That's the appeal: you'll join at a pivotal stage where your work shapes what 7AI becomes, alongside security veterans who've built this before. Our culture runs on respect, collaboration, and a shared bar for excellence, all pointed at one goal, delivering real outcomes for the customers who trust us to defend them. ## Overview You'll take ownership of information security and information systems, building the programs, policies, and team behind them. You'll lead security operations, compliance, and incident response, and work across the company so our systems, data, and people meet the standards we hold ourselves to. This is a foundational role: you're building the function from the ground up, not maintaining what's already there. ## What You'll Do - Maintain and improve the company's information security practices, tools, and procedures. - Monitor internal systems for vulnerabilities or breaches, and lead incident response. - Develop, implement, and enforce security policies and standards across the organization. - Lead compliance initiatives for frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and GDPR. - Run internal risk assessments, coordinate third-party audits, and track findings to resolution. - Own identity and access management, applying least-privilege principles across the company. - Run security training and awareness programs for employees across every department. - Assess and manage the security posture of third-party vendors and cloud services. - Work with engineering and IT to build security into systems and workflows from the start. - Track emerging threats, technologies, and regulatory changes that affect the company's security posture. - Build and lead a team to execute and scale security and information systems work. - Drive automation across the company to raise security maturity in both product and information security. - Partner with platform teams to support the company's growth. ## What We're Looking For - 7+ years of hands-on experience in information security, IT security, or a related field. - Familiarity with common security and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, etc.). - Strong understanding of modern IT infrastructure: cloud services, SaaS, access controls, security architecture. - Excellent communication skills. You can translate complex security concepts for non-technical teams. - Experience managing teams and driving cross-functional projects. ## Nice to Have - Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer). - Exposure to secure software development practices (DevSecOps, secure SDLC, etc.). - Experience in security operations and/or incident response. - Experience in a startup or small company environment. ## About Seven AI ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: 7AI is the first agentic security platform that uses swarming AI agents to autonomously ingest alerts, perform investigations, and orchestrate remediation across security operations. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: Boston, Massachusetts, United States (with presence in Israel) - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Lior Div (CEO & Co-Founder) and Yonatan Striem Amit (CTO & Co-Founder) ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Cybersecurity, specifically AI-driven Security Operations Center (SOC) automation and agentic security. - Target customers: B2B, large enterprises and mid-market organizations with in-house security teams (SOC analysts, threat hunters, CISOs). - Mission or purpose statement: "Put swarming AI agents in the hands of defenders to offload non-human work, shift people up, and finally focus on achieving the security outcomes that teams have been searching for." [7ai.com/company](https://7ai.com/company) ## Products & Services - **7AI Agentic Security Platform**: A suite of AI agents that handle the full lifecycle of security operations. - **Detection**: Intelligent alert processing that triages, enriches, and correlates multi-source alerts, eliminating up to 95–99% of false positives. - **Investigation**: AI agents autonomously enrich data, query environments, and form context-aware conclusions with full evidence, reducing investigation time from hours to minutes. - **Response**: Automated remediation actions (isolate endpoints, disable accounts, block IPs) driven by investigation conclusions, with human-in-the-loop options. - **Hunting**: Proactive threat hunting powered by cross-system correlation, IOC extraction, and AI-suggested hunt leads. - **Cases**: Unified incident management that auto-populates cases with investigation findings and maintains a full audit trail. - **Enterprise Insights**: Real-time dashboards and board-ready reports tracking mean time to investigate, resolution rates, and threat trends.
