Luxembourg-based Osavul Secures $10 Million to Bolster Hybrid Threat Detection Capabilities
Hybrid risk intelligence company Osavul has just landed a significant funding boost of $10 million (€8.5 million) in a Series A round, led by 33N Ventures. The injection brings the company’s total funding to approximately €12 million and is set to fuel further development of its AI-powered platform for identifying hostile intent across cyber, physical, and information domains.
At the heart of Osavul’s offering lies an AI-driven system that analyzes open and privileged data to pinpoint potential threats before they materialize. This involves mapping identified intent against a customer’s people, facilities, and supply chains – a crucial aspect of hybrid threat detection in today’s complex security landscape. The platform’s assessments are rigorously evidence-traced and reviewed by analysts, with the added benefit of being deployable on-premises within sovereign infrastructure to safeguard sensitive data.
Osavul was initially conceived during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and has since been adopted by government, defense, and security institutions in over 10 countries. The company is also a key player in NATO’s Information Environment Assessment Capability. With this fresh funding, Osavul plans to enhance its AI capabilities, expand into the enterprise sector, and deepen its work with governments and defense organizations.
Hybrid threats – which combine cyberattacks, sabotage, espionage, and information manipulation – have become increasingly prevalent, particularly among state-linked actors. According to Osavul, more than 150 such incidents have been recorded across Europe since 2022 alone. “Hybrid attacks are no longer a government problem alone,” said Dmytro Plieshakov, co-founder and CEO of Osavul. “The companies running energy, airports, ports, transport, and finance now face the same adversaries, usually without the means to see them coming.”
This influx of funding underscores the growing recognition within the industry that hybrid threats require an equally sophisticated approach to detection and mitigation. As such, it’s crucial for organizations to stay vigilant and adapt their security strategies to address these evolving risks.
So what can you do to better prepare your organization against hybrid threats? First and foremost, be aware of the indicators of potential hostile intent – unusual patterns in network traffic or unexplained changes in system behavior, for example. Second, invest in robust threat intelligence capabilities that can provide real-time insights into emerging threats. Finally, consider integrating AI-powered solutions like Osavul’s platform to bolster your organization’s defenses against hybrid attacks. By taking a proactive and informed approach to security, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the complex landscape of modern cybersecurity threats.
