We are ZEST

It’s not about opening tickets; it’s about closing them

The security industry is primarily structured to give organizations visibility into what’s wrong, identifying weaknesses and vulnerabilities. While visibility is essential, it has become overwhelming for security teams. Visibility alone is not security; it’s just a step towards it.

ZEST was founded to bridge the gap that exists between identifying security risks and efficiently remediating them. There is a pressing need for technology that shifts the industry’s focus from identifying problems to resolving them.

“We are beyond excited to be helping organizations move past visibility towards risk remediation using GenAI.”

Backed By

I’m incredibly excited to partner with Snir and Uri on their mission to bring true automated remediation to the market. They deeply understand the problem and bring a wealth of experience from their leadership positions in large enterprises, startups and the broader industry. With enterprises getting increasingly more visibility into their cloud vulnerabilities, security and DevOps teams are actively searching for a way to remediate at scale – ZEST is well positioned to tackle this challenge.

Combining the power of Generative AI with the cost savings and selection of open-source innovations, ZEST seized a unique opportunity to revolutionize how organizations approach security and risk. Snir and Uri’s deep experience in cloud, product and application security uniquely positions them to help the security industry move beyond visibility to effectively resolving cloud risks.
