In the list of 15: The achievement of the cyber company Zero Networks

The cyber security start-up company Zero Networks, a leading provider of Zero Trust security solutions, stars in LinkedIn's list of the 15 fastest growing and most prominent Israeli start-ups for 2024. LinkedIn is a social network for creating professional and business connections with approximately 700 million users worldwide.

The annual LinkedIn list is one of the most prestigious and influential lists both in the Israeli industry and in the global high-tech industry, including venture capital funds interested in Israeli innovation. The companies included in the list not only grow rapidly and attract the attention of investors and job seekers, but they also develop groundbreaking solutions that shape the face of their industries in a variety of fields.

The list is based on an analysis of four key elements about each company: The increase in its employee count, the extent of follow-up and interest of external employees on the company's LinkedIn page and on the pages of the company's employees, the extent of interest in the jobs that a company advertises on its LinkedIn page and the number of applications submitted, and the number of employees that a company was able to recruit from companies leading global. 

Zero Networks was ranked in the list along with other leading companies such as: Wiz AI21 Labs, D-ID, AI Darrow and more. Recently, Zero Networks made it to the finals of Media SC's cyber solutions competition in a completely new category: The best solution for protection against insider threats. The company is redefining how modern micro-segmentation enables organizations to prevent and protect themselves and not just detect and respond to cyber-attacks.

Benny Lakunishok, co-founder and CEO of Zero Networks: "Our inclusion in LinkedIn's list of promising Israeli startups for 2024 reflects what we feel every day in the field: Our employee count has increased by tens of percent in the last year, there is great interest from cyber professionals in segmentation solutions Those of us who are exposed on our LinkedIn page, there are many applications from the best minds for the jobs we advertise and many join our ranks from leading international companies as well. It is the live interest from the field that enables the continuation of technological development and the next stages of business growth. This is a certificate of honor not only for us but also for other startups both from the Israeli cyber industry and from other fields"      

Zero Networks solves one of the most complicated problems in cyber security - how to prevent, and not "just" warn, attackers from moving through the corporate network to steal data or execute a ransom attack. The company has developed a fully automated SaaS platform that studies all network traffic and limits the access of every computer and every user in the organization to the minimum necessary - and requires multi-step authentication in sensitive operations. The SaaS service is implemented in minutes and starts running in only about 30 days - compared to several years that are required to implement other segmentation solutions that often do not provide comprehensive protection.

 Zero Networks was founded in 2019, and is managed by Benny Lakunishok (CEO) and Amir Frankel (CTO). The company has raised $45 million in cumulative since its inception, of which $20 million in the B round that closed at the end of 2023. The company, which employs 70 employees, 35 of them in Tel Aviv, and the rest in offices in the US and Europe, is currently recruiting additional employees in order to support its accelerated growth.
