Jazz Comes Out of Stealth with $61M to Remaster Data Loss Prevention

We emerged today from stealth and announced $61 million in Seed and Series A funding.

The round was led by Glilot Capital Partners and Team8, with participation from Ten Eleven Ventures, Merlin Ventures, Encoded Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and leading cybersecurity entrepreneurs.

Data Loss Prevention has been broken for two decades — and the industry knows it.

DLP was supposed to stop sensitive information from slipping out through everyday work: an employee sharing a file to the wrong place, pasting source code into a GenAI tool, or using an unmanaged app. But the tools built to do this were founded on rigid, rule-based frameworks that produced more noise and business friction than actual security.

A New Model, Not a Better Version of the Old One

Jazz isn’t an incremental improvement on legacy DLP. It’s a fundamentally different architecture.

Jazz combines a forensic endpoint agent for total visibility with an Agentic Investigator — called Melody — that deeply understands context and intent. Instead of requiring teams to write and maintain thousands of rules, Melody learns how the organization actually works. It analyzes the full context of every event — the user, the data, the systems, and the business process — to determine intent and automatically distinguish between legitimate workflows and actual risk.

Already in Production

We’re not launching with a product pitch. We’re launching with customers.

Jazz is already in production at dozens of organizations, including Lemonade, AlphaSense, and CAVA — earned while still in stealth, before any public announcement. More than a dozen are paying customers, signed within Jazz’s first year.

“For years, security leaders have been stuck choosing between protecting their data and maintaining their business agility,” said Ido Livneh, co-founder and CEO of Jazz. “Traditional DLP was built on rigid rules that don’t understand how modern work actually happens, which leaves teams drowning in noise while real risks slip through. Jazz changes that by deeply understanding intent and context in every incident, finally delivering meaningful risk reduction without slowing the business down.”

What Investors Are Saying

“For more than 20 years, DLP has forced security teams into an unfair tradeoff: accept the risk, or accept the operational pain,” said Kobi Samboursky, co-founder and managing partner at Glilot Capital Partners. “Jazz stands out because it leverages AI to rethink and rebuild the category from first principles. The team’s pace — earning more than a dozen paying customers in its first year — is proof the market has been waiting for this.”

“It is rare to see a company achieve this caliber of customer traction and measurable outcomes so early, especially in a category as notoriously difficult as DLP,” said Liran Grinberg, co-founder and managing partner at Team8. “Jazz didn’t just incrementally improve DLP — they fundamentally solved the friction that has plagued this category for two decades.”

Oliver Newbury, former Global CISO at Barclays, added: “Jazz’s AI-native, context-driven platform is the only scalable way to manage data risk in the modern enterprise.”

The Team

Jazz was founded by Ido Livneh (CEO), Jake Tuertskey (Chief AI Officer), Noam Issachar (CBO), and Yonatan Zohar (CTO) — veterans of Unit 81 and alumni of companies including Axonius and Laminar. The $61M in funding will power global scaling, enterprise expansion, and the engineering, research, and go-to-market investment needed to lead this new era of data security.
