KTrust, a security startup from Tel Aviv, takes a unique approach to Kubernetes security by actively attempting to hack into systems rather than just scanning for vulnerabilities. This proactive method helps security teams focus on actual attack paths. The company recently emerged from stealth with a $5.4 million seed funding round led by Awz Ventures. The leadership team, with backgrounds in Israeli Defense Forces and cybersecurity companies, brings diverse expertise to the table. KTrust's automated red team algorithm simulates real attackers to identify and validate exploits in Kubernetes-based systems, providing specific recommendations for mitigation. The company has already contributed to uncovering vulnerabilities in Kubernetes and Argo CD, with plans to scale its security solution globally.
