Ocean emerged from stealth mode this week with $28 million in funding for its agentic email security platform.
The funding came from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Picture Capital, Cerca Partners, and prominent angel investors.
Headquartered in New York City and Tel Aviv, and founded in 2024 by Shay Shwartz and Oran Moyal, Ocean has developed a platform that uses specialized AI agents to inspect every incoming message.
These agents evaluate sender intent, gather broader context, and review evidence from conversation threads to detect threats. The solution focuses on sophisticated attacks such as business email compromise, vendor email compromise, and AI-generated phishing.
The platform conducts in-depth analysis of infrastructure, files, links, identities, financial requests, and abuse mailboxes.
