This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Jul. 6, 2026
“One of the biggest misconceptions in cybersecurity is that seeing a problem means you’re protected,” Ariel Litmanovich, co-founder and CTO of Aryon Security, told CTech, a tech news website focused on Israel’s vibrant technology hub.
Think about your house: cameras that alert you when a burglar is already inside are useful, but a strong lock on the door prevents the break-in from happening in the first place. For years, cybersecurity has focused on identifying risks after they already exist: misconfigurations, excessive permissions, exposed resources, and compliance gaps.
But most security teams are already overwhelmed by more alerts than they can realistically manage. Visibility matters, but the next step for the industry is prevention: ensuring risky changes never happen in the first place.
“We are essentially creating a new category in cloud security,” Ron Arbel, co-founder and CEO at Aryon, told Cybercrime Magazine.
Tel Aviv-based Aryon recently raised $29 million in Series A funding led by Brightmind Partners, a firm co-founded by Stephen Ward, former CISO at The Home Depot and TIAA. “Having served as CISO for some of the world’s largest enterprises, I’m seeing firsthand how AI is increasing cloud complexity while also enabling attackers to exploit gaps faster than ever before,” said Ward.
“Infrastructure is changing faster than security teams can manually keep up with, and enterprises can no longer afford to discover risks only after they are already in production,” said Arbel. “Aryon makes prevention operational, scalable, and safe for the world’s most complex cloud environments.”
