Clover Security Raises $36 Million to Secure Software by Design

The cybersecurity startup embeds AI agents into widely used tools to identify design flaws and eliminate them early.

Cybersecurity startup Clover Security on Tuesday emerged from stealth mode with $36 million in seed and Series A funding from Notable Capital, Team8, and SVCI.

Founded in 2024, the Tel Aviv-based company aims to provide ‘design-led product security’ through AI agents that can identify vulnerabilities before code is committed.

Relying on AI agents embedded in popular tools, including Confluence, Cursor, GitHub, Jira, and Slack, Clover detects design flaws and helps address them early.

The AI agents, the company says, replicate the thinking of security engineers, anticipate where security defects appear, and apply security principles during the design phase.

Clover says its agents can provide security insights in real time, suggest secure patterns, and automate reviews of all code changes.
