Glilot Capital recently led a $61M round for Jazz because the market is ready for a fundamental platform shift.

This investment isn’t just about a new tool; it’s about backing a team that is finally solving the core problem of data risk. 

For years, I watched security teams fight a battle they couldn’t win in Data Loss Prevention (DLP). They’ve been trapped in a cycle of drowning in alerts from tools that flag every policy violation but lack the context to identify actual risk.

The industry’s answer was always the same: more rules, more tuning, more noise. We accepted that DLP was destined to be a noisy, high-friction compliance checkbox relying on overworked analysts to guess the business context behind machine generated alerts. The noise floor rose, burnout became a feature, not a bug, and the actual risk of data loss never really moved.

That disconnect was impossible to ignore as an investor. 

When I first met the team at Jazz,. They weren’t pitching slightly better classification or flashier. dashboards. Instead,  they presented a radical shift: a DLP system built to understand the organization it protects.

This moves the conversation from pattern matching to true intent. While modern competitors apply a thin layer of AI to the same broken, rule-based framework, Jazz replaces guesswork with ground truth. It asks the only question that matters: Why is this data moving, and what does that mean for the business? 

The technology is game-changing, but the team sealed the deal. Ido, Jake, Yonatan, and Noam refused to build more of the same. No more brittle rules. No more alert storms. No more forcing security teams to choose between protecting data and breaking the business. Their discipline was evident in every conversation. They moved past the broken status quo to build a system grounded in how business actually works.

That clarity resonated deeply in our discussions with CISOs. Many had felt the same frustration for years but lacked a viable alternative. What stood out was that the founders didn’t just have a pitch; they shared the customer’s pain. There was no over-selling, no trend-chasing, just an honest diagnosis of a broken system and a credible path to fixing it.

In a world of SaaS, remote work, and GenAI, static rules are obsolete. We are witnessing a “perfect storm” in the cyber domain, where AI has acted as the ultimate catalyst, drastically accelerating the movement of data while simultaneously shattering traditional defense frameworks. Glilot Capital led the Jazz round because we believe real security comes from understanding reality, not just writing more policies. Jazz isn’t just an iteration, it’s the breakthrough the category has been waiting for.
