Jerusalem Venture Partners backs Israeli cyber threat tech firm Vicarius

Jerusalem Venture Partners has led a USD5 million funding round in Vicarius for its predictive cyberthreat technology, together with Innovation Hub and Goldbell. 

Vicarius automatically detects, patches and protects against yet-to-be-discovered software vulnerabilities before they are exploited by hackers.

The company’s US team will be based out of the recently launched JVP International NYC Cyber Center, which aims to protect cities, banks, utilities, and healthcare systems, as well as “democracies, the integrity of information, and the freedom of the individual”, in the firm’s own words.
