Malanta.ai is a technology company.
Malanta.ai develops a pre-attack prevention platform that identifies and neutralizes hostile infrastructure before cyberattacks launch. The system leverages AI to detect attacker assets, such as domains, command-and-control servers, and staging environments, mapping them in real-time. This technology enables organizations to proactively disrupt malicious activity and feed validated intelligence into their security operations, shifting their defense from reactive response to anticipatory prevention.
The company was founded in 2024 by Kobi Ben Naim, Guy Ben Arie, Yossi Dantes, and Tal Kandel. These co-founders, all seasoned executives from CyberArk, recognized a critical gap in traditional cybersecurity models. Their collective experience in building and defending complex systems led to the insight that preventing breaches effectively requires addressing the often-overlooked window between exposure and active compromise, particularly amidst the rise of AI-driven autonomous threats.
Malanta.ai primarily serves enterprises, empowering them to safeguard their digital assets, customer trust, and operational continuity. The company's vision is to provide organizations with the foresight needed to prevent breaches, protecting their revenue and reputation by proactively neutralizing pre-attack activity. It aims to transform security postures globally, ensuring businesses can operate securely in an evolving threat landscape.

Malanta.ai is a cybersecurity technology company that builds an AI-powered pre-attack prevention platform designed to detect and neutralize cyber threats before they materialize. It serves businesses and government entities by providing real-time intelligence on attacker infrastructure—such as domains, servers, and phishing kits—that adversaries assemble prior to launching attacks. By using machine learning and neural exposure mapping, Malanta.ai forecasts imminent risks like domain takeovers, credential compromises, and digital identity theft, enabling security teams to act proactively rather than reactively. The platform is gaining traction with deployments in financial services, government, technology, and software sectors, supported by a $10 million seed round to expand its capabilities and market reach[1][2][3].
Founded in 2024 by former CyberArk executives Kobi Ben Naim (CEO), Guy Ben Arie (Head of Engineering), Yossi Dantes (CPO), and Tal Kandel (CBO), Malanta.ai emerged from their combined expertise in cybersecurity product development and AI-based threat research. The idea arose from recognizing a critical gap in cybersecurity: the shrinking window between exposure and compromise due to AI-driven adversaries. Early traction includes collaboration with the Israel National Cyber Directorate, where Malanta’s analysis helped dismantle adversary infrastructure targeting hundreds of organizations. The company holds one granted patent with two more pending, reflecting its innovative approach[2][4].
Malanta.ai rides the critical trend of AI-driven cyberattacks, where adversaries use autonomous bots and AI to scale attacks rapidly, compressing the time between reconnaissance and breach execution. Traditional security tools, which rely heavily on post-compromise detection, struggle to keep pace. Malanta’s timing is crucial as organizations face an explosion of threat intelligence feeds but lack effective operationalization for prevention. By focusing on pre-attack intelligence and proactive disruption, Malanta.ai addresses a growing market need for anticipatory cybersecurity in an era dominated by AI-powered threats. This approach influences the broader ecosystem by pushing security teams to adopt machine-speed, intelligence-driven defense strategies that can keep up with evolving adversaries[1][2][4][5].
Malanta.ai is poised to expand its engineering and go-to-market capabilities, deepen product integrations, and broaden its data sources to enhance preemptive intelligence operationalization. As AI-driven cyber threats continue to evolve and accelerate, Malanta’s platform is well-positioned to become a foundational tool for organizations aiming to stay ahead of attackers. Future trends shaping its journey include increased adoption of autonomous defense systems, integration with broader security operations centers (SOCs), and growing demand for predictive cybersecurity solutions. Malanta’s influence is likely to grow as it helps shift the industry mindset from reactive breach response to proactive breach prevention, fulfilling its vision of a world where security teams stop attacks before they strike[2][3][5].
