About Sweet Security

Founded by Dror Kashti, Eyal Fisher, and Orel Ben-Ishay, Sweet Security offers the first comprehensive runtime security suite for the cloud. Sweet's runtime security platform, launched in August 2023, utilizes patent-pending eBPF-based technology to identify critical anomalies across application, network, and non-human identities, providing actionable insights for managing cloud risks effectively. The platform enables security teams to detect and respond to vulnerabilities, manage posture, and handle non-human identities in real-time, without overwhelming them with noisy alerts from passive API scans.
