Executive Summary

Eve Security sells EveGuard, software that sits between AI agents and sensitive business systems, watching what the agents do and blocking or redacting risky actions before they run. The company raised a $3 million seed in September 2025 from LiveOak Ventures and Tau Ventures. Its chief executive Nadav Cornberg spent a decade in security at RSA and Check Point. In February 2026 Eve announced its one named customer in the reviewed record, integration-platform vendor ZigiWave, and in June 2026 a Broadcom collaboration around VMware private cloud. The homepage testimonials remain anonymous role-labeled quotes, and no customer count or revenue is disclosed. Adoption proof beyond a single named account is not yet public.
