## Executive Summary

Ray Security sells a data security platform that learns how employees, systems, and AI agents use company data and protects it before it is accessed. It left stealth in September 2025 on an $11 million seed round, shows an early named enterprise reference and press-reported Fortune 500 customers, and carries a founding team from Check Point, Guardicore, and Axonius plus a 2026 Technology Pioneer selection by the World Economic Forum. What a buyer cannot yet check is scale. Ray discloses no customer count, revenue, or deployment depth, and its claim of cutting data risk by 90 percent is its own. Its next real proof is disclosed, referenceable scale.
