Lema AI Emerges From Stealth With $24 Million to Tackle Third-Party Risk

"Lema AI, a cybersecurity startup focused on agentic AI-powered third-party risk management, on Monday emerged from stealth mode with $24 million raised across Series A and seed funding rounds. Founded in 2023 by Eddie Dovzhik (CEO), Omer Yehudai (CPO), and Tomer Roizman (CTO), Lema AI has developed an enterprise supply chain security platform that replaces manual spreadsheets and questionnaires with continuous, AI-driven analysis of vendor behavior and risk exposure."

"Lema's platform is built around an autonomous system trained to function like a vulnerability researcher by continuously examining how third-party vendors interact with an enterprise's systems. It tracks access to critical assets, monitors data flows, and evaluates changes in permissions over time to map potential attack paths posed by each vendor. This approach helps security teams assess risks beyond compliance checklists by providing continuous forensic insights into vendor activity rather than static snapshots. Lema claims enterprises can assess a new vendor's risk in under five minutes."

""We founded Lema AI because third-party risk needs to be treated like a security problem, not a compliance checklist," said CEO Dovzhik. "The industry is relying on manual assessments that miss the real-time business context and impact third parties have on the organization.""
