Lema AI Raises $24 Million to Automate Third-Party Risk [Prime Cyber Insights]

/ 02:29/E894
Lema AI has emerged from stealth mode with $24 million in funding to modernize third-party risk management using agentic AI. Founded in 2023 by Eddie Dovzhik, Omer Yehudai, and Tomer Roizman, the startup targets the critical security gaps found in enterprise supply chains. By replacing manual spreadsheets and time-consuming questionnaires with a platform that emulates a vulnerability researcher's mindset, Lema AI allows organizations to perform continuous analysis of vendor behavior. This automation claims to reduce vendor assessment times from several months to under five minutes. The platform specifically maps how a compromised supplier could impact an enterprise's overall security posture. This development is timely, as supply chain vulnerabilities remain one of the most significant attack vectors for global organizations. The funding, a mix of Series A and seed rounds, underscores the industry's shift toward AI-driven digital resilience to combat high-profile breaches originating through external partners.

Third-party risk management has long been a bottleneck for enterprise security, relying on static questionnaires that fail to keep pace with dynamic threats. Lema AI, a startup founded in 2023, is challenging this status quo with an agentic AI platform designed to automate and accelerate vendor risk assessments. Having just secured $24 million in funding, the company aims to move enterprises away from manual spreadsheets toward a continuous analysis model. The platform emulates the behavior of a vulnerability researcher to identify how vendor compromises could specifically impact an enterprise, potentially reducing the time required for new vendor assessments to less than five minutes.
