Osavul Raises €8.5M for Hybrid Threat Intelligence

Osavul, a Luxembourg-based innovator in hybrid threat intelligence, has successfully closed a €8.5 million Series A funding round. This significant capital injection, led by 33N Ventures with crucial participation from Balnord, G+D Ventures, and existing supporter 42CAP, propels the company's total funding to approximately €12 million. The investment will fuel Osavul's expansion into global government, defense, enterprise, and critical infrastructure sectors.

The company's proprietary platform is engineered to detect hostile intentions across information, cyber, and physical domains before attacks can be launched. Its advanced capabilities are already trusted by NATO and numerous government and defense organizations across more than 10 nations. This latest funding will be strategically deployed to enhance Osavul's artificial intelligence prowess, bolster its commercial operations, and penetrate new geographical markets and industry verticals, while continuing to serve its established government and defense clientele.

Osavul's technology distinguishes itself by integrating open-source and privileged data with unique intelligence derived from years of analyzing real-world hostile campaigns in collaboration with defense and security bodies. The system meticulously maps threat actor signals against a client's critical assets, including personnel, facilities, and supply chains, aiming to preemptively identify potential threats. Assessments are rigorously evidence-traced and validated by expert analysts, with the option for on-premises deployment within sovereign infrastructure to ensure data security.

The urgency for such sophisticated threat intelligence is escalating. Geopolitical instability and state-sponsored hybrid activities are increasingly impacting businesses responsible for essential services. These complex threats often combine cyberattacks, sabotage, espionage, and disinformation, overwhelming traditional security solutions that focus on isolated risk categories. Osavul's approach, developed initially during the Russian invasion of Ukraine and refined over four years of operational collaboration, directly addresses this multifaceted challenge.

The company has demonstrated substantial growth, reporting a fourfold increase in total contract value in the past year. Its technology has also gained significant commercial traction within defense industrials, energy, transportation, and financial services sectors. Osavul's expansion into markets like the UK, Germany, Poland, the Nordics, the U.S., and Asia-Pacific underscores the global demand for its integrated threat detection capabilities. Notably, Osavul is a key technology provider for NATO's Information Environment Assessment Capability.

Osavul's founding team, Dmytro Plieshakov and Dmytro Bilash, bring a wealth of experience, having previously founded and successfully exited Captain Growth to Perion. Their vision is to leverage their deep expertise in national security operations to equip critical infrastructure operators and other strategically vital businesses with advanced, proactive threat intelligence. As Carlos Alberto Silva, Managing Partner at 33N Ventures, noted, Osavul is uniquely positioned to become the defining company in hybrid threat intelligence, offering a solution proven in the most demanding environments.
