Zenyard emerges from stealth with AI security agent

February 19, 2026

Zenyard, a cybersecurity startup building a purpose-built AI agent for software reverse engineering, has emerged from stealth after securing a pre-seed funding round led by Mindset Ventures.

The round included participation from TAU Ventures, Zuk Avraham, Raanan Raz and additional investors.

Reverse engineering remains essential across security research, vulnerability assessment, malware analysis and threat intelligence, yet it is widely regarded as one of the most complex areas in cybersecurity. Existing workflows are largely manual and time-intensive, often requiring researchers to spend days reconstructing context or navigating decompiled code.

While generic AI tools have entered the space, Zenyard argues they are often limited to partial analysis and can generate unreliable outputs. In contrast, its agent is built to understand entire binaries, manage decompiled code analysis and provide explainable results that researchers can trust.

The solution integrates directly into the decompilers already used by security teams, enabling faster insight without disrupting established workflows.

Zenyard said its platform is already deployed across leading security and threat intelligence research teams. The company is focused on expanding its multi-agent architecture to accelerate expert researchers and enable SOC and security analysts to investigate software and malware independently.

Zenyard co-founder and CEO Yuval Luria said, “We built Zenyard out of our own experience working closely with security researchers and seeing the same bottlenecks repeat over and over.

“Even the best researchers spend too much time analyzing decompiled code with outdated tools instead of focusing on meaningful insight. Reverse engineering has not kept up with the pace of modern software. We’ve built Zenyard with the mission to help researchers focus on insight, not reconstruction, and give them AI they can actually trust on real, complex binaries.”

Mindset Ventures managing partner Boaz Albaranes said, “We see a strong parallel between what tools like Cursor and Codex did for developers and what Zenyard is doing for reverse engineering.

“As software complexity continues to grow, researchers need a fundamentally new way to understand binaries. Zenyard is creating a new category with a purpose-built AI agent, and the team’s firsthand experience with real-world reversing challenges, combined with deep security and AI expertise, uniquely positions them to lead this shift.”
