## Summary

Multi-cloud security control plane by ex-AWS veterans; raised $42M in stealth exit (Mar 2026); define security policies once and enforce across AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single platform.

## Company Overview

Native Security is a cybersecurity startup developing a security control plane that enables organizations to define cloud security policies once and automatically enforce them across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Founded by former AWS security leaders, the company emerged from stealth in March 2026.

Native raised $31 million in a Series A round led by Ballistic Ventures, with participation from seed investors General Catalyst, YL Ventures, and Merlin Ventures, bringing total funding to $42 million. Phil Venables, former CISO of Google Cloud and now a partner at Ballistic Ventures, joined the company's board of directors.

The founding team includes CEO Amit Megiddo (who led Amazon GuardDuty at AWS), CPO Gal Ordo (who led AWS Security Hub), and CTO Eyal Faingold (former VP of Cloud Security at Check Point). Native currently employs 41 people across Israel, the UK, and the US, with plans to expand to around 90 employees by end of 2026.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What does Native Security do?
Multi-cloud security control plane: define security policies once, enforce automatically across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.

### Who founded Native Security?
Former AWS security leaders: CEO Amit Megiddo (GuardDuty), CPO Gal Ordo (Security Hub), CTO Eyal Faingold (Check Point VP).

### How much has Native raised?
$42M total ($31M Series A from Ballistic Ventures, March 2026).

### What makes Native different?
Operationalizes security-by-design across multi-cloud and AI infrastructure from a single control plane.

### How does Native Security's policy-once-enforce-everywhere approach work technically?
Native Security translates abstract security policies into the native enforcement mechanisms of each cloud provider — AWS SCPs and Security Groups, Azure Policy and NSGs, GCP Organization Policies — so that a single policy definition in Native's control plane generates the correct enforcement artifacts for each cloud environment automatically. This eliminates the need for security teams to maintain parallel policy implementations for each cloud's proprietary security configuration system.

### What cloud providers does Native Security support?
Native Security supports the four major cloud providers: AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Multi-cloud coverage across all four major providers from a single control plane is a key differentiator, as most CNAPP vendors have stronger coverage in AWS with less mature Azure and GCP implementations.

### How does Native Security extend to AI infrastructure security?
Native Security extends its cloud security control plane to AI infrastructure — applying consistent security policies to AI training clusters, model deployment environments, GPU compute instances, and AI data pipelines across cloud providers. As enterprises deploy AI workloads across multiple clouds, maintaining consistent security posture across all AI infrastructure from a single control plane becomes a significant operational challenge that Native addresses.

### Who competes with Native Security in the multi-cloud security market?
Native Security competes with CNAPPs including Wiz, Orca Security, Lacework, and Prisma Cloud for cloud security posture management. Its specific differentiation is the cross-cloud policy enforcement layer that enforces policies using each cloud's native controls — a complementary capability to CSPM scanning that adds an active enforcement dimension beyond passive assessment.
