A year after Israeli cybersecurity company Cyvore emerged from stealth, its CEO Ori Segal said the company’s data indicated that over 15 billion attacks are launched daily against unsuspecting victims.
Cyvore was founded in August 2024 by Segal, CPO Yiftach Rotem, and CTO Yoav Rotem with the aim of halting the escalating threats targeting modern communication channels in the workplace.
Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, Segal explained that the company was founded after the partners identified a gap in cybersecurity.
While most organizational defenses focused on email, a growing share of business communication, more than 65%, had shifted to platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, and other remote channels. However, despite this major shift, there was still no meaningful protection against phishing or fraud attacks on these platforms.
Cyvore stepped in to fill the gap, securing employees and AI agents across all communication channels by merging threat intelligence and active protection into a single proactive platform.
“Cyvore secures and protects the modern enterprise workspace by exposing the complete chain of events, preventing phishing campaigns and fraud,” the company said.
15 billion attacks daily
Its system is built around three technologies. The first, optical phishing recognition (OPR), is an AI-powered scanner designed to detect visual phishing attempts, impersonations, and fraud campaigns. The second, threat intelligence autonomous operation (TIAO), is an automated engine capable of scanning all layers of the Internet and identifying data already stolen by attackers. The third, data analysis NLU engine (DAN), uses natural language‑understanding techniques to detect psychological manipulation, including deepfakes.
The combined engine can be installed in about 10 minutes, Segal told the Post.
Segal describes Cyvore as a “pioneer in workplace security,” for the protection of both employees and the AI systems they use. The need for such protection has increased as large language models (LLM) have made it easier for attackers to run sophisticated and large-scale campaigns, causing everyone using these communication platforms to be vulnerable to cyberattacks.
According to Segal, malicious messages have risen by 2,500%, credential‑phishing attempts by 1,000%, and global attack volumes have reached 15 billion daily. The company provides holistic protection for over 300 million credentials.
On top of that, he said, “83% of CISOs [chief information security officers] report being attacked and unable to fully defend against these threats.”
The problem is global, with the United States, the UK, and Israel among the most targeted countries.
While attacks can originate from anywhere, Segal points to Iran, Russia, and North Korea as the most organized sources.
Their goals typically involve stealing money, credentials, or sensitive data. He cited the recent breach of former prime minister Naftali Bennett’s Telegram account as an example of how even senior public figures can be compromised. Attackers have also used platforms, such as social media networks, to attempt to recruit Israeli civilians for espionage.
One of the most widely reported incidents illustrating the new threat landscape occurred in Hong Kong, where a finance worker joined a Zoom call that appeared to include company executives. The worker was the only real participant; the rest were deepfakes. The attackers succeeded in convincing the worker to send them $25 million.
That incident, Segal said, marked a turning point in global awareness and reflects the type of attack Cyvore aims to prevent.
To help the public defend itself, Cyvore launched ScanMySMS.com, a global platform where anyone can upload screenshots, QR codes, phone numbers, or messages to instantly check whether they are part of a phishing campaign. The Israel National Cyber Directorate has recommended the system as a tool to reduce phishing attacks nationwide.
Cyvore serves customers in Israel and the United States, including hi‑tech companies and government bodies with thousands of employees.
