What Jazz does

Jazz is a privately held, venture-backed cybersecurity company that has built an AI-native Data Loss Prevention (DLP) platform aimed at replacing the rule-based DLP systems sold by incumbents such as Symantec, Microsoft Purview, and Digital Guardian. The platform is organized into four integrated modules: Jazz Detection (an OS-level AI Forensic Endpoint Agent, also called the patent-pending Endpoint Context Vault, that captures data-handling actions across browsers, desktop apps, CLI tools, sanctioned SaaS, shadow IT, and personal cloud with no per-app integrations and less than 1% CPU); Jazz Investigation (powered by Melody, an agentic AI investigator that autonomously reasons across four dimensions of context — data, systems, people, and business — and delivers pre-investigated narrative answers rather than raw alerts); Jazz Posture (a data posture and risk-mapping module that clusters investigations into a living map of organizational data flow); and Jazz Prevention (an adaptive, surgical control module that issues justifications, prompts, escalations, or targeted blocks). The company positions itself as requiring "no integrations, no rule writing" and reports a ~20,000:1 signal-to-incident ratio in a 5,000-employee production deployment.

The business is sold as a quote-based enterprise SaaS subscription via direct field sales (Account Executives), an inside-sales SDR layer in Boston, and a channel program that is being built out under a newly hired Director of Channel Sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; every website conversion path routes prospects to a "Book a Demo" CTA. The primary buyer is the CISO or security architect at mid-market and Fortune-class organizations, with named customers spanning insurance (Lemonade), market intelligence (AlphaSense, Similarweb), restaurants (CAVA), e-commerce (Rokt), mobile gaming (Playtika), financial services (Cass Information Systems), private equity (PSG), and higher education (UCLA Anderson, University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis). The company was founded in late 2024 in Tel Aviv by Unit 81 veterans Ido Livneh (CEO), Jake Turetsky (Chief AI Officer), Noam Issachar (Chief Business Officer), and Yonatan Zohar (CTO) — all former employees of Axonius and Laminar — and is headquartered in New York with engineering in Tel Aviv and a sales hub in Boston.

As of March 2026, Jazz had raised $61 million in combined Seed and Series A funding (co-led by Glilot Capital Partners and Team8, with Ten Eleven Ventures, Merlin Ventures, Encoded Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and several cybersecurity entrepreneurs participating), employed 44-45 people, served approximately 15 paying customers, claimed SOC 2 Type 2 certification, and had been named the top winner of the 2026 CrowdStrike + AWS + NVIDIA Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator at RSAC 2026.

Core offering

Jazz sells a unified AI-native Data Loss Prevention (DLP) software platform that replaces legacy rules-based DLP with an agentic, context-aware system. The platform combines an OS-level forensic endpoint agent (Endpoint Context Vault) with an autonomous AI investigator (Melody) that reasons across data, systems, people, and business context, delivered to enterprise security teams as a SaaS subscription sold via quote-based annual pricing.

Product overview

Jazz offers a single unified AI-native Data Loss Prevention (DLP) platform composed of four tightly integrated modules: Jazz Detection (the OS-level AI Forensic Endpoint Agent, also called the Endpoint Context Vault), Jazz Investigation (powered by Melody, the Agentic Investigator), Jazz Posture (data posture management and risk mapping), and Jazz Prevention (surgical, context-driven controls). The Detection module captures every data-handling action on the endpoint, the Investigation module uses Melody to autonomously analyze each data flow across four dimensions of context (data, systems, people, business), the Posture module clusters those investigations into a living map of organizational risk, and the Prevention module applies adaptive responses ranging from user prompts to targeted blocks. Together they replace traditional rule-based DLP — the platform is explicitly marketed as requiring "no integrations, no rule writing" — and were already deployed at design partners and customers including Lemonade, AlphaSense, CAVA, UCLA Anderson School of Management, University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy (UHSP), Rokt, Similarweb, Cass Information Systems, PSG, Playtika, and ROKT. The company has also built the DLP Sucks community/movement as a related content initiative.

Products and services

• Jazz Platform (AI-native DLP) Unified AI-native, context-aware Data Loss Prevention (DLP) platform combining the four modules (Detection, Investigation, Posture, Prevention) powered by the Endpoint Context Vault and Melody. Replaces rule-based DLP with a system that investigates data activity across data, systems, people, and business to surface only meaningful, pre-investigated incidents. Sold to enterprise security teams as a SaaS subscription.
• Jazz Detection (AI Forensic Endpoint Agent) AI Forensic Endpoint Agent that captures every meaningful data-handling action (copy/paste, screenshots, GenAI prompts, file uploads, screen sharing) at the OS level via a lightweight agent using less than 1% CPU. Combines a local encrypted rolling "Context Vault" with an AI-enabled metadata stream to the Jazz cloud to provide full-spectrum detection across browsers, desktop apps, CLI tools, sanctioned SaaS, shadow IT, and personal cloud accounts — with no per-app integrations or browser extension required.
• Jazz Investigation (Melody, the Agentic Investigator) AI Investigation Platform powered by Melody, Jazz's Agentic Investigator. Autonomously analyzes every suspicious data flow across four dimensions of context — Data, Systems, People, and Business — and delivers pre-investigated, narrative answers instead of raw alerts. Acts as Investigator, Judge, Learner, and Co-Pilot, and operates the DLP program in plain English.
• Jazz Posture (Data Posture Management) Data Posture Management & Risk Mapping that clusters thousands of investigations into a living map of how data moves through the organization. Surfaces risky user behaviors, vulnerable workflows, unsanctioned destinations, and sensitive-data-at-risk patterns, and provides a conversational DLP interface for managing the program in plain English.
• Jazz Prevention (Surgical Data Loss Controls) DLP Prevention module that applies adaptive, context-driven responses — requesting justifications, guiding users with prompts, escalating for human review, or applying targeted blocks — designed to avoid blunt blocking that disrupts legitimate work.
