Overview

FAZE Security (formerly Cytrix, founded 2024 and registered in Nahariya, Israel) is an offensive security orchestration platform operating out of Tel Aviv and New York. Its core offering, the Agentic Red Team (ART), runs autonomous AI agents trained on proprietary attack data drawn from thousands of white-hat hackers continuously against a customer’s web apps, APIs, and cloud environments within defined guardrails, combining deterministic rules with AI agent “swarming” to find, chain, prioritize, and validate vulnerabilities.

The differentiator it claims is moving from point-in-time penetration testing to continuous, always-on adversarial validation, with audit-ready reporting mapped to frameworks like SOC 2 and NYDFS. The company emerged from stealth in September 2026 with $6M in seed funding (led by New Era Capital Partners, with Lockstep VC), reporting 50 enterprise customers and roughly 20X ARR growth over 18 months — figures that are self-reported in its own launch press release rather than independently confirmed.

Innovation Matrix Assessment

Innovation Velocity 7/10

Fast stealth-to-launch pace with claimed rapid ARR growth and an agentic-swarm approach.

Operational Value 6/10

Continuous automated validation could meaningfully reduce pentest backlog for vulnerability-management teams.

Market Momentum 6/10

$6M seed plus 50 named enterprise customers is real, if still vendor-reported, traction.

Category Disruption 5/10

BAS/continuous-pentesting already has established players; the agentic approach is an evolution, not a category reinvention.

Real-World Efficacy 5/10

Strong customer/ARR claims, but these figures come entirely from the company's own press release with no independent verification found.

Enduring Relevance 6/10

Continuous, automated adversarial testing is likely to stay relevant as attack surfaces expand.

Why CISOs Should Care

Offers continuous, automated red-teaming that could close the gap between how fast vulnerabilities are found and how fast they get fixed.

What Makes It Different

Uses AI agent "swarms" trained on real white-hat attack data for always-on validation, instead of periodic manual pentests.

The Matrix Verdict

58/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR

A promising, fast-growing entrant in a competitive BAS/continuous-testing field, with strong self-reported traction that still needs independent validation.

Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings

The "~20X ARR growth in 18 months" and "50 enterprise customers including Fortune 500" figures are self-reported in the company's own stealth-exit press release, not independently verified.
