Salvador Technologies

Salvador Technologies takes a recovery-first approach to industrial cybersecurity: instead of focusing primarily on detecting or blocking an attack, its core product is a small hardware device that connects to OT/ICS workstations via USB and continuously backs up the operating system, drivers, configurations, and data to onboard NVMe storage that is kept air-gapped from the network. When a workstation is hit by ransomware, wiper malware, or another disruptive attack, the device can restore the machine to a known-good state in roughly 30 seconds to a couple of minutes, rather than the hours or days a traditional backup-and-restore process takes. In February 2025 the company extended this into an Edge-Recovery Platform built on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, aimed at manufacturers and critical-infrastructure operators that need near-zero downtime recovery at scale.

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Rehovot, Israel, Salvador Technologies raised a $6 million round in December 2023 (bringing total funding to roughly $9 million) led by Pico Venture Partners, with participation from Pitango and Sarona Partners. A notable independent signal of traction is a strategic investment from Ashdod Port, one of Israel’s major maritime ports, which both validates real-world OT deployment interest and gives the company a reference customer whose infrastructure genuinely depends on operational continuity.

Most established OT security vendors (Claroty, Dragos, Nozomi Networks) are built around network visibility and threat detection. Salvador’s recovery-first positioning is a different layer of the stack, addressing the reality that OT environments often cannot tolerate the downtime of a full incident-response rebuild, and it can complement rather than replace detection-focused tools. The company is still small and early-stage, so its long-term durability and the real-world recovery-time claims beyond its own demonstrations are not yet independently benchmarked at scale.
