Remedio Secures $65M to Tackle Patch and Vulnerability Gaps

A bootstrapped device posture management startup led by a Dell EMC IT security architect raised $65 million to perform full, active remediation on misconfigured devices.

Remedio said the Bessemer Venture Partners-led funding round will help the Tel Aviv-based company maintain first-mover advantage in its approach to patch and vulnerability management, said founder and CEO Tal Kollender. She said Remedio’s platform goes far beyond detecting and alerting and instead allows organizations to safely remediate issues at scale, with the ability to rollback any changes.

“We wanted to take a round later in the year, because we’re entering a new era of patch and vulnerability management,” Kollender told Information Security Media Group. “The reason why we wanted to take money is not because we were not successful, but because we want to accelerate our goals.”

Remedio – formerly known as Gytpol – was founded in 2019, employs 60 people and participated last year in the inaugural AWS and CrowdStrike Cybersecurity Accelerator for EMEA-based startups. The company has been led since inception by Kollender, who was a hacker in the Israel Defense Forces for five years as well as a cyber expert and system security architect at Dell EMC for five-and-a-half years (see: Check Point Adds AI Application Defense With Lakera Purchase).

Why Organizations Need Remediation, Not Just Detection

While many vendors can patch software or flag vulnerabilities, Kollender said they often overlook device configuration, which can remain dangerously permissive even after patches are applied. Kollender said Remedio’s approach pairs patching with contextual configuration analysis, helping teams fix both software and systemic configuration risks in a single action, with the added benefit of full rollback.

“What people forget is that they don’t know that by default, their configuration on the browser is usually very, very, very weak,” Kollender said. “If we combine the configuration, and at the click of a button, you can revert and undo everything that you ever did, that’s the power of our tool.”

While traditional tools stop at detection and reporting, Remedio enables organizations to actively resolve misconfigurations or vulnerabilities with a click of a button, while also offering rollback functionality. Remedio can detect unnecessary, risky items such as the Microsoft Print Spooler vulnerability that was active but unused, then safely disable them without affecting business operations, Kollender said.

“We can not only show them what is wrong, but finally address it without any implications,” Kollender said. “The largest logos in the world are using our solution for a reason, because we do something that no one else does in the market today. And we even show it in the UI, the return on investment and the time and money that they saved, and they are saving upon each and every remediation.”

Why Applications Should Be Uninstalled, Not Just Blocked

Many security risks stem not from missing patches but from poor or forgotten default settings, with services like SMBv1 or Print Spooler left active when they serve no functional purpose. Remedio addresses this by providing complete visibility into what configurations exist across all devices and allowing teams to take mass action quickly, which allows IT and SecOps teams to harden environments.

“So Microsoft just released another update on the Print Spooler, because there is another vulnerability,” Kollender said. “But wait, the service itself doesn’t really need to be run, because you have no printers mapped to your environment. So just remediate it, eliminate the risk and when they see it, they do it immediately, because they understand how easy it is with the click of a button.”

Legacy tools in this space rely heavily on McAfee-style blacklists and whitelists, which Kollender said can block applications but rarely offer the ability to uninstall them completely from a fleet of devices. The company’s upcoming module will enable organizations to not only block unauthorized applications but also uninstall them entirely, providing deeper security and cleaner endpoints, Kollender said.

“The application control solutions that exist in the market today are relying on the McAfee engine, and that is something that we really want to change,” Kollender said. “What you can do now with Remedio is you can uninstall the application, not only block it. We are going to rebrand the application control and add it here as part of the holistic platform.”

Remedio is tracking progress through metrics tied to team expansion, marketing ROI, upsells from existing customers and new logo acquisition, Kollender said. Their UI displays ROI metrics to clients, showing time and cost savings from each remediation. With a new and significantly larger GTM team, Kollender expects improved sales efficiency, more upsell and cross-sell opportunities and broader customer reach.

“Today, we’re only five people in sales and almost zero in marketing,” Kollender said. “Now, in a few months, we’re going to be 20-to-30 people in sales, and at least five or six in marketing. And it’s going to boost our go-to-market.”
