- ORION Security is an agentic data loss prevention (DLP) platform, founded in 2024 by CEO Nitay Milner and CTO Jonathan Kreiner.
- ORION Security received several industry recognitions in 2026 Q3, including SINET16 Honoree and one of "The 25 Most Promising Startups 2026" by N12, Bank Leumi, and Valley Bank.
ORION Security announced today it’s been selected for Batch 19 of SV101, an immersive program run by ICON. ORION is one of 11 companies chosen for the upcoming batch, which connects founders with Silicon Valley investors, executives, and enterprise leaders.
Selection for SV101 is highly competitive, with each batch drawing about 150 qualifying applications. Batch 19, which runs Oct. 12-22 in Palo Alto, gives participating founders direct access to investors and technology executives. Since the program began in 2016, its first 18 batches have included 241 founders from 177 startups and 55 exits.
ICON’s selection builds on ORION Security’s momentum in 2026. In Q2, ORION announced accelerated growth marked by new Fortune 500 customer wins and deepening strategic relationships.
On Sept. 17, ORION Security was named a 2026 SINET16 Honoree, one of 16 companies selected from 158 applicants across 10 countries. SINET16 Honorees are early-stage and emerging companies shaping the future of cybersecurity. Earlier in September, ORION was named one of "The 25 Most Promising Startups 2026" by N12, Bank Leumi, and Valley Bank. ORION Security has also been recognized as a data loss prevention platform in recent research published by Gartner and Forrester.
“Data loss prevention is undergoing a renaissance, and the people who know this space best recognize that ORION has set the standard,” said Nitay Milner, Co-Founder and CEO at ORION Security. “Recognition from the ICON CISO community and Silicon Valley decision makers validates what we’ve built: a platform designed for the way sensitive data moves today, across people, applications, and AI.”
Milner and CTO Jonathan Kreiner founded ORION Security in 2024 to develop an AI-native approach to a category that had changed little in decades. Legacy DLP relies heavily on predefined rules and policies that generate large volumes of false positives, and wasn’t built for a world where enterprise data rapidly moves across SaaS applications, browsers, cloud platforms, and AI tools and agents.
ORION Security takes a different approach. Its agentic DLP platform analyzes data in motion across channels and connects related activity to understand the context and intent behind a potential data loss event. Instead of relying on security teams to continually write rules and tune policies, ORION distinguishes legitimate business activity from real indicators of data loss.
