Maze

Maze envisions a future where cloud security is seamlessly intelligent, adaptive, and proactive. By embedding advanced AI technology at the core of vulnerability management, we strive to redefine how organizations protect their critical assets in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

We are building a platform that not only detects and resolves cloud security risks but also fundamentally transforms security workflows to empower teams to act faster and smarter. Our AI-driven approach switches the paradigm from reactive rules to proactive decisions, creating a more resilient and secure cloud ecosystem.

As a global team pioneering the next generation of security technology, Maze is committed to driving meaningful progress in cybersecurity, enabling enterprises to confidently navigate and secure their digital futures.

When we first heard about Maze, we'll admit we were a bit skeptical. Another AI security startup promising to revolutionize vulnerability management? We've seen this pitch before. But after digging into what they're actually building, we found ourselves genuinely intrigued by their approach.

The AI Agent Difference

Here's what caught our attention: Maze isn't just slapping AI on top of existing security tools. They're building AI agents that actually investigate and resolve vulnerabilities autonomously, rather than simply flagging them for human review. Think of it as having a tireless security analyst that never sleeps, never gets overwhelmed by alert fatigue, and can reason through complex cloud environments at machine speed.

The timing feels right too. Cloud environments are getting more complex by the day, and security teams are drowning in vulnerability backlogs. We've talked to CISOs who describe their current workflow as "digital whack-a-mole" — and that's exactly the problem Maze is trying to solve.

Serious Backing, Serious Team

The $31 million in funding (including a hefty $25 million Series A) tells us investors are buying into the vision. But what really impressed us was the founding team's pedigree. Veterans from Elastic, Amazon, and Tessian don't usually leave cushy jobs to build something unless they've spotted a genuine market gap.

Their global footprint — with offices spanning Menlo Park, London, Paris, and Berlin — suggests they're thinking internationally from day one. That's smart positioning for an enterprise security play.

Where We See The Potential

Maze seems purpose-built for enterprises dealing with cloud sprawl and security team burnout. If their AI agents can actually deliver on the promise of proactive vulnerability resolution, it could be a game-changer for overworked security teams.

We're particularly curious about their "AI-native" approach — building the platform from scratch around AI reasoning rather than retrofitting existing tools. It's ambitious, but it might be exactly what's needed to break through the noise in the crowded security market.
