> Malanta is the first pre-attack prevention platform. We shift security from reactive to proactive at machine speed by mapping attacker infrastructure before it becomes operational.

## Company Overview

Malanta builds pre-attack prevention technology for enterprise security teams. Instead of detecting attacks after they happen, Malanta identifies the infrastructure attackers assemble before launching (domains, C2 servers, staging assets, phishing kits) and disrupts it before it is weaponized.

Founded in 2024 by Kobi Ben-Naim (CEO), Guy Ben-Arie (Head of Engineering), Yossi Dantes (CPO), and Tal Kandel (CBO). Headquartered in Israel. Raised $10M seed round (November 2025).

## Core Concepts

- **Pre-Attack Prevention**: A security paradigm that operates upstream of traditional detection, identifying threats during infrastructure setup rather than during or after an attack.
- **Indicators of Pre-Attack (IoPAs)**: Signals that reveal attacker infrastructure being assembled. Unlike IOCs (Indicators of Compromise) which are reactive, IoPAs are predictive and actionable before any attack is launched.
- **BYOIOC (Bring Your Own IOC)**: A capability that lets security teams submit their own IOCs and receive expanded pre-attack context, mapping the full infrastructure behind known indicators.

## Key Capabilities

1. **Pre-Attack Intelligence**: Exposes domains, servers, and frameworks attackers are assembling before weaponization.
2. **Imminent Threat Correlation**: Traces hostile infrastructure back to your digital footprint to show what is targeted.
3. **Threat Disruption**: Disrupts malicious assets before attacks are launched.
4. **Attack Surface Monitoring**: Identifies decayed infrastructure (abandoned subdomains, shadow SaaS, unused OAuth tokens) that attackers exploit.

## Target Audience

- CISOs and security leaders at mid-to-large enterprises
- SOC teams and threat intelligence analysts
- Cyber insurance underwriters
- MSSPs and MDR providers

## Industry Focus

Cybersecurity, specifically the pre-attack phase of the attack lifecycle. Relevant industries: financial services, healthcare, government, critical infrastructure, technology.
