IronGate Security

IronGate Security is one of approximately three hundred Tel Aviv cybersecurity outfits founded by ex-Unit alumni in the past decade — a fact the founders cheerfully acknowledge when asked and never bring up otherwise. Six engineers and a founder who once held a security clearance she declines to discuss. Their workspace is a converted apartment on the seventh floor of a building near Rothschild Boulevard. The neighbors include two other AI shops and a dental clinic.

Their work is threat-detection models for mid-tier corporate security operations centers — the customer base that needs serious capability but cannot afford the standard-issue corporate offering. They charge in the middle — mid-five-figure Cu per delivered model, depending on scope — ship fast, and their models have a reputation for catching the unflashy attacks the high-profile suites miss.

The founder describes the company’s mission as “boring threats taken seriously.” This appears on no marketing material. It is, however, the password to the office Wi-Fi.

IronGate’s deliverables include, at no extra charge, a quietly comprehensive incident-response playbook customized to the buyer’s environment. They claim this is standard professional courtesy. The buyers who use the playbook tend to come back. The buyers who skip it tend to come back faster.
