Should private AI firms be trusted to defend a nation's critical infrastructure against cyber threats?
Osavul has secured €8.5 million in a Series A funding round to scale its AI-driven platform for identifying hybrid threats. Founded in 2022, the company currently provides services to security bodies in more than 10 countries.
Why it matters
The company's technology is increasingly utilized by critical infrastructure sectors, as evidenced by a fourfold growth in total contract value during 2025. Osavul now plans to improve its AI capabilities and enter new commercial markets beyond its existing government contracts.
Osavul's total contract value grew fourfold in 2025, compared to the previous year. The company is currently part of a NATO consortium tasked with monitoring the information space.
The players
Osavul
A cybersecurity firm that uses AI to monitor public and private data for hybrid threats.
33N Ventures
The investment firm that led the Series A funding round for Osavul.
NATO
The intergovernmental military alliance that employs Osavul in a consortium to monitor the information space.
The details
Osavul AI functions by scanning both public and private data streams to detect signatures of hybrid threats. Once the system identifies potential risks, the platform generates reports that undergo secondary review by human analysts. The company is leveraging this capital infusion to improve its underlying AI models and expand its sales team to facilitate entry into the energy, transport, and finance sectors.
Timeline
2022: Osavul was founded in Kyiv, Ukraine.
2025: The company's total contract value grew fourfold.
2026: NATO selected the company for an information monitoring consortium.
The Tech Race
Osavul marks a departure from traditional defense contractors by scaling specialized information-monitoring AI from government-specific applications into commercial sectors. This expansion follows the company's role in the NATO information space monitoring consortium, where it established its baseline capabilities.
Firms in the energy, transport, and finance sectors may soon deploy Osavul's threat-detection platform to identify digital risks in their own operations. The practical transition depends on the success of the company's planned sales expansion and model improvements.
The takeaway
Osavul's growth reflects the rising demand for automated monitoring of hybrid information threats across critical infrastructure. Industry observers should watch for the company's performance metrics as it integrates its services into the energy and finance sectors throughout the coming year.
