该公司于2022年在基辅成立,正值俄罗斯对乌克兰发动全面入侵之际。最初,它为乌克兰安全机构追踪俄罗斯的虚假信息。此后,业务已扩展至其所谓的“混合威胁”领域。
The company was founded in Kyiv in 2022, after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It began by tracking Russian disinformation for Ukrainian security bodies. It has since moved on to what it calls hybrid threats.
这些威胁是指融合了网络攻击、破坏活动、间谍活动和网络操纵的行动。Osavul的AI扫描公开和私有数据,寻找某个团体针对客户发动攻击的早期迹象。随后,它将这些迹象映射到客户的员工、场所和供应商,以显示攻击可能落脚的位置。
These are campaigns that mix cyberattacks, sabotage, spying and online manipulation. Osavul’s AI scans public and private data for early signs that a group is going after a client. It then maps those signs to the client’s staff, sites and suppliers to show where a strike could land.
人工分析师会核查每份报告,且系统可在客户自有服务器上运行,确保数据不出内网。Osavul表示,其客户遍及10多个国家的国家、国防和安全机构,包括英国、德国、波兰和美国。
Human analysts check each report, and the system can run on a client’s own servers, so data stays in-house. Osavul says it works with state, defence and security bodies in more than 10 countries, including the UK, Germany, Poland and the US.
Osavul还为北约提供服务。它是北约今年选定的Brandwatch和Blackbird.AI财团合作伙伴之一,负责监测信息空间。
Osavul also works for NATO. It is one of the partners in the Brandwatch and Blackbird.AI consortium that NATO picked this year to monitor the information space.
公司计划在保持政府业务的同时,向运营能源、交通、港口和银行业务的企业拓展销售。据称,其合同总价值在2025年增长了四倍。
The company plans to sell to firms that run energy, transport, ports and banks, while it keeps its state work. And they say the total value of its contracts grew fourfold in 2025.
“混合攻击不再仅仅是政府的问题,”Osavul联合创始人兼首席执行官Dmytro Plieshakov表示。
“Hybrid attacks are no longer a government problem alone,” said Dmytro Plieshakov, Osavul’s co-founder and chief executive.
Plieshakov与首席业务发展官Dmytro Bilash共同创立了公司。据Balnord透露,二人在创办Osavul前已共同创建并出售过一家公司。
Plieshakov founded the company with Dmytro Bilash, its chief business development officer. According to Balnord, the pair had already built and sold a company together before starting Osavul.
Osavul还将利用这笔资金改进AI技术、扩充销售团队并拓展新市场。
Osavul will also use the cash to improve its AI, grow its sales team and enter new markets.
“对手同时在信息、网络和物理渠道开展行动;大多数安全工具仍然孤立运行,”33N Ventures管理合伙人Carlos Alberto Silva表示。
“Adversaries operate across information, cyber and physical channels at once; most security tools are still siloed,” said Carlos Alberto Silva, managing partner at 33N Ventures.
