Tel Aviv-based Sola Security, which bills itself as the Cybersecurity AI assistant, and which raised a $35 million Series A round in late summer, has just made two significant product advancements — agentic workflows and vibe-coded canvases,
Sola was co-founded in 2024 by cybersecurity veterans Guy Flechter (former CEO & Co-Founder of Cider Security, acquired by Palo Alto Networks) and Ron Peled (former Global CISO of LivePerson and strategic security consultant to startups). Sola came out of Flechter and Peled’s frustration with the stagnation in cybersecurity innovation. They set out to build a solution which would make cybersecurity faster and easier to tackle. Reflecting Gartner’s expectation that AI assistants will evolve into context-aware copilots for security teams, Sola is advancing technology designed to reduce repetitive workload and enhance decision support, all backed by baked-in security logic and reasoning.
“Cybersecurity is entering its AI moment, and we intend to lead it,” Flechter said. “We’re building the go-to platform for creating security solutions, with Sola AI turning ideas into instant, customizable defenses without the complexity, cost, or vendor locking that has held teams back for decades.”
This requires rethinking what Generative AI and a new security approach are all about.
“The Sola team continues to push the boundaries and excited to unveil our agentic workflows and vibe canvases,” Fechter stressed. “Two innovative steps toward shaping the future of AI in cybersecurity. We’ve dismantled the last barriers to your imagination!
“Our canvases are a revolutionary, open, data-first space where security practitioners can craft anything: from custom dashboards and detailed reports to web apps and even interactive games,” Flechter stated. “With workflows, we’re redefining automation: resilient, adaptable, and always maintaining context. Even in the face of real-world challenges. They evolve with your team, recover seamlessly, and work with you every step of the way. This marks a new dawn at Sola and a new era for cybersecurity teams everywhere. These are security tools built by you, for you, and not dictated by vendors.”
Agentic workflows add AI-driven orchestration to Sola apps. Teams can breakdown and automate investigations, connect actions across tools like Slack and Jira, and handle multi-step processes that usually demand human oversight and previously required full-blown, costly solutions with a lot of heavy lifting.
Unlike conventional automation tools, Sola’s agentic workflows are designed to adapt when data is missing or unexpected, instead of failing, apply deterministic actions for critical steps that require reliability and consistency, and incorporate built-in security reasoning to provide context and actionability. With these capabilities, teams can reduce manual effort in daily operations, shorten investigation time, and ensure consistent handling of tasks such as user provisioning, vulnerability digests, and alert enrichment.
“AI assistants are no longer a shiny add-on,” he added. “According to Gartner, 88% of security operations leaders are either already piloting them (42%) or have the rollout pencilled in for the next budget cycle (46%). If your stack still relies on manual rule adjustments, you are the slowest zebra in the herd.
“These assistants plug into the tools you already use, scan configurations and live data, and answer questions in plain English (or Hindi, for example),” Flechter said. “They can suggest queries or quick-fix scripts, reducing the alert queue without forcing you to learn a new rule language. Gartner lists them as an emerging class of Cybersecurity AI Assistants that boost analysts and security operations’ productivity, while fully autonomous response is still on the horizon.”
Sola’s new Vibe Canvas feature is an AI-powered, vibe-coding interface builder inside Sola. Enhanced by Sola’s robust data ingestion and analysis machine, it allows security practitioners to build any kind of interface, including dashboards, reports, guides, games, or even full web apps, all instantly connected to their security data, expanding the vibe coding experience to address the real-life needs of security teams.
Every canvas is data-first, automatically connected to the queries and information behind it, and security-native by design, built with an understanding of both how to construct the workspace and what data is required to answer critical security questions.
Flechter concluded with some takeaways about the importance of AI adoption.
Start small and prove value: Select one nagging pain point, such as admin-rights sprawl, run an A ⁄ B test, and let the metrics decide whether the assistant stays.
Earn trust one step at a time: Expand the assistant after each use case proves reliable and factual. Speed must be sustainable: Fold AI into day-to-day work, track its impact, and iterate based on data rather than hype.
Build AI into the architecture, not on the side: An embedded assistant digests posture data and shows only the alerts that matter, keeping noise at bay.
The payoff: A calmer queue and a security posture that grows with the business instead of reacting to the breach headline of the week.
“Sola is a force-multiplier for security teams, and we just made it ten times stronger,” Flechter said. “With agentic workflows and the new vibe canvases, practitioners are truly limited only by their imagination. Now every team, not just the big or technical ones, have access to security tools that are fast, adaptable, and effective, with automation and workspaces they can rely on immediately. Words really don’t do it justice, even if you’ve tried Sola before, you’ll be blown away by what the team has done.”
