Dig Security was founded in Tel Aviv in 2021 by Dan Benjamin, Ido Azrouel, and Gad Akuka. The company focuses on the Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) category. In October 2023, Dig Security was acquired by Palo Alto Networks for approximately $400 million. It now operates as a subsidiary integrated into Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Cloud division. At the time of the acquisition, the company employed roughly 60 people, primarily in Israel.

Dig develops a DSPM and Data Detection and Response (DDR) platform. The software scans public cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and data warehouses like Snowflake to discover and classify sensitive data. It alerts enterprise security teams to data exfiltration risks, misconfigurations, and policy violations in real-time.

Dig operates in the DSPM space, which saw heavy consolidation in 2023. Direct competitors include Cyera, as well as Laminar (acquired by Rubrik) and Polar Security (acquired by IBM). Following its acquisition, Dig's technology serves as the core data security engine for Palo Alto Networks.

The company's core R&D team is based in Tel Aviv. Prior to its acquisition, Dig was backed by Israeli venture creation foundry Team8, alongside SignalFire and Felicis. Following the 2023 exit, the local workforce transitioned into Palo Alto Networks' expanded Israeli R&D operations.
