Ofer Klein, Gal Nakash and Dr. Tal Shapira founded Reco in 2020 to make enterprise collaboration and SaaS activity understandable as a connected security system. Klein is CEO, Nakash is CPO and Shapira is CTO. Reco announced a $30 million Series B in February 2026, bringing company-reported total funding to $85 million.
Reco now positions itself around the security gap created by thousands of SaaS applications, identities, integrations and AI agents. That evolution is important: the founding idea of mapping context between people and systems has expanded into an identity, access and behavior layer for a more autonomous software environment.

Who is Ofer Klein?
Ofer Klein is Reco's co-founder and CEO. Reco describes him as a former Israeli pilot and serial entrepreneur with experience building go-to-market teams for US SaaS companies.

Klein's role connects a technically complex security graph to an executive buying case. The strongest version of that case is not fear around AI; it is an inventory and control problem that security teams can measure: unknown apps, excessive permissions, risky integrations, privileged identities and anomalous behavior.
Who is Gal Nakash?
Gal Nakash is co-founder and CPO. Reco says he previously served as a lieutenant colonel in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office and worked across security research and cybersecurity leadership.

As CPO, Nakash must convert an expanding threat model into prioritization that administrators can act on. Discovery alone can flood teams with more data. Product value depends on explaining the affected application, identity, permission path, business context and safest remediation.
Who is Dr. Tal Shapira?
Dr. Tal Shapira is co-founder and CTO. Reco describes him as a former cybersecurity R&D leader with doctoral research in machine learning, computer networks and cybersecurity.

Shapira's technical responsibility spans collection, relationship modeling and behavior analysis across services the customer does not control. The system has to remain useful as APIs, permissions, agents and attack methods change, while keeping access proportional to the risk being monitored.
What Reco does
Reco discovers SaaS applications and AI agents, maps identities and access, detects misconfiguration and suspicious behavior, and supports remediation. It presents these relationships through a knowledge graph rather than treating each app as an isolated configuration surface.

The AI-agent expansion makes the model more relevant and more difficult. Agents can inherit tokens, connect services and act through human or machine identities. Buyers need evidence that Reco can distinguish legitimate automation from risky access without becoming another noisy alert source.
