Axonius Plans 66 Job Cuts as It Reshapes Engineering Around AI

Axonius informed employees on November 9 that it plans to reduce its workforce as it reorganizes engineering around AI-driven software development. The Israeli-founded cybersecurity company expects 66 of its 722 employees worldwide to leave, about 9% of its workforce. In Israel, 46 of the development organization's 207 employees have been summoned to pre-dismissal hearings, representing about 22% of that team. The restructuring affects part of the company's global engineering organization, with the largest impact in Israel. CEO Joe Diamond said the way software is built had changed over recent months and the company was adapting its organizational structure to that change. Diamond said: "Each person is being notified individually and is being offered support for this transition." Axonius develops a platform that helps organizations identify and manage devices, applications and other digital assets, locate gaps in security coverage and enforce security policies. The company was founded in 2017 by Dean Sysman, Ofri Shur and Avidor Bartov. It previously cut about 100 jobs in November 2025, when its workforce numbered around 900. Another reduction in February 2026 affected about 40 positions, mainly relatively senior marketing and sales roles, including seven in Israel.
