Vibe coding security firm Backslash Security today announced raising $19 million in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $27 million.
The investment round was led by Kompas VC, with additional support from Artofin Venture Capital, First Rays Capital, Maniv, and StageOne Ventures.
Founded in 2022, the Tel Aviv-based startup has built an end-to-end security platform for securing vibe coding and AI-native application development.
Backslash aims to secure the attack surface from the ground up, throughout the entire development lifecycle. It covers AI agents, IDEs, MCPs, and prompt workflows and rules, as well as governance controls.
The company’s platform unifies multiple security control points in a single product, providing organizations with visibility into their entire AI development stack and with granular event monitoring.
It also enables organizations to apply guardrails across their tools, and provides malicious behavior detection, protection, and response capabilities.
Backslash will use the fresh investment to expand its R&D team and operations, to deepen its platform’s capabilities, and scale go-to-market efforts across the US and Europe.
“AI has fundamentally changed how software is built regardless of industry, and is dramatically increasing security risk. Backslash’s purpose-built platform is addressing this shift with a new security model designed for AI-driven development from day one,” Kompas VC partner Talia Rafaeli said.
