Israeli cybersecurity startup Sweet Security today announced raising $75 million in a Series B funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $120 million.
The investment round was led by Evolution Equity Partners, with additional support from Glilot Capital Partners, Key1 Capital, and Munich Re Ventures.
Founded in 2023 by a retired Israeli army CISO, Sweet Security offers AI-powered security solutions that deliver real-time threat detection and response across cloud and AI.
Tackling the Runtime Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) segment, the company’s end-to-end solution prioritizes risk, detection, investigation, and remediation.
Additionally, Sweet Security has built an AI Security Platform (AISP) that can expose shadow AI by discovering every LLM server, AI agent, and services that use AI.
It can uncover AI interactions and potential misconfigurations, along with over-permissioned access. It can also detect and prevent attacks such as prompt injections, flag abnormal model behavior in real time, and perform AI infrastructure assessments.
Hot on the heels of newly introduced security capabilities targeting the full AI lifecycle, Sweet Security plans to use the new investment to accelerate global expansion and product innovation.
“Cloud attacks no longer follow predictable patterns – they evolve dynamically, just like the AI systems enterprises are now building. Protecting those environments demands real-time understanding of how models, agents, and workloads behave – not static snapshots of configurations,” Sweet Security co-founder and CEO Dror Kashti said.
Sweet Security emerged from stealth mode in August 2023, with $12 million in funding. It raised $33 million in Series A funding in March 2024.
