Israeli cybersecurity startup Bold Security has secured $28 million in a Series A funding round to advance its AI-driven endpoint security platform. The round included participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, Picture Capital, and Red Dot Capital Partners, reinforcing investor confidence in the company’s approach to protecting organizations in the age of AI-powered workflows. The latest funding brings Bold Security’s total capital raised to about $40 million, including a $12 million seed round in 2024 that was led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Picture Capital, with additional backing from Cerca and several angel investors. Founded in 2024 by Nati Hazut, Hadar Krasner, and Omri Mallis, the company develops technology that turns enterprise computers into active AI-powered security agents capable of performing real-time risk analysis directly on the device. Instead of relying solely on cloud-based monitoring, Bold’s platform runs AI models locally on endpoints, allowing faster threat detection and response. Traditional endpoint security tools often depend heavily on cloud analysis, which can delay detection and increase infrastructure costs. Bold’s architecture processes activity directly on the device, enabling systems to understand user behavior, AI-tool interactions, and potential threats as they occur. This approach allows organizations to respond immediately to suspicious actions while also maintaining greater privacy and operational efficiency. By transforming endpoints into autonomous AI security layers, the platform aims to address the growing risks created by the widespread use of generative AI tools and decentralized workflows inside enterprises. Following the funding, the company plans to expand its engineering team and scale operations, with expectations to double its workforce by the end of 2026 as demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions continues to rise.
