Mindgard Raises $30M for Attacker-Aligned AI Security
Mindgard began with the conclusion that traditional application security was looking at the wrong kind of problem. Research led by Dr. Peter Garraghan at Lancaster University had been examining AI security for more than a decadebefore Mindgard was founded in 2022. The challenge was increasingly clear: AI systems could behave probabilistically and opaquely, introducing exploitable […]
OpenAI’s GPT-5.6-Cyber Turns Access Into a Security Feature
Cybersecurity is starting to challenge that assumption. As advanced models become better at finding vulnerabilities and assisting with complex security research, the question is increasingly about capability and control: who should be allowed to use the most powerful cyber models, under what conditions, and with what safeguards? OpenAI is addressing that problem with GPT-5.6-Cyber, a […]
The Quiet Reason AI Might Make You Less Safe, Not More, and the $60M Bet to Reverse It
A cybersecurity startup called Corma launched this week with $60 million from Sequoia Capital and a single, unsettling claim: the same AI making your company faster is arming your attackers faster than it’s arming your defenders.

Beelzebub Raises €3M for AI-Native Cyber Defense
Most cybersecurity products are built to stop an attacker at the network perimeter. Beelzebub starts from a less comfortable assumption: the attacker may already be inside. The Milan-based cybersecurity startup has raised €3 million in Seed funding, led exclusively by United Ventures. The round follows an earlier €300,000 pre-seed investment and brings the company’s total […]
Glow Raises $180M to Rebuild Endpoint Security for the AI Era
Enterprise devices are filling up with AI assistants, software agents and new applications faster than security teams can approve them. That pace creates a basic visibility problem: organizations cannot protect what they do not know is running. Glow has emerged from stealth with $180 million in funding at a $1.2 billion valuation to build an […]
