Bold Security Emerges From Stealth With $40 Million in Funding

"One of the biggest challenges with endpoint security is protecting users without slowing them down. As AI becomes part of daily workflows, Bold helps us apply security in a way that's effective but unobtrusive, so teams can keep moving fast without creating new risks."

"Bold Security relies on AI agents to turn passive security monitoring into active protection. The startup's solution runs AI directly on enterprise endpoints, focusing on understanding what users and AI tools are doing on those devices, to provide immediate protection."

"By running AI directly on devices, the solution provides behavior monitoring, real-time data classification, and policy enforcement without latency. The startup's approach also provides privacy by default, as all data is analyzed locally, it is never used to train Bold's AI models, and evidence storage is controlled by the customer."

Bold Security, a New York-based cybersecurity startup led by CEO Nati Hazut, emerged from stealth with $40 million in funding from Bessemer Venture Partners, Picture Capital, and Red Dot Capital Partners. The company uses AI agents running directly on enterprise endpoints to transform passive security monitoring into active protection. Bold's custom AI models analyze user behavior, data interactions, and business context to detect and prevent risks in real time. The platform provides behavior monitoring, real-time data classification, and policy enforcement without latency. Privacy is maintained through local data analysis, with no data used for model training and customer-controlled evidence storage. The startup has already gained adoption among large US enterprises and plans to invest in advancing AI capabilities and expanding globally.
