AI security startup HiddenLayer has successfully raised $100 million in a Series B funding round led by Delta-v Capital. This funding comes as enterprises increasingly prioritize securing their AI deployments, with Gartner projecting a significant rise in spending on AI security tools, expected to reach nearly $4.78 billion next year.
The surge in demand for AI security solutions is driven by the growing recognition of potential vulnerabilities in AI models and workflows. HiddenLayer's co-founder and CEO, Chris Sestito, noted that the company's annual recurring revenue has increased more than tenfold over the past year, primarily due to new customer acquisitions in sectors like financial services and large tech companies.
Looking ahead, HiddenLayer plans to utilize the new funding to expand its product offerings and enhance its sales and distribution efforts. The company aims to address emerging threats such as prompt injection and malicious tool use, while also exploring opportunities in the European and EMEA markets. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
