$100 Million Bet on HiddenLayer's AI Security Solutions

HiddenLayer, an Austin-based cybersecurity firm, has secured $100 million in Series B funding led by Delta-v Capital. The investment will help the company grow its engineering teams and expand its platform's ability to defend enterprises against AI-specific cyber threats.

The new capital infusion comes as companies increasingly deploy generative AI and complex, automated agents, exposing their systems to new types of risks, including techniques where attackers manipulate AI responses, exploit model weaknesses, or inject malicious code into data pipelines.

HiddenLayer provides a specialized layer of security designed to detect and block these threats in real-time. The interest from large backers like Microsoft's M12 and Morgan Stanley suggests that institutional capital sees specialized AI security as an essential pillar of the future digital economy.
