The cybersecurity sector is seeing significant investment in AI-driven security platforms designed to counter automated cyberattacks.

In early October 2026, the US-based startup Armadin secured $255.5 million in Series B funding, reaching a valuation of over $2.5 billion. The company utilizes autonomous AI agent swarms to conduct continuous vulnerability testing and simulate coordinated attacks within secure sandboxes.

Shortly after, the Dutch startup Hadrian raised $40 million to expand its international operations. Hadrian is developing an agentic AI platform featuring products like Atlas for attack surface mapping and Nova for on-demand penetration testing, aiming to provide greater visibility into critical exposures and reduce resolution times.
