Summary
Funds will support expanding Pillars R&D and go-to-market efforts.As organizations rapidly build and deploy AI-driven software systems, traditional cybersecurity tools and processes are struggling to keep pace, creating critical protection gaps. Pillars technology, backed by real-world AI threat intelligence, is built with this understanding, delivering a new class of protection designed explicitly for AI-related security risks. Pillars tailored red teaming provides critical insights that continuously enrich their adaptive guardrails, uniquely aligned with each AI applications specific risk profile and business objectives this was a game-changer for us, said Tomer Maman, CISO @ Similarweb.Businesses leveraging AI face a rapidly evolving set of risks from model integrity and data poisoning to supply chain threats, and sophisticated inference attacks, said Navot Volk at Ground Up Ventures. This unique visibility fuels Pillars advanced threat modeling and precision risk engines, proactively detecting and countering live AI attacks in production. In addition, Pillars research team recently exposed critical vulnerabilities, including the in GitHub Copilot and Cursor, and published an industry-first against LLMs revealing that attacks average just 42 seconds, with 20% of jailbreaks succeeding.
