Pluto Security raises $34M to secure AI agents in real time
Reports indicate Pluto Security, an Israeli cybersecurity startup, has raised $34 million, with the company’s total fundraising now reaching $42 million. Founded by Shahar Bahat, the company has introduced a platform aimed at protecting AI agents in real time.
The round was reportedly led by Jump Capital and TLV Partners, with participation from Ansa Capital and angel investors. Pluto emerged from stealth last October, with claims of securing over 1 million endpoints and signing dozens of enterprise customers. Its focus on AI agent security reflects a broader trend in funding for the space—HiddenLayer raised $100 million in September, while Pluto’s own earlier funding activity was disclosed in October.
The timing suggests enterprise interest in AI security may be accelerating, particularly for agent-based workflows. Pluto’s real-time protection could differentiate it from broader AI security tools, though competition is intensifying as startups rush to address the same gap. How effectively Pluto scales its customer base will determine whether its approach becomes a standard or a niche offering.
