Armadin has raised an industry record $189.9 million in Seed and Series A funding. Led by Accel, with participation from Google Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Menlo Ventures, In-Q-Tel, and follow-on investment from 8VC and Ballistic Ventures, this marks the largest combined Seed and Series A funding round in cybersecurity history. Armadin’s mission is to prepare organizations for the speed and scale of AI-driven threats.
Closing the Hyperattack Gap
The rise of AI-powered attackers has ushered in the age of Hyperattacks: sophisticated, multi-modal campaigns that move at machine-speed. Traditional human-led defenses are no longer fast enough to bridge the widening security gap, and Armadin is closing this gap by deploying a unified, scalable platform that transforms security by revolutionizing how exploitable risk is identified, proven, and remediated.
“The AI shift is changing cybersecurity more rapidly than any transition in history,” said Kevin Mandia, CEO of Armadin. “In a world of machine-speed attacks, defense must become autonomous. You cannot have a human in the loop for every defense decision and expect to win. We are building the most formidable offense to give organizations the greatest defense. It’s important to national security.”
An Agentic Attacker Swarm
Unlike tools that scan for vulnerabilities, Armadin’s platform features specialized AI agents leveraging custom models in an agentic attacker swarm. These agents continuously reason, plan, and adapt like the most advanced human threat actors and provide CEOs and Boards with decision-grade proof of what can actually be exploited.
“At Accel, we look for companies that don’t just participate in the market, but redefine it,” said Ping Li, Partner at Accel. “Armadin is the first company we’ve seen that truly weaponizes the attacker’s perspective to build a more resilient defense. By combining Kevin’s unrivaled operational experience with a generational AI engineering team, Armadin is delivering the autonomous, comprehensive system of record for an enterprise’s security posture that boards and CISOs have been demanding for years.”
“The most honest measure of security has always been the offensive lens,” said Evan Peña, Founder and Chief Offensive Security Officer. “At Armadin, we are taking decades of human-led red teaming expertise and reinforcing it into AI models. These models are learning our tactics and techniques and are outpacing our human operators at every turn.”
“Security expertise is a constrained resource that organizations never have enough of in the moments when it matters most,” added Travis Lanham, Founder and Chief Technology Officer. “Before Armadin, you could not put a nation-state level adversary inside every network 24/7. We’ve built the ultimate attacker – it doesn’t just follow a script, it reasons and learns as it swarms your defenses. We train our models and build agents to the standards of a world-class red team with safety at the foundation and unleash them to identify exploitable risk at machine speed. We believe that this is the only way to prepare for the coming wave of AI Hyperattacks.”
Armadin’s founding team is a rare fusion of elite red teaming experts and AI researchers and engineers under the leadership of Kevin Mandia, who maintains deep, trusted relationships across Fortune 100 companies, federal law enforcement agencies, and defense departments.

Reclaim Security, a preemptive exposure-remediation platform, announced $26 million in total funding, including a recent $20 million Series A round led by Acrew Capital, with participation from QP Ventures and Ibex Investors. The funding will accelerate the company’s mission to eliminate what many security leaders consider cybersecurity’s most persistent gap: remediation.
As attacker breakout times have fallen to as little as 27 seconds, enterprises still require an average of 27 days to remediate critical exposures. Over the past decade, organizations have invested heavily in detection tools to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, yet resolving them remains largely manual, slow, and operationally risky. The result is an expanding backlog of exposures that security teams identify but struggle to safely close.
“There is a massive ‘Remediation Mirage’ in the market right now. Vendors are slapping an AI label on what is essentially just Prioritization 2.0 or faster ticket management,” says Barak Klinghofer, CEO and Co-founder of Reclaim Security.
”The recent launch of Claude Code, which wiped billions from the market value of traditional security giants, is a massive wake-up call. While such tools can identify hundreds of vulnerabilities in seconds, they also hand attackers an autonomous, high-speed engine for exploit generation. We’ve seen reports of AI-orchestrated espionage campaigns where 80-90% of tactical operations were executed autonomously. In this new reality, if your ‘remediation’ strategy still ends with a human reviewing a manual Jira ticket, you aren’t just slow, you’ve lost the race.
Reclaim is the only platform providing true Agentic Remediation. Through our PIPE engine, we’ve removed the fear of ‘breaking the business,’ allowing our AI to move from discovery to resolution in seconds. While others are perfecting the recommendation, we are perfecting the execution.”
Automating Cybersecurity’s “Last Mile”
Reclaim’s platform introduces the industry’s first AI Security Engineer, an autonomous system designed not only to identify exposures, but to resolve them safely and at scale.
At the core of the platform is PIPE (Productivity Impact Prediction Engine), a simulation engine that predicts the operational and business impact of a proposed security change before it is deployed. By accurately modeling how changes impact applications, workloads, user productivity and business processes, organizations can implement remediation without risking downtime or operational disruption.
This simulation-first approach enables organizations to:
Reclaim analyzes how real attack techniques would traverse a specific environment, evaluates how existing defenses would respond, and predicts the operational impact of remediation before changes are deployed. By combining advanced attack path modeling with business-aware remediation, the company eliminates exploitable pathways safely and at scale. This approach enables a shift away from reactive “assume breach” strategies toward proactively removing exposure without disrupting critical business operations.
Real World Impact
Early enterprise customers across financial services, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure sectors report measurable results, including 80% increase in overall threat resilience, 75% increase in ROI from existing security stack and 90% reduction in manual effort when resolving critical exposures
“Security tools are excellent at explaining why something is risky,” said Mark Kraynak, Founding Partner at Acrew Capital. “What they don’t do is make remediation safe and practical. The real breakthrough isn’t more prioritization, it’s removing risk without breaking the business. Reclaim does exactly that, and that’s why it matters.”

Immensa, a Dubai-born deep-tech company transforming how industrial spare parts are managed and produced through Digital Parts Passports, digital warehousing, and distributed manufacturing which includes 3D printing, has raised new funding to support its continued growth and international expansion ahead of its planned Series B round from Dubai Future District Fund (DFDF), Global Ventures, and existing investors.
Founded in Dubai, Immensa enables industrial companies, particularly in the oil and gas and power sectors, to replace physical spare parts inventories with secure digital libraries of certified Digital Parts Passports. Parts can then be produced on demand through Immensa’s global network of qualified production partners, reducing downtime, storage costs, carbon emissions, and complex logistics.
“Immensa represents exactly the kind of advanced industrial technology that aligns with Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda, strengthening manufacturing capabilities, enabling near-shoring of supply chains, and accelerating the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies,” said Nader Albastaki, Managing Director of Dubai Future District Fund. “As a company built in Dubai with global ambitions, Immensa demonstrates how deep-tech innovation developed here can compete internationally across the Middle East, United States, and Europe, while supporting more resilient and sustainable industries.”
Over the course of its operations to date, Immensa has built a growing digital library of qualified spare parts and optimized designs for additive manufacturing. Today, the company operates a subscription-based digital spare parts platform that allows clients to store inventories digitally and produce only when required. The company retains its manufacturing operations in Dubai and Dammam as centers of excellence.
Noor Sweid, Founder and Managing Partner of Global Ventures, said: “Immensa is revolutionising how supply chains work by enabling on-demand production of critical spare parts at scale. By localising advanced manufacturing while remaining integrated into global supply networks, the company is addressing a core vulnerability in how industries manage inventory, cost, and disruption. As Immensa enters its next phase of growth, it is well-positioned to play a meaningful role in strengthening supply chain resilience from Dubai to the world.”
“We built Immensa to rethink how critical industrial assets are supplied and maintained,” said Fahmi Al Shawwa, Founder and CEO of Immensa. “Instead of warehouses full of rarely used parts, we enable companies to store inventory digitally and produce only what they need, when and where they need it. This investment supports our next phase of growth as we expand internationally and work with global industrial operators to modernize their supply chains.”
Immensa currently serves major industrial operators around the world, reflecting the global relevance of its technology for asset-intensive industries. The new investment will be used to further develop the company’s digital platform, expand its global production network, and support enterprise deployments with large industrial clients.

TruDoc Healthcare today announced the successful closure of a $15 million Pre-Series B funding round. The round saw significant participation from the Al Nahyan and Al-Ketbi families, alongside continued support from existing investor Pulsar Capital.
The investment reflects growing confidence in healthcare models that move beyond hospitals as physical destinations, toward systems that deliver continuous, clinical-grade care wherever patients are. TruDoc is using the capital to deepen its position as a single, accountable virtual first healthcare provider, while expanding what is already the largest at-home critical care deployment in the GCC.
TruDoc is fundamentally re-architecting the patient journey, by combining virtual-first primary care, longitudinal chronic disease management, pharmacy-at-home, diagnostics, in-home services, and the region’s largest hospital-at-home critical care program, TruDoc delivers continuous care across the full lifecycle of a patient—not just moments of illness. The result is faster intervention, fewer hospital admissions, better adherence, and a single accountable care partner for patients, payors, and providers alike.
This capital infusion signals a paradigm shift toward healthcare that follows the patient, not the facility. TruDoc is leveraging this investment to solidify its role as the GCC’s primary accountable care partner, scaling the region’s most sophisticated at-home critical care deployment.
By fusing virtual-first primary care with longitudinal disease management and hospital-grade home diagnostics, TruDoc is dismantling the region’s fragmented legacy systems. This ‘Care Operating System’ bypasses physical infrastructure bottlenecks, delivering 24/7 clinical interventions that improve adherence and keep patients out of high-cost hospital beds. From streamlining insurer costs to expanding governmental care capacity, TruDoc is turning healthcare into mission-critical virtual infrastructure that serves the UAE and Saudi Arabia at population scale.
Dr. Ahmed Mansour, CEO, Private Department of H.E. SH. Mohamed Bin Khaled Al Nahyan, said: “Healthcare systems everywhere are being asked to do more—serve more people, manage more chronic disease, and deliver better outcomes—without endlessly expanding physical infrastructure. TruDoc represents a fundamentally different approach: one that scales access and efficiency while maintaining clinical integrity. This model is well aligned with the UAE’s long-term priorities and the future of healthcare delivery across the Middle East. Believing in TruDoc model to lead this market innovation and increase the ultimate efficiency of the healthcare industry.”
Vish Narain, Executive Chairman at TruDoc, said: “For centuries, healthcare has been organised around buildings—patients moving toward facilities, systems optimised for episodic care. That architecture no longer reflects how people live, age, or manage chronic disease. What TruDoc is building is healthcare as infrastructure: continuous, accountable, and designed to operate beyond four walls, at population scale.”
Asad Khan, CEO at TruDoc, said: “The question is no longer whether high-quality care can be delivered outside hospitals—it’s how fast healthcare systems can adapt to that reality. TruDoc has shown that hospital-grade, high-acuity care can be delivered safely and effectively in homes, at scale. This capital allows us to expand that model across the GCC while staying relentlessly focused on clinical excellence and patient trust.”

Rimal Semiconductors, a Saudi-based chip design startup, has raised a bridge funding round from Keheilan Asset Management alongside an undisclosed regional investor, bolstering its ambitions to expand its role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.
The new capital will advance Rimal’s plan to scale as a fabless semiconductor company—focusing on chip design while relying on international foundries for manufacturing. The startup already works with partners in Taiwan, South Korea, and China, and is now in talks with US foundries to further broaden its production footprint.
Rimal frames this distributed model as a strategic response to the increasingly fragmented semiconductor landscape, where US–China tensions continue to reshape supply chains and limit market access for many firms.
By keeping its intellectual property under Saudi ownership while diversifying manufacturing across multiple geographies, the company aims to ensure its chip designs can reach global customers regardless of where fabrication takes place.
The startup is also close to finalizing a distribution agreement with a regional partner covering Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and the UAE. The deal includes on‑the‑ground engineering teams to support clients in each market.
Rimal currently has six contracts in advanced stages, including one with a major Egyptian conglomerate. The projects span defence technologies, power grid systems, and data‑centre infrastructure—sectors where demand for specialized semiconductor solutions continues to accelerate.
