More Than 20 Cyber Incidents Turn October 2026 Into a Black October
From PHP2Shell and poisoned software releases to cloud breaches and AI-assisted attacks, October’s security incidents revealed how quickly digital vulnerabilities can become operational threats. Cybersecurity is becoming a race against time, with organizations facing shrinking windows to detect, patch, and contain threats before they escalate into real-world attacks. A wave of major cybersecurity incidents and […]
DigiTech ASEAN Thailand 2026 – Where Business Meets Digital Innovation
For companies trying to adopt AI, cloud, cybersecurity or automation, finding technology is rarely the difficult part. Choosing what actually solves a business problem — and finding the right partner to implement it – is harder. That is the role DigiTech ASEAN Thailand 2026 is positioning itself to play when it returns to Bangkok from […]
AI Funding This Week: Capital Moves Into Execution, Security and Physical AI
AI funding this week was less about another race for the biggest model and more about everything required to put advanced intelligence to work. Capital moved into autonomous workflows, AI evaluation, runtime security, observability, developer infrastructure and enterprise data. Outside software, investors backed robotics, quantum computing, neural chips, satellite communications, healthcare infrastructure and agricultural intelligence. […]
Rein Security Raises $25M Series A, Nine Months After an $8M Seed
The file looked routine: a PDF handed to an onboarding agent at a global enterprise. Buried in it was a prompt injection telling the agent to step outside its job. Rein Security says its software caught the out-of-role action and stopped it before any damage was done. That is the case behind Rein’s $25 million […]
Kontext Raises $4M to Put a Security Check Between AI Agents and Real-World Actions
Imagine an AI coding agent asked to fix a production bug. It has authenticated correctly, received access to the repository and been given the tools it needs. Reading the relevant code is reasonable. Running tests is reasonable. But those same credentials may also let the agent inspect unrelated files, call an external service or perform […]
SEED Capital Closes €130M Fund V as Its Danish Seed Model Goes Nordic
The Copenhagen venture firm, SEED Capital has closed €130 million to back 15-17 startups across the Nordics, with initial checks of €3 million to €6 million.

AIR Raises $50M to Secure AI Agents, Skills and MCP Servers
AIR’s researchers started with something that looked harmless: a useful AI skill. They placed it inside a respected open-source ecosystem, where it inherited the credibility of roughly 37,000 GitHub stars, promoted it to ordinary users, and watched security scanners approve it. People installed it. Eventually, AIR says the experiment reached more than 26,000 AI agents. […]
Apate.AI Raises $8.15M to Scale AI Scam Prevention Globally
Somewhere inside a scam operation, a fraudster can spend two hours persuading a victim to hand over money. For Apate.AI, the useful part is that the “victim” may never have existed. The Sydney-born company has built thousands of conversational AI agents designed to behave like believable scam targets. They answer calls and messages, keep fraudsters […]
Prevalent AI Raises $22M to Build Trusted Context for Enterprise AI
Prevalent AI is building around a problem that becomes more dangerous as AI gains more autonomy inside large organizations: fragmented data can turn a fast decision into a wrong one. The London company continuously cleans, connects, and contextualizes information from across complex enterprise systems into a sovereign knowledge graph, giving both human teams and AI […]
Mindgard Raises $30M for Attacker-Aligned AI Security
Mindgard began with the conclusion that traditional application security was looking at the wrong kind of problem. Research led by Dr. Peter Garraghan at Lancaster University had been examining AI security for more than a decadebefore Mindgard was founded in 2022. The challenge was increasingly clear: AI systems could behave probabilistically and opaquely, introducing exploitable […]
Team8 Raises $365M to Back AI-Native Enterprise Startups
AI has lowered the cost of building sophisticated software. A small team can now use frontier models to create in weeks what once demanded years of engineering. For venture firm Team8, that abundance creates a different scarcity: if competitors can access much of the same intelligence, the harder question is what remains valuable after the […]
