Noma Security Secures $100M Series B to Become the Foundational Layer for Agentic AI Security

Noma Security, the unified platform safeguarding enterprises from AI agent risks, has closed a $100 million Series B round led by Evolution Equity Partners, with participation from Ballistic Ventures and Glilot Capital. This brings the startup’s total funding to approximately $132 million in under two years - a remarkable pace of innovation in AI-native cybersecurity.
Since emerging from stealth in November 2024 with just $32M, Noma has reported a 1,300% year-over-year ARR increase, supported by early traction from Fortune 500 clients in financial services, life sciences, retail, and big tech.
Reimagining Cybersecurity for Autonomous Agents
Noma Security tackles the unique vulnerabilities of agentic AI systems - autonomous agents that generate outputs, execute actions, and interact with enterprise systems. Their unified platform spans continuous AI discovery, governance and posture management, red teaming, and runtime protection - specifically designed to identify and mitigate risks before an agent behaves unexpectedly or maliciously.
It provides real-time monitoring that tracks agent behavior, data access, vulnerability exposure, and configuration drift - an indispensable layer when agents can autonomously issue refunds, issue code changes, or access internal systems.
Noma's Strategic Masterstroke
Rather than incrementally improving security, Noma rewrote the playbook: they positioned agentic AI itself as the attack surface, not just an output channel. That pivot allowed them to become the protocol layer enterprise security leaders expect to exist - not just another tool they might consider.
As AI agents become mission-critical in functions like marketing, DevOps, and risk automation, their governance becomes unavoidable. Noma didn’t chase agent users - they designed the platform that CISOs assume will exist beneath every agent architecture. That shift - from optional security vendor to mandatory infrastructure layer - is the architecture of retention.
When your product neutralizes a new category of risk - one that stakeholders now assume exists - you don’t sell value. You inherit it.
Adoption by Enterprise Leaders Underpins Rapid Growth
Customers reportedly process hundreds of millions of AI prompts every month through Noma’s platform, scanning across environments including model registries, cloud services, and developer pipelines. Enterprise CISOs have called Noma "the only vendor to offer an end‑to‑end platform purpose‑built for agentic AI governance."
Investors echoed that confidence. Evolution Equity’s Richard Seewald described Noma as "the Okta for AI agents," highlighting the firm's foresight and rapid product-market fit within enterprise CISO teams.
Dual Headquarters, Global Ambition
Originally founded in 2023 by Niv Braun and Alon Tron, both former Israeli military intelligence engineers, Noma grew from stealth to prominence by November 2024. It now employs roughly 40 engineers and go-to-market staff across Tel Aviv and New York. With the new capital, they’re poised to scale operations across North America, EMEA, and Asia, focusing on regulated industries where AI risk management is not optional.
What’s Next: Scaling AI Threat Management as Regulation Emerges
Funds will fuel expansion of the platform’s core capabilities - especially around AI runtime protection, threat simulation, and regulatory compliance (including EU AI Act alignment). Noma plans to double R&D and research teams in Tel Aviv and deepen go-to-market in North America and Europe.
Their roadmap includes building mature integrations with platforms like Databricks, cloud providers, and agent orchestration environments - making the platform invisible but indispensable.
Why Agentic AI Security Is Becoming Enterprise Infrastructure
With industry adoption predictions showing 83% of organizations deploying AI agents by 2028, the window for establishing infrastructure-scale tools is wide open.
As enterprise AI scales, tools like Noma become not optional luxuries but mandatory risk governance layers. Their core mission aligns with emerging boardroom and regulatory frameworks - positioning them not just as vendors, but as standards.
