AI security startup SplxAI today announced raising $7 million in a seed funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $9 million.
The new funding round was led by LAUNCHub Ventures, with additional support from DNV Ventures, Inovo, Rain Capital, Runtime Ventures, and South Central Ventures. The startup closed a pre-seed funding round in September 2024.
Founded in 2023, the US-based SplxAI says many large enterprises rely on its security platform for the detection, triaging, and remediation of risks in AI agents in real-time.
The platform relies on automated security testing, continuous monitoring, and dynamic remediation to secure internal AI agents and customer-facing AI systems, preventing attacks such as prompt injections, hallucinations, and off-topic responses.
Leveraging a continuously updated database of threats and vulnerabilities, SplxAI’s platform simulates sophisticated adversarial scenarios across text, image, and voice, to automatically detect and address potential attack vectors.
SplxAI relies on hundreds of advanced attack scenarios for automated testing, continuously analyzes logs to identify threat activity, and enables secure and compliant gen-AI development.
Recently, the company announced Agentic Radar, an open source tool for identifying components in agentic workflows, discovering links with missing security measures, and mapping dependencies.
The startup will use the new investment to accelerate the development and adoption of its AI security platform.
“Deploying AI agents at scale introduces significant complexity, creating potential vulnerabilities that only in-depth, continuous testing can uncover. With the rapid advancement of LLMs, manual testing is not feasible. SplxAI’s advanced platform is the only scalable solution for securing agentic AI, providing security leaders with the tools they need to confidently embrace AI,” SplxAI co-founder and CEO Kristian Kamber said.
In addition to the new funding, SplxAI announced that Sandy Dunn is joining the company as its CISO. Previously, Dunn served as security officer at Brand Engagement Network, BreachQuest, Blue Cross of Idaho, and HP.
