Daylight, an Israeli cybersecurity company, has raised $80 million in Series B funding to expand its AI-powered cybersecurity services for enterprise customers.
The funding round was led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, with participation from new investor Okta Ventures and existing investors Bain Capital, Craft Ventures, Vintage Partners and Maple Capital.
The latest investment brings Daylight’s total funding to $120 million. The company did not disclose its valuation, but sources cited in the announcement put it at approximately $400 million.
Combining AI Agents with Human Cybersecurity Experts
Daylight combines artificial intelligence agents with human security experts to help businesses detect, investigate and respond to cyber threats.
Its AI-native platform uses customised agents that are built and managed by security engineers to match each customer’s systems, workflows, risks and priorities. These agents handle routine security operations, while human engineers focus on complex decisions that require experience and judgment.
Customers can choose from different service models, including fully managed security operations, co-managed services alongside internal security teams, or support from forward-deployed engineers.
The company says this approach is helping it meet growing demand from large enterprises and AI-native businesses. Daylight reported that its revenue increased more than 40 times over the past year.
Its customers include Lovable, LastPass, Rogo, dLocal and Miro.
Experienced Cybersecurity Founders
Daylight was founded in early 2025 by CEO Hagai Shapira and CTO Eldad Rudich. The founders first met while serving in an Israeli military intelligence unit and later held senior positions at Israeli cybersecurity company Torq.
The company currently has 80 employees, including 43 based in Israel.
Shapira says, “The future of security operations won’t be defined by how many people a company can deploy, but by how effectively AI agents can take on increasingly complex security work. As these agents become more capable, they’ll fundamentally change how threats are detected, investigated, and contained, with expert security engineers implementing, governing, and continuously improving their operations. At Daylight, we’re already bringing this vision to life through an agent-native model that combines the speed and scale of AI with the judgment and oversight of human experts. We’re building the foundation for a new era of security operations.”
Funding to Support Growth
The $80 million Series B will support Daylight’s continued growth as demand for AI-driven cybersecurity services increases. Its platform is designed to help organisations manage security operations by combining automated threat detection and response with human expertise.
With $120 million in total funding, Daylight plans to build on its growing enterprise customer base and expand its AI-powered security capabilities.
