Managed detection and response startup Daylight Security Inc. announced it raised $80 million in new funding following 40-fold revenue growth over the past year, as reported by Silicon Angle.
Daylight provides managed security operations where artificial intelligence agents handle routine tasks, while human engineers manage complex decisions. The company offers three service models: full outsourcing, joint operations, or embedding Daylight engineers within a client's team. Clients also utilize the Aura platform to investigate environments using natural language or to search centralized data lakes. Daylight claims its service detects threats in seconds and contains them in minutes, which it asserts is 10 times faster than traditional providers.
Its coverage extends to internal enterprise AI systems, monitoring for risks such as prompt injection. Notable customers include Miro, LastPass US LP and dLocal Ltd. Chief Executive Hagai Shapira stated the industry is shifting from headcount-based security to measuring how effectively AI agents manage complex workloads. The Series B round was led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, bringing total funding to $120 million.
Daylight plans to use the capital to expand its presence in the United States and enter markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, while continuing to develop its engineering and technology teams.
