Aim Security, a company that is enabling the secure adoption and use of AI across enterprise organizations, announced $18 million in Series A funding led by Canaan Partners, with participation from the company’s seed investor YL Ventures.
Launched by cybersecurity veterans Matan Getz (CEO) and Adir Gruss (CTO), who have broken and built AI platforms, including in the IDF’s elite intelligence Unit 8200.
