Lakera, a leading real-time Generative AI security company, has secured $20 million in a Series A funding round led by Atomico, with participation from Citi Ventures, Dropbox Ventures, and existing investors, boosting its total funding to $30 million. As enterprises increasingly adopt Generative AI applications, which are predicted to be used by 80% of enterprises by 2026, Lakera addresses the unique cybersecurity risks these technologies pose. Traditional cybersecurity measures are inadequate against threats such as prompt attacks and AI-targeted worms, prompting a demand for Lakera's innovative solutions that protect without compromising user experience. Their API, easily integrated with a single line of code, provides low-latency security for any GenAI model. Lakera's AI educational platform, Gandalf, which boasts over a million users, contributes to their robust threat database, allowing continuous updates to their security software. The company plans to use the new funding to enhance product development and expand its US presence, capitalizing on its success with clients like Dropbox and a top US bank. Sasha Vidiborskiy of Atomico will join Lakera's board, endorsing the company's thought leadership and expertise in AI cybersecurity.
