Socket Raises $60M Series C at a $1B Valuation to Help Enterprises Build Securely With AI

Socket, a developer-first security platform, has achieved unicorn status with a $60 million Series C funding round led by Thrive Capital, elevating its valuation to $1 billion. As AI continues to revolutionize software development, enterprises are increasingly focused on securing the influx of open-source code without compromising development speed. Socket addresses this need by analyzing the behavior of open-source dependencies to identify and block malicious threats before they enter production, offering real-time detection of novel attacks beyond known vulnerability databases. The recent compromise of a widely used JavaScript package underscores the urgency of robust software supply chain security, a concern highlighted by the OWASP Top 10:2025 survey, where such failures ranked as a top priority. With customers including prominent tech firms and Fortune 100 companies, Socket combines AI-assisted analysis with human verification to help organizations manage dependency risks effectively.
