Impart Security Raises $12M Series A for Production-Trusted AI Security Platform
Major enterprises deploy proven technology that reduces security rule deployment from weeks to minutes SAN FRANCISCO, June 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Impart Security today announced the general availability of the industry's first Application Detection and Response Engineering Platform, which security teams trust to build autonomous workflows for production environments. The launch comes alongside a $12 million Series A funding round led by Madrona Ventures, with participation from CRV and 8-Bit Capital. As a result of the financing, Madrona Managing Director Karan Mehandru has joined the board. Impart's breakthrough platform already protects major enterprises, including a major financial services firm and a global entertainment conglomerate, by defending against threats in real-time without requiring human oversight, achieving what security experts called impossible until now. "This isn't just about better security tools—we're fundamentally changing how enterprises engineer application protection," said Jonathan DiVincenzo, CEO of Impart Security. "When AI can be trusted to manage production changes without oversight, it transforms from an assistant into an autonomous operator. That's the difference between traditional approaches to application security and genuine business transformation." The Fundamental Problem – Enterprise security teams have long been trapped in an impossible tradeoff: allowing attacks through or risking production outages. Traditional security solutions force teams to choose between robust protection and system stability, leading most organizations to operate with minimal security settings rather than risk disrupting critical business operations. This defensive posture leaves applications vulnerable to the very threats security teams are tasked to prevent. The Breakthrough: Programmable WASM Rules – While fully autonomous application security has been promised for years, trust and safety concerns have prevented real-world deployment. Impart's platform leverages WebAssembly isolation technology to create secure sandbox environments where security teams, assisted by AI agents, can design, develop, and test security rules against live traffic patterns without risk of lateral movement or production impact. Not only does WASM provide secure isolation, but it's also highly performant with ahead-of-time compilation and portable across platforms. This foundational innovation unlocks unparalleled safety and agility in Impart's platform, allowing security teams to rapidly iterate and deploy security controls in production environments with unprecedented speed and confidence. Early results demonstrate the impact: Impart's AI has successfully deployed over 2,400 security rules across customer environments, reducing average deployment time from 18 days to 45 minutes while maintaining 99.97% uptime—better than most human-managed security systems. "We've evaluated every AI native security platform on the market, but they all had the same fatal flaw: they still required human review for production changes," said Chris Castaldo, CISO at Crossbeam. "Impart is the first platform our team trusts to make autonomous production changes. In three months, it's caught dozens of attack patterns our previous tools missed entirely while never causing a single service disruption." Autonomous Security Engineering at Scale – Impart's platform deploys a growing number of specialized AI agents that function as a coordinated team of application security engineers, including: Traffic Inspector – Continuously inspects traffic flows to identify behavioral patterns and baselines Detection Engineer – Spots anomalies and potential threats as they emerge in real-time Security Architect – Develops and tests security rules within isolated sandbox environments Rule Engineer – Adapts defenses based on new attack vectors and threat intelligence The technology recently proved its value during a sophisticated application attack targeting multiple Impart customers simultaneously. While traditional security teams would have required days to analyze the attack pattern and deploy a virtual patch, Impart's AI identified the threat signature, generated custom detection rules, and deployed protection across all affected environments within minutes of the initial attack. Investor Validation After Rigorous Technical Diligence – "We evaluated dozens of AI security companies, but Impart was the only one that stood out because of its breadth, depth, and usability," said Karan Mehandru, Managing Director at Madrona. "Every enterprise we speak with desperately wants to leverage the incredible benefits of AI and unlock innovation, yet none of that is possible without a comprehensive security platform that is proactive, fully autonomous, AI-native, and ultimately removes the burden from security teams who are drowning in point tools. The feedback we received from multiple CISOs we spoke with was unambiguous and overwhelmingly positive about Impart's differentiation as a product and their leadership team, led by Jonathan DiVincenzo. It is clear to us that Impart has solved the last mile problem that had previously limited AI from being truly transformative in enterprise and from deploying applications into production." Industry Transformation Ahead – The Series A funding will accelerate Impart's expansion into three key enterprise segments: financial services, healthcare, and infrastructure providers—industries where security speed directly impacts business operations. The company is also launching partnerships with major cloud platforms and channel partners to integrate autonomous security capabilities directly into enterprise deployment pipelines. "We're thrilled to partner with Karan and the team at Madrona," said DiVincenzo. "As we enter our next phase of growth, Karan's go-to-market expertise will be invaluable as we expand our sales and marketing efforts while continuing to strengthen the platform that has resonated so strongly with the market." About Impart Security Impart Security delivers the world's first AI security platform trusted to operate autonomously in production environments. Using code based rules and an integrated security IDE, Impart provides adaptive, intelligent protection for APIs and web applications without human oversight or operational burden. Founded by security veterans from major technology companies, Impart is backed by Madrona and serves Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, healthcare, and cloud infrastructure.

Trend Micro and IGP Photonics have been highlighted as Zacks Bull and Bear of the Day
Chicago, IL – June 4, 2025 – Zacks Equity Research shares Trend Micro TMICY as the Bull of the Day and IGP Photonics IPGP as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on Broadcom AVGO. Here is a synopsis of all three stocks. Trend Micro has joined the growing number of cybersecurity stocks that have gained traction, including CrowdStrike, CyberArk Software, Palo Alto Networks and Zscaler. Outside of Zscaler, Trend Micro has outperformed most of its popular cybersecurity peers this year and is sitting on gains of over +40%. Offering endpoint, messaging, and web security software, what further separates Trend Micro is its more reasonable valuation, although the growth of these popular cybersecurity firms is starting to justify their premiums to the broader market. That said, Trend Micro's strong financial results and strategic growth initiatives are very compelling, with TMICY sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and landing the Bull of the Day. At the forefront of Trend Micro's expansion is its Vision One unified cybersecurity platform, which is designed to provide advanced threat detection, risk management, and security automation across multiple environments for the enterprise. Simplifying security operations for businesses while providing proactive risk management, Trend Micro serves over 10,000 large enterprise customers worldwide, with Vision One being widely adopted by financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and government agencies. Highlighted as a leading XDR platform (Extended Detection and Response), enterprises have flocked to Trend Vision One because of the platform's ability to adapt to AI-driven threats, using machine learning to detect and respond to sophisticated cyberattacks. It's also noteworthy that Vision One protects cloud-native applications and digital workloads, putting Trend Micro in a prime position to compete with Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, and other cloud security leaders. Also contributing to Trend Micro's expansion is that it has multiple partnerships across various industries, including with cloud providers, other cybersecurity firms, and managed service providers: Microsoft – Integrates Trend Micro's security solutions with Azure for enhanced cloud protection. Amazon's AWS – Collaborates on cloud security and threat intelligence for AWS customers. Alphabet's Google Cloud – Works together on AI-driven cybersecurity and cloud-native security solutions. Cisco Systems – Partners on network security and endpoint protection. VMware – Provides virtualization security for VMware environments. Outside of traditional cybersecurity for the enterprise, Trend Micro's Scam Check Tool had 16,000 active users during Q1, boosting its consumer revenue by 14% from the prior year quarter. Based on Zacks' estimates, Trend Micro's total sales are expected to be up 10% in fiscal 2025 and are projected to rise another 6% in FY26 to $2.11 billion. Notably, FY26 sales projections would represent 22% growth over the last five years, with Trend Micro's top line more than doubling over the last decade in correlation with the need to combat the rising number of cyber threats. Most suggestive of more upside in Trend Micro stock is that FY25 and FY26 EPS estimates are up over 3% and 7% in the last 30 days, respectively. Trend Micro's annual earnings are now expected to spike 30% this year to $2.05 per share, versus EPS of $1.57 in 2024. Plus, FY26 EPS is projected to rise another 16%. Making the positive EPS revisions very enticing is that TMICY trades at 37.4X forward earnings, with the next cheapest P/E valuation among its afore-noted cybersecurity peers being Zscaler at 95.5X. In terms of price to sales, Trend Micro also stands out with a forward P/S ratio of 5.4X, which is near the S&P 500 with CrowdStrike, CyberArk, Palo Alto, and Zscaler all trading at a least 14X or more. While many cybersecurity stocks are intriguing at the moment, investors who may be keeping their risk tolerance in mind could be more comfortable selecting Trend Micro. With its consumer business expansion supporting the growth of the popular Trend Vision One platform, more upside for TMICY looks justified at current levels when considering the premium investors are paying for cybersecurity stocks. Falling 30% year to date, the trend of declining earnings estimate revisions points to more downside risk for IGP Photonics stock. After much hype in recent years, investor sentiment has diminished for the laser systems and components provider due to shrinking operating margins amid lower demand for materials processing products. To that point, IPGP has fallen mightily from its all-time peaks of over $200 a share, and unfortunately, the slide could continue as IPG's stock lands a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) and the Bear of the Day. Although IPG was able to exceed its Q1 expectations in early May, sales fell 9% from the comparative quarter to $227.79 million. More concerning, earnings dropped 40% to $0.31 a share from EPS of $0.52 in Q1 2024. Attributing to the top and bottom-line decline were tariff-related costs, which have reduced demand for material product applications that rely heavily on IPG's high-performance lasers. Furthermore, IPG warned that tariff-related delays could slow shipments and further impact its profit margins. Leading to much anguish, IPG expects Q2 EPS between $0.05-$0.25 versus $0.45 a share in the prior period, with sales expected at $210-$240 million compared to $257 million a year ago. Correlating with softer-than-expected guidance, earnings estimate revisions have continued to decline for IPG. Notably, fiscal 2025 and FY26 EPS estimates have now dropped over 37% in the last 60 days, respectively. Making the trend of declining EPS revisions harder to bear is that IPG's stock still trades at an overly stretched premium to the broader market at 63.6X forward earnings. It's also noteworthy that IPGP is trading near its decade-long high in terms of price to forward earnings and is 177% above its median of 25.7X during this period. There are many signs that point to it being time to sell IPG Photonics stock, with IPGP having an overall 'F' VGM Zacks Style Scores grade for the combination of Value, Growth, and Momentum. Ultimately, investing in the company's unique laser services is not worth it right now. Zacks Thematic Screens lets you dive into 30 dynamic investment themes shaping the future.

What is Network Detection and Response (NDR)? What is the significance today?
NDR stands for Network Detection and Response. It is an astute method for safeguarding computer networks. Computers have become an essential component of several enterprises. Incidents transpire with more frequency when many individuals are online. NDR mitigates these hazards beforehand by detecting them at an early stage. ndr mitigates these hazards beforehand by detecting them at an early stage. NDR monitors the flow of data in and out of a computer network. It looks at the traffic to see if it seems normal or if something is off. It notify the security team if it locates something that looks like it could be dangerous. This lets the team stop the threat quickly. A few NDR tools can even answer on their own. They can prevent the threat before it does any real damage. Older tools often have set rules. They might not see new kinds of danger. NDR is different since it learns on its own. It looks at past network behavior to figure out what is normal. It is a red flag when something does not fit the routine. This makes it easy to find threats, even ones that are new or hard to find. It is not easy to stay safe online these days. Now hackers are better than before. They find new ways to do things that simple tools might miss. NDR makes the defense even stronger. It works well with security and anti-virus tools. A lot more businesses now use cloud services. It means that data can move in more ways and through more doors that are open. Attackers may find it easy to get through these doors. These extra cars need ndr to help keep an eye on them. It tracks the data that moves between the cloud and programs on your computer. NDR is also since it gets better over time. It learns and gets better as it sees more information. In other words, it can locate new threats that no one knew about before. It looks at more than one file. It looks at the whole design of how the network works. Using this makes your network safer. Your team has more time to respond. This tool can find issues that other tools might miss. It fits in the spaces left by other safety tools and works well with them. it is something you should look into if your business relies on computers and the Internet. It could be a good way to protect your network and info. It is easy, smart, and useful in the world we live in now. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
