TNB Tech Minute: Noma Security Raises $100 Million to Keep AI Agents in Check - Tech News Briefing
Full Transcript This transcript was prepared by a transcription service. This version may not be in its final form and may be updated. Ariana Aspuru: Here's your afternoon TNB Tech Minute for Friday, August 1st. I'm Ariana Aspuru for The Wall Street Journal. Noma Security, a New York based startup that polices artificial intelligence agents, says it has raised $100 million in investment capital. Even though it's a relatively new technology, a number of businesses are already using AI agents in areas ranging from product development to marketing, sales, customer service, cybersecurity, and other tasks. The company says it has dozens of customers across financial services, life sciences, retail, and other industries. Plus, in an earnings call this week, Apple said it would substantially increase capital expenditures in the year ahead. A Quilter Cheviot analyst says that Apple is starting to spend on AI, but it's way behind its tech competitors. So far, Apple has invested 10 billion on AI compared with $130 billion, $120 billion, and $85 billion at Microsoft, Amazon, and Google respectively. The analyst also says this increase in spending would be a positive sign that Apple is preparing to be more aggressive about its future capabilities. Finally, Palantir was awarded a $10 billion ten-year contract that should be an additional tailwind for the software company, according to analysts at Wedbush. This comes as the federal government accelerates its artificial intelligence initiative. Analysts say the deal establishes a framework for the Army's future software and data needs by pooling together dozens of contracts into a single agreement with volume-based discounts. And that's a wrap on your TNB Tech Minutes. For a deeper dive into what's happening in tech, check out our Tech News Briefing podcast on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Israeli cyber startup Noma Security raises $100 million in private funding round
By Steven Scheer TEL AVIV (Reuters) -Israeli cybersecurity startup Noma Security, whose platform secures enterprise data and AI models against AI agents, said on Thursday it raised $100 million in a private funding round, bringing total funds raised to date to $132 million. Israel's cyber security sector has been active of late and many startups have raised significant sums in funding rounds and in mergers and acquisitions. A surge in cyberattacks, including data breaches and ransomware, has driven demand for more comprehensive defences and fueled interest in cyber firms. On Wednesday, Palo Alto Networks said it would buy Israeli peer CyberArk Software for $25 billion. It follows Alphabet's $32 billion acquisition of Israeli startup Wiz in March. Noma Security's Series B round was led by U.S.-based venture capital firm Evolution Equity Partners, with continued participation from Ballistic Ventures and Israeli firm Glilot Capital. The latest funds, it said, will be used to further expand its operations across North America and Europe, Middle East and Africa and to more rapidly grow its product, research and development teams in Tel Aviv. Noma Security, which was founded in 2023, came into prominence last November after raising $32 million. The company said it helps organisations "identify millions of AI and AI agent risks while simultaneously prioritising and mitigating novel threats at scale." AI agents are AI systems that act autonomously on behalf of users or organisations.
