Israeli cybersecurity startup Glow has emerged from stealth with a $1.2 billion valuation, securing $180 million in funding to launch its AI-powered security platform.

The company, founded by veterans from Meta, Snowflake, and Claroty, aims to deploy autonomous agents that continuously map workplace devices, remove risky software, and enforce security policies without human intervention.

The capital injection cements Glow’s status as a unicorn less than 12 months after its inception, signaling strong investor appetite for AI-native security solutions.

The funding round reflects a broader shift in the cybersecurity market toward autonomous threat prevention, where AI agents proactively neutralize risks before they reach corporate networks.

Glow’s launch comes amid heightened scrutiny of endpoint security vulnerabilities, as organizations grapple with increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

The company’s approach contrasts with traditional security tools that rely on manual configuration and reactive measures, positioning it as a potential disruptor in the endpoint protection market.
