Selected by over 150 CISOs, recipients representing the most innovative cybersecurity startups to be recognized on NYSE trading floor tonight
Pangea, a leading provider of AI security guardrails, today announced its inclusion in Rising in Cyber 2025, launched by Notable Capital to spotlight the 30 most promising cybersecurity startups shaping the future of security.
Unlike traditional rankings, Rising in Cyber 2025 honorees were selected through a multi-stage process grounded in real-world validation. Leading cybersecurity venture firms submitted nominations, and nearly 150 Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and senior security executives voted on the final list, highlighting the companies solving the most urgent challenges facing today’s security teams.
Pangea was selected for delivering the industry’s most comprehensive AI guardrails, enabling organizations to secure employee AI use and ship secure AI applications faster. The company’s AI Guardrail Platform delivers measurable value to security teams navigating today’s complex threat landscape.
The company joins a cohort that has collectively raised over $7.8 billion according to Pitchbook as of May 2025, and is defining the next era of cybersecurity across key areas like identity, application security, agentic AI, and security operations.
“The demand for cybersecurity innovation has never been greater. As the underlying technologies evolve and agentic AI reshapes everything from threat detection to team workflows, we’re witnessing a shift from reactive defense to proactive, intelligence-driven operations,” said Oren Yunger, Managing Partner at Notable Capital. “What makes this list special is that it reflects real-world validation—honorees were chosen by CISOs who face these challenges every day. Congratulations to this year’s Rising in Cyber companies for building the solutions that modern security leaders truly want and need.”
In celebration, honorees will be recognized today at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) alongside top security leaders and investors.
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition from Notable Capital and its esteemed community of security leaders,” said Oliver Friedrichs, Co-founder & CEO of Pangea. “This validates Pangea’s commitment to pioneering the AI security market through continuous innovation. As AI continues to create new attack vectors and vulnerabilities, we remain dedicated to staying at the forefront, safeguarding our clients’ digital assets while driving industry-wide transformation.”
Pangea’s recognition follows new AI security product launches earlier this year designed to help customers defend against threats like prompt injection and sensitive information disclosure to large language models. Pangea serves a wide range of customers, from Fortune 100 companies to AI-native technology startups.
