This follows their $30 million seed round last year, bringing the total raised to $65M. The company will use the new funds to advance its AI capabilities
Sola Security, the Cybersecurity AI assistant, announced today it has raised a $35 million Series A round led by existing investor S32 and joined by M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund, and New Era Capital Partners. All existing investors, including venture capitalist Mike Moritz, S Capital, and Glilot Capital Partners joined the round as well. Sola Security brings the AI revolution to cybersecurity, redefining how security challenges are approached and solved, squeezing weeks and days of effort into minutes.
Founded in 2024 by cybersecurity veterans Guy Flechter (former CEO & Co-Founder of Cider Security, acquired by Palo Alto Networks) and Ron Peled (former Global CISO of LivePerson and strategic security consultant to startups), Sola was born from their frustration with the stagnation in Cybersecurity innovation. They set out to build a solution which would make cybersecurity faster and easier to tackle, without compromising the quality and safety these solutions provide. Reflecting Gartner’s expectation that AI assistants will evolve into context-aware copilots for security teams, Sola is advancing technology designed to reduce repetitive workload and enhance decision support, all backed by baked-in security logic and reasoning.
In the six months since emerging from stealth, Sola Security has garnered more than 2,000 users who created over 1,000 custom security apps with Sola’s generative AI, spanning from identity and access management to cloud security, posture and configuration management, compliance, and more.
“Cybersecurity is entering its AI moment, and we intend to lead it,” said Guy Flechter, CEO & Co-Founder of Sola Security. “We’re building the go-to platform for creating security solutions, with Sola AI turning ideas into instant, customizable defenses without the complexity, cost, or vendor locking that has held teams back for decades. Just as design, payments, and collaboration were reimagined by the likes of Canva, Stripe, and Figma, we’re redefining how cybersecurity challenges are solved. Our industry needs to move faster, and to do what needs to be done so solutions are simple, lightweight, and tailored to specific needs. We’re thrilled to be leading the charge.”
“Sola is redefining what’s possible in cybersecurity,” said Wesley Tillu, Partner at S32. “By combining deep industry experience with a bold vision for AI-driven innovation, the team is building a platform that will transform how security challenges are solved for years to come. We’re proud to lead this round and support Sola as they set a new course for the future of the industry.”
“Sola is transforming cybersecurity as we know it and ushering it into the age of AI,” said Todd Graham, Managing Partner at M12. “In just a year, the team has already shown the vision and execution to make that transformation real. Sola is exactly the kind of company we love working with: a founding team with an extraordinary vision, a product that proves itself quickly, and a team that sees opportunity in every challenge.”
“AI is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, and cybersecurity is no exception,” said Ziv Conen, Partner at New Era Capital Partners. “Sola is bringing that transformation to security teams, democratizing cybersecurity and empowering practitioners to seize the AI promise faster, and better than ever. What impressed us most is the combination of speed, discipline, and deep expertise the Sola team brings, which combined with their bold vision, sets them apart and positions them to define a new era in cybersecurity.”
