Pluto Security Raises $42M Amid Growing Enterprise AI Security Concerns
As companies rapidly adopt AI tools across departments like finance, marketing, and legal, new security risks are emerging. Pluto Security, a startup addressing these concerns, has raised $42 million in funding to develop solutions that monitor how employees use AI within enterprise environments. The company claims it can detect risky behaviors such as unsecured apps created by non-developers, with 60% of its identified threats coming from tools developed outside traditional IT channels. Pluto’s technology provides visibility and control over agent behavior in real time—shifting the focus from user activity to AI tool usage. The startup has already secured more than $2 million in annual recurring revenue within months of launching sales, with clients including Oscar Health and Workato. Its funding includes an $8.5 million seed round led by TLV Partners and a Series A of $34 million led by Jump Capital. The company’s approach is part of a broader trend as investors pour money into AI security startups to address the growing complexity in securing enterprise systems against both internal misuse and external threats.
