Exein Raises $270 Mn at $1.7B Valuation to Scale Physical AI Cybersecurity

Exein develops AI-powered cybersecurity technology designed to protect connected devices. Its technology is already used across more than 2 billion connected devices.

The company serves several industries, including industrial automation, automotive, energy, healthcare, semiconductors, aerospace and robotics. Its technology helps protect the software and systems that power connected physical devices.

"AI is moving out of the cloud and into the physical world, and this is the transition Exein was built for. We've developed deep expertise in how machines operate, invested heavily in the technology needed to protect them and built a global footprint that gives us an understanding of machines at a scale few others can match. Frontier models are pushing the patch window to zero. Attacks now happen at machine speed, so defense has to as well. Physical AI is the natural next step for Exein: we're building machine-time security for machine-time attacks." said, Gianni Cuozzo, Founder & CEO at Exein

"As AI moves into robots, vehicles, and critical infrastructure, securing the physical world will become one of the defining cybersecurity challenges of the next decade. Exein's deep expertise in embedded systems and unique machine data give it a powerful advantage as it scales globally, and that advantage traces back to the team. Gianni and his team have incredible technical and commercial depth, they put customer trust above all else, and they have always chosen the harder, long-term-oriented path. We're honoured to help them build a global leader in Physical AI security." said, Clarey Zhu, Partner at Headline.
