Vega Security Lands $120M to Advance AI-Driven Threat Detection

Artificial intelligence–focused security startup Vega Security Inc. has raised $120 million in fresh funding to speed up product development and grow its sales and marketing teams.

Founded in 2024, Vega offers a modern security analytics platform built specifically for AI-driven operations. Instead of moving all security data into one central system, Vega analyzes data where it already exists.

The company calls this approach a “Security Analytics Mesh.” It allows security teams to search for threats directly across cloud platforms, data lakes, SaaS applications and existing log systems without duplicating data.

The company’s platform places detection tools close to the data source. This helps teams run security checks across different systems without the cost and delay of transferring and reformatting large volumes of logs.

It works with both structured and unstructured data and connects easily with common enterprise systems and cloud communication environment.

AI plays a major role in the platform. It helps create detection rules, connect related alerts, assist investigations and reduce false alarms. The system also adds useful context to alerts and shows security teams where monitoring gaps may exist.

Vega is now expanding into response capabilities. This will allow analysts to detect, investigate and act on threats within the same system, without switching tools.

The company says it has already secured multimillion-dollar contracts with global banks, healthcare organizations and Fortune 200 companies. The funding round was led by Accel, with participation from Cyberstarts, Redpoint Ventures and Charles River Ventures.
