Daylight Security raised an $80 million Series B led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, bringing its total funding to $120 million, CTech reports; the valuation was not disclosed but is estimated at about $400 million. Okta Ventures joined as a new investor, while Bain Capital, Craft Ventures, Vintage Partners and Maple Capital also participated.

The company combines AI agents with human security specialists to detect, investigate and respond to threats. Its Aura platform supports natural language incident queries, centralizes security data and covers risks including prompt injection attacks and Model Context Protocol integrations.

Daylight will use the funding to expand its sales, cybersecurity engineering and technology teams. It also plans further growth in the United States and entry into additional markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. The company said its revenue increased more than 40 times over the past year.
