About Adaptive Security
Adaptive Security is an innovative cybersecurity startup dedicated to combating AI-driven cyber threats. In December 2025, we secured an impressive $81M in Series B funding, spearheaded by NVIDIA and Bain Capital Ventures, with notable contributions from Capital One Ventures, Citi Ventures, and continued backing from Andreessen Horowitz, the OpenAI Startup Fund, and Abstract Ventures. This funding round marks NVIDIA’s inaugural investment in AI cybersecurity.
Founded by seasoned entrepreneurs Brian Long and Andrew Jones, who have a proven track record of building and scaling industry-leading companies, Adaptive Security is poised for rapid growth. Brian and Andrew co-founded Attentive, achieving over $500M in annual revenue and a valuation exceeding $10B, as well as TapCommerce, which was acquired by Twitter. Their extensive experience in creating high-growth, product-focused businesses is pivotal as Adaptive Security establishes itself as the security cornerstone for the AI era.
With a client base that includes top-tier banks, technology firms, and healthcare institutions, Adaptive Security is at the forefront of safeguarding teams against emerging threats such as deepfakes, smishing, and AI-powered voice scams. As we witness accelerated enterprise adoption and face a market potential exceeding $200B, the journey has only just begun.
