Investors fund the new trust and security stack

A surge of capital is flowing into companies that secure the digital economy’s most sensitive layers: cybersecurity, compliance, fraud prevention and data protection. UpGuard, ThreatAware, Gambit Security and IDfy collectively raise well over $200M to strengthen cyber risk posture, AI-driven security, data protection and identity-based fraud defenses, while Bluprynt and t54 Labs secure oversubscribed seed rounds to build compliance and trust layers for onchain finance and AI agents. Backing from major financial and crypto players like Coinbase, Robinhood, Ripple and Franklin Templeton highlights how verifiable security and compliance are becoming core infrastructure, not optional add-ons.
