Bloom Security: $20M Seed for AI Endpoint Protection

Bloom Security has launched with $20 million in seed funding. The company is developing an endpoint security platform for AI agents, browser extensions, and locally deployed software in businesses. Glilot Capital Partners and Ten Eleven Ventures led the funding round. Okta Ventures, Runtime Ventures, and several cybersecurity founders also participated. Bloom's platform aims to protect the "AI-native endpoint." This is where employee devices run autonomous software and third-party extensions. Traditional security tools were built for malware, but modern endpoints face new risks. These include improperly configured AI agents and extensions with too many permissions. Bloom's technology provides visibility into all software on employee devices. It analyzes how these applications interact with sensitive data. The platform evaluates risk based on context, like a user's role and access privileges. This means the same tool can be acceptable on one device and high-risk on another. The platform also allows security teams to block risky software and enforce configurations without disrupting work. Bloom is already deployed at dozens of large enterprises in the United States and Europe. This helps organizations use targeted security controls based on specific risks. This is important because as AI tools become more common, businesses need new ways to keep their data safe.
