Eyes on AI Infrastructure
Founder and CEO Gianni Cuozzo said the funding positions the company to move faster and think bigger.
“This allows us to accelerate even faster in 2026 and to support our M&A strategy as we scale into new markets,” Cuozzo said. “It will also enable us to introduce the next generation of runtime security technology.”
Exein said it also plans to deploy its tools to protect AI infrastructure and large language models, areas increasingly viewed as high-value targets for cyberattacks.
J.P. Morgan Sees Infrastructure Stakes
Max Hauer, head of innovation economy banking for Germany, Austria and Switzerland at J.P. Morgan, said the company’s mission aligns with rising global needs.
“Securing the world’s connected devices is becoming essential to the resilience of modern infrastructure,” Hauer said. “Exein is playing a pivotal role in this.”
Building on Earlier Momentum
The latest raise follows €70 million Exein secured in July through a Series C round led by British venture capital firm Balderton Capital. Series C financing typically signals a more mature startup preparing to scale rapidly.
With Exein SpA has raised €100 million, the company is betting that embedded security — invisible but ever-present — will become as fundamental to devices as the circuits they protect.
