LayerX Security - Series A
$11M Raised
Imagine being in the middle of Times Square, thousands of people moving a million different ways, and you're the only one who knows there’s a silent, invisible heist happening in real time, right at eye level. Welcome to the world LayerX Security is securing. And today, they’re doing it bigger, louder, and smarter.
Founded in 2022 by Or Eshed and David Vaisbrud, two operators who saw the browser not as a tool, but as the new frontline of enterprise warfare, LayerX was built for a problem most enterprises didn’t even know was about to swallow them whole. SaaS first, hybrid, and GenAI driven companies woke up and realized the old firewalls and proxies were about as useful as putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. Eshed, fresh off a legendary Chrome hijacking takedown, and Vaisbrud, architect of defense systems during military service, didn’t wait for the market to catch up, they built the next defense layer before the first shots fired.
Fast forward: LayerX secured another $11M in a Series A extension led by Jump Capital, with Glilot Capital Partners and Dell Technologies Capital doubling down. Total funding? $45M, all fueling their assault outdated enterprise browser "security." Spoiler: they can't. Not without LayerX.
While competitors try replacing your browser, LayerX moves smarter, dropping a lightweight extension into Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox like a ghost crew sliding through alleys. No disruption. Full visibility. Real-time threat detection. AI powered insider threa tprevention. GenAI data leakage locked down. Shadow SaaS exposed and neutralized. If the browser is the last mile of security, LayerX turned it into Fort Knox without making users feel imprisoned.
Growth? Tripling ARR and customer count in a year. Headcount jumping 30 to 75. Hundreds of thousands of protected browsers globally. Adoption from Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 players who don’t have time for second-best. Compliance? GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, all checked. Partnerships? Tight alliances with browser giants that move the needle.
This isn’t another funding round. It’s a signal that the secure enterprise browser category has a kingmaker, and LayerX isn’t interested in sharing the crown. They’re playing at a different tempo, integrating into over 50 platforms, building identity-aware access controls, and scaling real-world defenses faster than most security teams can even draft policies.
LayerX isn't asking enterprises to bet on a maybe. They’re offering a now. With $45M fueling expansion, they’re not securing the last mile, they’re defining it.
Congrats to Or Eshed and David for once again being ten moves ahead. Props to Jump Capital, Glilot+, and Dell Technologies Capital for backing the real disruptors, not the pretenders. Watch this space, the future of browser security just got its best weapon yet.
