Tel Aviv-based Bloom Security has emerged from stealth with $20 million in seed funding to build endpoint security tools for monitoring AI agents and browser extensions.

Glilot Capital Partners and Ten Eleven Ventures led the funding round for the startup, which addresses growing security concerns around AI deployments at the endpoint level.

The tools aim to provide visibility and control over autonomous AI systems operating on user devices and networks. The startup's emergence reflects increased investor interest in AI security infrastructure. As organizations deploy more AI agents and third-party extensions, endpoint monitoring has become a critical gap in enterprise security stacks. The funding positions Bloom Security to expand its team and accelerate product development as demand for AI-specific security solutions grows. The company joins a wave of startups targeting the intersection of AI safety and traditional cybersecurity practices.
