Pluto Security

About

Pluto Security provides a platform that monitors and controls how employees use AI tools, agents and connectors. Shahar Bahat is CEO and co-founder. The company said on 2026-10-13 that it was coming out of stealth with $42 million in funding. TechCrunch reports 40 employees in the United States and Israel.

TechCrunch and a Yahoo Finance article split that total into an $8.5 million seed round led by TLV Partners, with Armis' founders also investing, and a $34 million Series A led by Jump Capital, with Skinos, Ansa Capital and other angel investors. The company post states the $42 million total and does not name investors or split the rounds. SiliconANGLE describes the seed as about a fifth of the $42 million and the rest as a Series A, and calls the company Tel Aviv-based. The company post and TechCrunch do not name a headquarters city, so none is stored.

The issue and TechCrunch describe Skinos as Check Point co-founder Shlomo Kramer's venture firm. SiliconANGLE calls Skinos a fund affiliated with Point Software Technologies Ltd. co-founder Shlomo Kramer. This page uses the Check Point wording.

No page was created for Armis' founders or for other angel investors. Those phrases do not name a person or a firm. A U&I portfolio page says U&I invested alongside TLV Partners and MTF. The issue does not name U&I or MTF, so they are not listed.
