$1.3 billion for a platform that sees threats before an attack
Dream Security, a company developing AI to protect governments and critical infrastructure, has raised $45 million. The company's valuation is now $1.3 billion. This is not just money, but a signal: states no longer want to respond to cyber attacks, they want to prevent them. And Dream Security offers a tool that, according to them, sees threats before they appear.
The platform is already being used in pilot modes by several government customers, although they are not publicly reported.
How the Cyber Language Model works — the brain of the system
The main difference between Dream Security and other solutions is its core: an AI model called the Cyber Language Model. Conventional cybersecurity systems learn from past attacks — they catch viruses, block IP addresses, and analyze behavior. This model goes further: She thinks both as an attacker and as a defender.
It doesn't just look for known patterns, but models how a hacker would act in a particular system. Where are the weak points? What are the workarounds? What vulnerabilities have not been discovered yet? It's like a chess player who calculates not just one move, but the whole game ahead.
Not just protection, but prediction
Dream Security does not wait for the alarm to go off. It identifies "blind spots" in defense, predicts where a hostile state may strike, and blocks off attack routes before they are used.
The system analyzes huge amounts of data, from internal traffic to open sources, including the dark web. And it does it in real time. If a hint of a new hacking technique appears somewhere on the network, the platform already knows how to respond to it.
Who is it for and why are states willing to pay
This level of protection is not needed by private companies. It is a tool for the Ministries of defense, cybersecurity centers, energy and transportation systems. The goal is to prevent an attack on the power grid, airport, or water management system from reaching execution.
$45 million is not just an investment, but a bet that the future of defense lies in AI, which not only blocks, but anticipates. And Dream Security is now one of the leaders in this race.
