Sola Security, a fast-emerging innovator in cybersecurity, has successfully raised $35 million in an A Series funding round, bringing its total funding to $65 million. The round was led by S32, with participation from M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), New Era Capital Partners, and existing investors including Mike Moritz, S Capital, and Glilot Capital Partners.

This investment marks a major milestone for Sola, enabling the company to accelerate product innovation, expand globally, and further its mission of rethinking how security teams operate in an era where speed and adaptability are crucial.

The Vision Behind Sola Security

Founded in 2024 by Guy Flechter (co-founder & former CEO of Cider Security, acquired by Palo Alto Networks) and Ron Peled (former Global CISO of LivePerson), Sola Security was built on a simple but powerful premise: cybersecurity doesn’t need to be slow, complex, or reactive.

Instead, Sola is creating an AI-powered cybersecurity assistant designed to reduce heavy manual workloads and transform complex security tasks into simple, logic-driven workflows that can be deployed in minutes. The company’s platform empowers teams to:

Eliminate Bottlenecks – Streamline tasks that typically take weeks into minutes.

Go No-Code – Build context-aware defenses without coding, extra dashboards, or vendor lock-in.

Stay Adaptive – Customize workflows for identity and access management (IAM), cloud security, compliance, and configuration management.

By focusing on simplicity and adaptability, Sola is redefining how enterprises think about defense.

Proven Momentum in a Short Timeframe

Sola has made significant strides since emerging from stealth. Within just six months, the company has achieved measurable traction:

2,000+ users actively using its platform

1,000+ custom security applications created

Broad deployment across critical domains, including IAM, posture management, and compliance

These numbers highlight a clear appetite for more agile, AI-driven solutions that help teams move beyond reactive firefighting to proactive, scalable defense.

Why It Matters for Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity leaders today face mounting pressure. Rising threats, skills shortages, and complex tool stacks leave teams spread thin. The challenge is no longer just detection; it’s the heavy lifting of response and remediation.

Sola addresses this by replacing repetitive, manual processes with intelligent automation. Instead of drowning in alerts and dashboards, security professionals can design and deploy workflows tailored to their environment, turning slow, resource-draining work into actionable defenses.

This shift aligns with Gartner’s prediction that AI copilots will become essential for security operations, positioning Sola at the forefront of a market eager for innovation.

The Road Ahead

With $35 million in new funding, Sola is well-positioned to accelerate growth and further expand its AI-powered platform. Its founders, Guy Flechter and Ron Peled, bring the perfect balance of startup innovation and enterprise security expertise, ensuring Sola remains both disruptive and grounded in real-world CISO challenges.

As Flechter notes, “Cybersecurity is entering its AI moment, and we intend to lead it.” Just as Canva redefined design and Stripe transformed payments, Sola is poised to reshape cybersecurity, making it faster, smarter, and simpler for teams everywhere.

Execweb congratulates Sola Security on this milestone. The $35M Series A funding highlights not just investor confidence, but the growing importance of AI-powered cybersecurity assistants in helping enterprises build smarter defenses. For CISOs, partnerships with forward-looking vendors like Sola represent the next frontier of innovation in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
