  "account": "Pluto Security has emerged from stealth with $42 million in funding aimed at assisting security teams in managing AI integration within enterprise operations. The company, which generates multi-million-dollar annual recurring revenue, secures over 1 million endpoints globally and serves more than 40 enterprise customers, including prominent organizations like Oscar Health and Fortune 500 firms. As AI tools become more accessible to non-software development roles, Pluto's platform provides contextual visibility and controls to differentiate legitimate work from potentially risky activity. CEO Shahar Bahat explained that security traditionally focused on preventing issues, but this model is inadequate in the fast-paced AI landscape. Pluto's solution combines endpoint visibility, contextual analysis, and real-time enforcement to block malicious activities while enabling safe work. The company's Plutonium hub offers a free AI risk database, powered by proprietary RisksDB, which security professionals use to assess components like AI skills and extensions. This approach has attracted thousands of security practitioners and contributed to Pluto's rapid growth, with the company now employing over 50 staff across the U.S. and Israel. The latest funding round, led by Jump Capital, brings the company's total funding to $42 million, with the capital earmarked for product development, research, and U.S. expansion. Pluto's founders bring extensive cybersecurity backgrounds from Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Bridgecrew, and Israel's Unit 8200.",
