  "summary": "Cybersecurity firm Horizon3 has raised $250 million in its latest funding round, more than tripling its valuation to over $2 billion in just a year. The investment round, led by NightDragon and NEA, brings the company's valuation to new heights amid growing demand for cybersecurity tools as hackers increasingly leverage AI technology to exploit software vulnerabilities and launch more sophisticated attacks. The funds will be used to expand sales, marketing, and channel operations, enter new markets in Singapore, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and accelerate product development, with a focus on building a continuous learning loop between AI systems that simulate attacks and AI tools that defend against them.",
