Glow launches from stealth with $180M raised at $1.2B valuation

The debut targets a blind spot legacy endpoint tools share: they can't tell if an action came from an employee or an AI agent using that employee's credentials.

• Cybersecurity startup Glow exited stealth on July 22, 2026, disclosing $180 million in funding and a $1.2 billion valuation as it positions itself to rethink endpoint security for the AI era.
• Glow is building tools aimed at securing the 'AI-enabled endpoint,' the growing set of devices and apps where autonomous software now runs alongside human users.
• Glow's debut lands just two days after rival Neo emerged from stealth with $100 million from Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer to build a similar control layer for agentic software, underscoring how fast investors are moving into AI-agent security.
• Gartner projects that AI agents will be embedded in 40% of enterprise applications by the end of 2026, up from just 5% in 2025, a shift that's pushing security vendors to rebuild endpoint tools designed for human-driven, deterministic software.
• A $1.2 billion valuation for a company just leaving stealth shows investors betting heavily that AI agents will force a full rebuild of endpoint security rather than an incremental patch to existing EDR tools.
