Wallarm, a cybersecurity company specialising in API and AI security, has raised $55m in a Series C funding round to support the expansion of its new offering, Security Edge.
The funding round will support the company’s mission to make advanced API protection more accessible. Wallarm has not disclosed individual investors involved in the Series C raise.
Wallarm offers a comprehensive platform designed to safeguard APIs from evolving cyber threats. Its latest innovation, Security Edge, brings edge-based API protection to a wider range of teams and environments, offering enhanced visibility, performance, and reliability. The company’s solutions are particularly relevant as APIs become increasingly essential to digital infrastructure across industries.
The newly raised capital will be used to accelerate the rollout of Security Edge. This next-generation solution introduces key capabilities such as real-time traffic visibility, multi-cloud high availability, mutual TLS encryption, and free-tier access for smaller teams. Wallarm aims to address long-standing challenges in API protection, including architectural complexity and implementation difficulties.
Security Edge is designed for fast deployment, enabling organisations to secure APIs in minutes while reducing latency and cost. Its telemetry portal offers real-time insight into API traffic and performance, helping teams identify threats and demonstrate security return on investment (ROI). The platform also ensures availability even during cloud provider outages, and its mTLS support strengthens trust and compliance by securing communication channels end-to-end.
Wallarm has also made Security Edge available within its free API Security Tier, allowing up to 500,000 API requests per month to be protected at no cost. This move makes enterprise-grade protection accessible to startups, development teams, and small businesses, without sacrificing performance or increasing overhead.
Wallarm CEO Ivan Novikov said, “Security Edge is all about delivering protection where it matters most, at the API edge, without compromise. API protection today is broken—not because the tools aren’t powerful, but because they’re painful to implement. Security Edge fixes that. It gives companies effective API security that works with their architecture, not against it.”
