How much did Aim Security raise?
Aim announced an $18 million Series A on June 17, 2024, led by Canaan Partners, with YL Ventures also participating, according to SecurityWeek. That brought Aim’s total disclosed funding to $28 million. The company had previously emerged from stealth on January 31, 2024, with a $10 million seed round involving YL Ventures and other investors.
What did Aim Security’s platform do?
Aim focused on helping organizations govern and secure generative AI use across different parts of the business: public SaaS applications, enterprise chat tools, private AI applications, AI agents, and internal development. Its approach was to apply security controls and organizational policies across that range rather than address only one chatbot or application.
Threats and controls
The company described risks that included sensitive-data exposure, vulnerabilities in the AI supply chain, harmful or manipulated outputs, jailbreaks, and prompt injection. Its stated goal was to help organizations enforce guardrails suited to their regulatory obligations and internal requirements.

Cato Networks announced it had acquired Aim Security on September 3, 2025. Cato said Aim’s technology would extend its SASE Cloud Platform to support secure adoption of AI agents and public and private AI applications. Cato described the deal as adding advanced AI-security capabilities to its platform; its statement is available in Cato Networks’ acquisition announcement.
The acquisition changes the context for Aim’s 2024 funding: Aim is no longer an independent company following Cato’s announcement. The announcement describes plans for integration, but does not establish the availability, packaging, or continuity of Aim’s former products as standalone offerings.
