Mirror Security raises $2.5 Mn from Sure Valley Ventures and Atlantic Bridge

Security company Mirror Security has raised $2.5 million in a pre-seed round from Sure Valley Ventures (SVV) and Atlantic Bridge.

The company said the funds will be used to expand its engineering and AI security teams across Ireland, the US and India, accelerate product development in encrypted inferencing and secure fine-tuning, and support its immediate push into the US enterprise market.

Founded in 2024 by Pankaj Thapa and Aditya Narayana K, Mirror Security is a cybersecurity firm focused on GenAI-native security and encrypted data protection. It is a research-driven spin-out from University College Dublin with operations in Ireland, the US and India.

Mirror Security’s integrated “Security of AI” platform offers a comprehensive protection suite that includes AgentIQ, which provides full-spectrum agentic security; DiscoveR, an automated red-teaming tool for continuous AI system testing; and VectaX, its Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) engine.

The company aims to solve a key barrier in enterprise AI adoption, ensuring dependable data confidentiality during model training and inference. Through its FHE-powered VectaX, AI systems can process sensitive data without exposing it at any stage.

Mirror Security has also signed a strategic agreement with Inception AI, a G42 company, under which its full AI security suite will be deployed across Inception’s enterprise and government ecosystem. Additional partnerships include Intel, MongoDB, Qdrant, SiSys AI and Accops.
