Exein Raises $270M, Valued at $1.7B

Italian cybersecurity startup Exein has raised $270 million at a $1.7 billion valuation, more than doubling its December 2025 valuation of $700 million. The Rome-based company secures robots, vehicles, and IoT devices with embedded security software now running on over 2 billion devices. Exein reports a fivefold increase in detected attacks year-over-year, now tracking 5,000 new attacks weekly. The funding will support U.S. expansion, European and American acquisitions, and development of a proprietary AI security foundation model expected in early 2027. Headline Management led the round, joined by Goldman Sachs, the European Investment Bank, and others.
