News for today:
- Series C $150 million for Sublime Security. Sublime Security announced a Series C funding round of $150 million, from new and existing investors. Intent is to accelerate its agentic AI capabilities for email security. Unlike legacy vendors who offer a rigid, one-size-fits-all solution, Sublime provides a novel approach to email security: a team of specialized AI agents that protect, triage, and adapt defenses in real-time. This new approach frees security teams to focus on their organization’s unique needs, dramatically reducing the resources traditionally required to secure their email environment. Sublime’s first two AI agents are for autonomous investigations and triage and autonomous threat detection. Sublime Security

- AI interface for backup and cyber resilience from Commvault. Commvault added a conversational interface for its cyber resilience and data protection solutions, enabling users to interact via simple natural language to ask questions and authorize actions. Every conversational interaction with Commvault Cloud takes place through Commvault’s policy-based MCP server, which governs authentication, access, and encryption. In addition, Commvault does not use or train external AI models with customer data or inputs. Customer data remains protected under Commvault’s privacy and security policies, and external GenAI platforms operate under their own customer-managed controls. These built-in safeguards help maintain traceability, auditability, and compliance with enterprise-grade data protection standards – so simplicity never comes at the cost of security. General availability is slated for spring 2026. Commvault
