Moroccan cybersecurity startup Nucleon Security has successfully closed a €3 million funding round to accelerate its international expansion. The round was led by NewFund Capital and saw participation from prominent investors including CDG Invest through its 212Founders program, LoftyInc Capital, Orange Ventures, and Axian Group. The new capital will be used to industrialize the company’s agentic AI technology and drive its commercial growth across Europe and Africa.
Fueling International Expansion
The fresh injection of funds will enable Nucleon Security to scale its operations and enhance its product offerings. The primary goals are to fully integrate its agentic AI technology across all solutions, accelerate commercial development in key European and African markets, and continue strategic research and development. With over a hundred clients already spread across three continents, the company is poised to address the growing global cybersecurity challenge, which is projected to cost the global economy $10.5 trillion by 2025 amidst a severe talent shortage.
“Our ambition is to make cybersecurity proactive and accessible to all, enabling companies to gain visibility, efficiency, and resilience through a holistic platform combining Zero Trust and agentic AI,” said Anas Chanaa, co-founder and CEO of Nucleon Security. “We welcome this funding round, which will also allow us to support a broader range of organizations of all sizes.”
A New Approach To Proactive Defense
Nucleon Security offers a novel approach to cybersecurity built on a Zero Trust platform and powered by agentic AI. This model goes beyond traditional AI, which typically only analyzes data and sends alerts. Nucleon’s agentic AI functions as an autonomous agent capable of analyzing, deciding, acting, and learning continuously, serving as a co-pilot for security teams throughout the entire defense cycle of prevention, detection, response, and remediation. The platform’s solutions include Zero Trust Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), 24/7 sovereign Managed Detection and Response (MDR), advanced malware analysis with Malprob AI, and ScorX for prioritizing critical threat alerts.
The Investor Perspective
The commitment from a diverse group of regional and international investors underscores the confidence in Nucleon Security’s innovative technology and strategic vision. “We are proud to support Nucleon Security, whose expertise in next-generation cybersecurity addresses a critical challenge for businesses,” commented Salim Hassad, Partner at Newfund. “This investment reflects our confidence in their team and international ambition.”
