By Atlas Watchline Staff · Corporate · September 3, 2026

Guardio said it raised $40 million and reached a $1.1 billion valuation as it passed one million paying customers and $150 million in annual recurring revenue.

Guardio said Sept. 3, 2026, that it reached a $1.1 billion valuation after completing a $40 million funding round.

The Tel Aviv, Israel-based consumer cybersecurity company said the money will be used to improve its consumer protection product suite. Guardio said the round included investment from Assaf Rappaport, co-founder and CEO of Wiz, along with existing investors ION Crossover Partners, Union Tech Ventures, Vintage Investment Partners, Cerca Partners and Emerge Ventures.

The company said the valuation comes as it reports more than one million paying customers and $150 million in annual recurring revenue. Guardio also said revenue has grown more than 100% year over year for four consecutive years. The company said total funding now stands at $167 million.

Guardio’s release also said broader cybercrime pressures remain high, citing claims that nearly three out of four U.S. adults experienced some kind of scam or attack last year, that the FBI logged 22,000 AI-related complaints, and that U.S. cybercrime losses hit a record $20.9 billion. Those figures were presented in the company’s announcement and were not independently verified in the source text.

Guardio CEO and co-founder Amos Peled said consumer security must be rebuilt around the person rather than the device. Gilad Shany, managing partner at ION Crossover Partners, said the company had four consecutive years of triple-digit growth and more than $150 million in ARR. Rappaport said he was backing the team as it works to make the world safer.

Guardio did not provide further details in the release about when the new capital will be deployed.
