Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. Cybersecurity company Armadin raised a record $189.9 million, according to a Tuesday (March 10) press release.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s combined seed and Series A funding round is said to be the largest such financing round in cybersecurity history and will help Armadin in its goal of combating \u201chyperattacks,\u201d which are \u201csophisticated, multi-modal campaigns that move at machine-speed,\u201d the release said.
\nTo combat this, Armadin\u2019s platform offers specialized artificial intelligence agents that employ \u201ccustom models in an agentic attacker swarm,\u201d per the release. These agents continuously reason, plan and adapt like the fraudsters to give companies \u201cdecision-grade proof of what can actually be exploited.\u201d
\n\u201cThe AI shift is changing cybersecurity more rapidly than any transition in history,\u201d Armadin CEO Kevin Mandia said in the release. \u201cIn a world of machine-speed attacks, defense must become autonomous. You cannot have a human in the loop for every defense decision and expect to win. We are building the most formidable offense to give organizations the greatest defense. It\u2019s important to national security.\u201d
\nMandia is the former CEO of cybersecurity firm Mandiant, which was acquired by Google in 2022 for $5.4 billion. Armadin\u2019s founding team includes veterans of both companies.<\/p>\n

The new funding round came as \u201coffensive\u201d AI models are rewriting the way companies deploy their defensive counterparts, PYMNTS reported last month. According to the World Economic Forum, 87% of organizations said AI-related vulnerabilities are increasing risk across their environments.Advertisement: Scroll to Continue <\/p>\n

\u201cThe threat landscape has shifted from AI as a tool to AI as an operation embedded throughout the attack lifecycle,\u201d PYMNTS added.
\nMeanwhile, Gartner projected that by next year, 17% of cyberattacks will employ generative AI, a sign that AI-driven techniques are shifting from experimentation to mainstream threat capability.
\n\u201cThe result is compounding scale and variability,\u201d the report said. \u201cArtificial intelligence systems can generate unique attack instances while pursuing the same objective, weakening signature-based detection models that rely on pattern repetition. When each payload or prompt sequence is slightly different, static defenses struggle to keep pace.\u201d
\nThere is also a rise of attacks using fraudulent AI assistants designed to impersonate legitimate tools and collect sensitive user information, the report said.
