Following 100%+ year-over-year revenue growth, with 100+ customers added quarterly, including multiple Fortune 50 companies, Silverfort announces Series D funding, led by Brighton Park Capital
TEL AVIV, Israel and BOSTON, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Silverfort, the leading identity protection company, today celebrates raising $116M in series D funding, bringing the total amount raised to $222M. Brighton Park Capital (BPC) led the round, with participation from existing investors including Acrew Capital, Greenfield Partners, Citi Ventures, General Motors Ventures, Maor Investments, Vintage Investment Partners and Singtel Innov8. Mike Gregoire, founding Partner at BPC and former CEO of CA Technologies and Taleo, will join Silverfort’s Board of Directors as the company scales and continues its journey to transform and lead the identity security market.

100%+ Year-Over-Year Growth, At ScaleThe investment follows another record year of more than 100% growth where Silverfort added tens of millions in new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), and hundreds of new enterprise customers, including the largest global financial services, manufacturing and retail companies. Ranked as the #1 Best Startup Company to Work For in Israel for the second consecutive year, Silverfort intends to grow its global team, already located across more than 15 countries, and will use the additional funds to expand its platform with new innovative product modules and accelerate its go-to-market strategy with an emphasis on channel partnerships.
Identity Is Every Attacker’s Weapon of Choice – And There’s a ReasonCompromised identities and credentials are the #1 tactic for cyber threat actors and ransomware campaigns to not only break into organizational networks, but to spread inside networks. A core reason identity is the most vulnerable element in the enterprise attack surface, is the market misperception that Identity and Access Management (IAM) providers—who are in charge of managing identities—are capable of securing identities. In reality, they are not in a position to secure identity effectively, due to two major limitations:
The migration to hybrid and multi-cloud environments resulted in fragmented, complex enterprise environments: 92% of companies are forced to use a combination of cloud-native and on-prem identity solutions, often from multiple vendors. Each of these solutions operates as a ‘silo’, with its own local security controls, without understanding the broader context of the user’s activity and without any consistent enforcement across the organization.  Many critical resources found at every company cannot be protected by IAM and identity security solutions. Resources such as command-line interfaces (used in most data breaches), legacy systems, service accounts (non-human identities), file shares and databases, IT/OT infrastructure, amongst others, are regularly used by attackers as the easiest way to access sensitive networks and avoid the existing security controls.Where No Identity Security Platform Has Gone BeforeSilverfort spent years purposely designing its platform to eliminate the silos and blind spots that identity security suffered from for many years, which no other solution has managed to address so far. The platform extends modern identity security measures to every enterprise resource, on-prem and in the cloud, including systems that no other solution can protect, in an effortless and instant manner. It enables Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), and real-time protection for privileged users and service accounts —an attacker’s prime target. By enabling these modern identity security controls holistically, even for previously unprotectable assets, customers are able to stop identity-based attacks everywhere (including by some of today’s most dangerous threat actors), and comply with regulations and cyber insurance requirements.
“Silverfort is one of the rare companies that has successfully envisioned how a large market will need to transform to solve a tough problem – in this case, identity security,” said Mike Gregoire. “The company has a track record of building innovative products at scale that exceed customer expectations, combined with excellent go-to-market execution. Silverfort’s deep market expertise and vision for the identity security market, as well as their ability to build a winning team and culture, are second to none. We’re thrilled to join Hed, Yaron, and the rest of the Silverfort team on the next phase of their journey to not only reshape the identity security market, but lead it.”
Enabling Modern Security on Top of Every AuthenticationWith its patented technology, Silverfort connects to the entirety of an organization’s identity infrastructure in a matter of hours, from cloud-native identity providers (which are only aware of what happens inside their specific silo) to legacy on-prem directories such as Active Directory (which are missing basic security capabilities). Silverfort’s unique platform architecture:
Serves as a centralized enforcement engine behind all identity infrastructure silos, and as a ‘second opinion’ behind-the-scenes to approve all access requests.Maps the company’s entire identity infrastructure, analyzes its security posture, inspects every access attempt across all environments in real-time, and most importantly – enforces active inline policies to verify the user’s identity or to prevent unauthorized access.Operates in a way that is completely invisible to the countless devices, servers and applications that it protects, eliminating the need to modify them, integrate with them, or install anything on them. Organizations can protect every type of system, saving enormous time and cost.”Identity has become the weakest link in enterprise security, and solving it requires a new approach – a unified, end-to-end layer of security that covers all the silos and blind spots of the identity infrastructure,” said Hed Kovetz, Silverfort’s Co-Founder and CEO. “We are very excited about our new partnership with BPC, which will allow us to accelerate our platform vision and strong business momentum. We look forward to reshaping the way identity security is done in every company, to effectively answer today’s and tomorrow’s cyber threats.”

VANCOUVER, BC, June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group – Several big winners have been made already in the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. However, there’s clearly none bigger than chipmaking giant NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), which just surpassed two of its big tech peers to become the most valued publicly-traded company on the planet. To put it into perspective, NVIDIA’s market cap is currently larger than each of Europe’s largest stock markets, while lucky investors who bet $1000 on NVIDIA stock just ten years ago would be sitting on an extra $297,600 today. Now as analysts are predicting that AI and cryptocurrency could inject $20 trillion into the global economy by 2030, the best minds in the tech sector are moving their pieces into place to secure their piece of the pie. Behind the scenes, tech stocks are optimizing the infrastructure, security, and usability of AI, including new developments from Avant Technologies Inc.

Avant plans to tackle the challenges of the digital age by buying up to 50 of these high-performance servers from Flow Wave. These servers, with their advanced cooling technology, boost performance and save energy. This deal shows Avant’s dedication to providing top-notch AI infrastructure and improving efficiency. More details about the transaction will be shared once a definitive agreement is finalized.
One of the most active tech giants in the AI space is International Business Machines Corporation (IBC) (NYSE: IBM), which recently released a new methodology through its IBM Research® wing called LAB (Large-Scale Alignment for ChatBots), through an open-source project called InstructLab with its subsidiary Red Hat®, which IBM acquired for $34 billion in 2019. The InstructLab project builds on the LAB technique for a community-driven approach to language model development through skills and knowledge training.
As well, IBM has teamed up with WPP and LinkedIn to launch a new business-to-business (B2B) solution powered by IBM’s AI and data platform watsonx, designed to reinvent how B2B markets identify and engage clients and prospects across the buying journey. WPP Open for B2B will help marketers solve complex B2B marketing challenges, accurately identify and engage buying groups, and improve clients’ return on investment.
“B2B marketers have been focused on creating truly personalized, relevant and consistent experiences for buying groups at scale for years,” said Jonathan Adashek, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications at IBM. “Our collaboration with WPP and LinkedIn provides real-time, actionable insights that are based on trusted data. We are excited to create and use these new, powerful and trusted AI solutions to deliver a force multiplier for B2B marketing.”
Cloud-based security solution provider Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET) recently announced the general availability of its AI Gateway platform, dubbed as a unified interface for managing and scaling the generative AI workloads of clients. Since its beta launch in September 2023, AI Gateway has handled over 500 million requests and is now ready for full client use.
The general availability release followed upon another Cloudflare announcement of a collaboration with Hugging Face, the leading open and collaborative platform for AI builders, for a one-click-simple global deployment for AI applications. With its Workers AI platform now generally available, Cloudflare became the first serverless inference partner integrated on the Hugging Face Hub for deploying models, enabling developers to quickly, easily, and affordably deploy AI globally, without managing infrastructure or paying for unused compute capacity.
“Workers AI is one of the most affordable and accessible solutions to run inference,” said Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder, Cloudflare. “With Hugging Face and Cloudflare both deeply aligned in our efforts to democratize AI in a simple, affordable way, we’re giving developers the freedom and agility to choose a model and scale their AI apps from zero to global in an instant.”
Reporting impressive generative AI revenues in its latest Q3 2024 fiscal results has caused shares of Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN) to jump this week, reporting more than $900 million in generative AI bookings in the latest quarter alone.
“Our actions to stay laser-focused on the needs of our clients are clear in our third quarter results,” said Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO of Accenture. “We… achieved two significant milestones this quarter — with $2 billion in Generative AI sales year-to-date and $500 million in revenue year-to-date — which demonstrate our early lead in this critical technology.”
Prior to the financial report, Accenture announced its intent to acquire Italian-based network services company, Fibermind, which specializes in fiber and mobile 5G networks deployment, as well as infrastructure engineering services. Together, Accenture and Fibermind will offer clients network engineering capabilities, deep industry knowledge, and technology assets powered by automation, robotics, data and AI.
Prior to its surge into the position as the world’s most valuable publicly-traded company, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) made a pair of announcements, further cementing its role in the AI revolution.
The first was the announcement of its NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud Sensor RTX, a set of microservices that enable physically accurate sensor simulation to accelerate the development of fully autonomous machines of every kind, allowing developers to test sensor perception and associated AI software at scale in physically accurate, realistic virtual environments prior to real-world deployment.
The second announcement was the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE, a portfolio of AI solutions and joint go-to-market integrations that enable enterprises to accelerate adoption of generative AI, co-developed with Hewlett Packard (HP).
“Generative AI and accelerated computing are fueling a fundamental transformation as every industry races to join the industrial revolution,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Never before have NVIDIA and HPE integrated our technologies so deeply – combining the entire NVIDIA AI computing stack along with HPE’s private cloud technology – to equip enterprise clients and AI professionals with the most advanced computing infrastructure and services to expand the frontier of AI.”
All NVIDIA AI Computing offerings by HPE will be available through a combined marketing strategy involving sales teams, channel partners, and training.

Tech Developers Pioneering AI Tools to Revolutionize Future Productivity and Logistics

Published

USA News Group CommentaryIssued on behalf of Scope AI Corp.
VANCOUVER, BC, June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group – How we embrace this surging adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the economy of the future remains up for debate. Already, we’re seeing the impact of AI adoption in the workplace, in culture, and in finance, but it won’t end there. According to Goldman Sachs, AI is showing “very positive” signs of eventually boosting GDP and productivity, while some experts are remarking that the generative AI tech wave is sweeping in much faster (maybe 10x) than early internet. Behind the scenes, tech developers are building AI-powered tools that could potentially revolutionize productivity and logistics in the future, with recent developments coming from Scope AI Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: META), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), and SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN, SOUNW).

As deep machine learning evolves rapidly, Scope AI Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) has rebranded and shifted its market focus to target sectors such as advertising, gaming, and neural networks with its advanced GEM (General Enterprise Machine Learning) technology.
Scope AI’s ongoing development of GEM aims to assist businesses in creating custom object detection and visual information systems, maximizing the potential of neural networks. The company’s strategic initiatives are set to potentially revolutionize advertising personalization, gaming enhancements, and various applications of neural networks.
Recently, Scope AI unveiled significant enhancements to GEM, designed to better serve advertising agencies and the gaming industry. These updates aim to optimize advertising content and improve gameplay experiences through advanced neural network functionalities. By the end of May, Scope AI had announced its collaboration with several leading ad agencies and ad networks, to gain insights into the primary challenges these organizations face in analyzing the efficacy of different ad creatives and page layouts, as well as the difficulties and costs associated with testing.
The timing of Scope AI’s assistance in advertising couldn’t be better, as global advertising executives are currently struggling with the injection of AI into their sphere. The worry is that if everyone is using AI for their images, nothing stands out. This is where Scope AI’s potential with GEM rises, in helping these ad execs to better discern their ad campaigns, and how to deliver them.
“Our approach is to start with the pain points of our potential users and build solutions based on those insights,” said James Young, CEO of Scope AI Corp. “We believe in understanding the real-world challenges faced by our partners, rather than falling into the common software trap of ‘build it and they will come.’ This collaboration ensures that GEM is not just another tool, but a solution that addresses the specific needs of the advertising community.”
GEM’s enhanced object visual recognition capabilities are intended to provide businesses with deeper insights and more precise solutions. Consequently, advertisers may potentially analyze consumer behavior more effectively and refine their campaigns, while game developers could create more engaging and immersive user experiences.
“We’re very pleased at how seamless we were able to streamline, enhance, and strengthen our platform with the latest performance and security upgrades made to our infrastructure,” said Sean Prescott, Founder and Non-Executive Chairman of Scope AI. “The next generation of our platform will set us apart in what kind of data and its sensitivity we can process and store. It’s a potential game-changer for the industry.”
Social media platform giant Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: META) recently announced an initiative to release new AI research models in order to accelerate innovation at scale. As per the initiative, Meta’s Fundamental AI Research team is publicly releasing several models to accelerate future research and allow others to innovate and apply AI at scale.
According to the accompanying Meta blog post, the company states, “We believe that access to state-of-the-art AI creates opportunities for everyone.”
Meanwhile, however, Meta has also been asked to delay training its AI on data from users in the European Union. After intervention by the Irish Data Protection Commission, Meta now must delay its plan to train its large language models on Facebook and Instagram content from EU users.
“We’re disappointed by the request from the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), our lead regulator, on behalf of the European DPAs, to delay training our large language models (LLMs) using public content shared by adults on Facebook and Instagram — particularly since we incorporated regulatory feedback and the European DPAs have been informed since March,”  wrote Stefano Fratta, Global Engagement Director for Privacy Policy for Meta in a blog post. “This is a step backwards for European innovation, competition in AI development and further delays bringing the benefits of AI to people in Europe.”
Meanwhile, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) seems undeterred in Europe, expanding its generative AI listing tools to sellers across the continent. As per the expansion, sellers in France, German, Italy, Spain, and the UK can now leverage the power of generative AI to greatly simplify the process of product listing creation as well as enriching existing product listings to better resonate with customers and help drive sales.
“These generative AI-powered tools simplify the listing creation process, allowing sellers to generate compelling product titles, descriptions, and other details by simply providing a few descriptive words or just uploading a product image,” said Amazon in the accompanying blog post. “We suggest product listings that are high-quality and designed to be engaging for customers in our store. This streamlines operations and allows sellers to focus on other aspects of their business.”
Amazon has long utilized AI to assist its selling partners by pioneering personalized product recommendations based on customer behavior, enabling sellers to highlight relevant products. Advanced machine learning models are used for demand forecasting and inventory management, helping sellers avoid stock shortages. AI-powered pricing tools provide dynamic pricing insights, while recent innovations include generating rich Premium A+ Content and augmented reality visualizations. In fulfillment centers worldwide, AI helps stock products locally to ensure faster deliveries and greater availability of everyday essentials. In Europe, AI reduced the average package travel distance by 25kms in 2023, enhancing delivery speed and sustainability.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) recently decided to delay the release of its Recall AI feature on PCs, based on security concerns. The Recall feature logs activities from web browsing to voice chats, creating a searchable history on the user’s computer. This allows users to easily find and recall actions from months ago.
Experts are already labeling Microsoft as a “frontrunner in the generative AI race”, with analysts expecting big things from the software giant, citing a “strong competitive cloude edge” coming, as they estimate Microsoft’s Copilot deployments could add around $25 billion to the company’s trajectory by fiscal year 2025.
Together with LinkedIn, Microsoft also released the 2024 Work Trend Index on the State of AI at Work, titled “AI at work is here. Now comes the hard part.”
“Generative AI tools have found widespread acceptance in the workplace, and we can see that most employees have placed their trust in AI to help with their daily workloads – without waiting to see if their organization will provide AI tools, services, or directions and guidelines for usage,” said Dhanawat Suthumpun, Managing Director of Microsoft Thailand. “It is critical that business leaders respond to this emerging trend in order to help both the organization and employees make the most beneficial impact from AI – from increased productivity and new capabilities to greater security from well-defined guidance around AI use.”
Global leader in voice artificial intelligence SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN, SOUNW) recently announced the acquisition of key assets from Allset, an online ordering platform that connects restaurants and local customers, to fast-track its vision of a voice commerce ecosystem. Allset is a food ordering platform designed for local pick-up, providing a seamless, cost-effective dining experience that allows both consumers and restaurants to bypass the high fees charged by delivery apps. SoundHound is already a market leader for restaurant voice AI solutions, working with over 10,000 restaurant locations.
“We are thrilled to join forces with SoundHound to combine our established partnerships and marketplace expertise with SoundHound’s class-leading voice AI solutions and capabilities,” said Stas Matviyenko, CEO and Co-Founder of Allset. “From the beginning, we realized that we share the same vision for the voice commerce ecosystem that elevates the consumer experience. This team-up will accelerate our progress toward the next exciting phase of AI-powered ordering convenience.”
