AI-focused cybersecurity company Alice raises $140 million in new funding to expand its platform for testing, defending, and monitoring AI models. The company, previously known as ActiveFence, says the investment will support further development of its AI model security capabilities.

The outlets describe the announcement as part of Alice’s broader effort to strengthen “enterprise guardrails” and defenses against threats to AI systems. SecurityWeek reports that the funding follows a total of $280 million raised by the company across investors, while PYMNTS focuses on the intended use of the latest round to advance its AI-focused cybersecurity platform. Both sources frame the work around the idea that AI attacks can take many forms and that defenses must address threats observed and emerging in real-world deployments. No outlet disputes the funding amount or the company’s core product goal.

Overall, the coverage aligns on the key points: Alice is securing $140 million, it is developing protections for AI models, and it positions its technology as a way for enterprises to test and defend AI systems.
