Increased Investment Figures
The data highlights that a total of $2.95 billion was raised during the third quarter of 2025. This amount shows a significant leap from the $2.15 billion amassed through 73 funding rounds in the corresponding quarter of 2024.

A Thriving Landscape for Start-ups
Interestingly, early-stage funding investments in Seed and Series-A start-ups dominated the scenario, accounting for a remarkable 69% of all funding during Q3 2025. This trend suggests that the confidence in fledgling technology companies remains strong, as investors are eager to back innovative cybersecurity solutions.
Mark Sasson, the founder and managing partner at Pinpoint Search Group, asserted: "A significant upswing in capital raised and the number of deals being made indicates the continued strength investors see in the cybersecurity industry.

It's a clear indication that investors continue to see cybersecurity vendors as a solid long-term investment."
