-Arctic Wolf has unveiled its enhanced MSP Partner Program and the launch of Aurora Endpoint Security for MSPs.
Arctic Wolf has also added new enhancements to its Aurora Platform, giving customers an enhanced ability to interact with their SOC data and operations, greater visibility into their existing tech stack, and deeper customisation across their security workflows. “These updates come as security teams increasingly face the cost and complexity of managing a SIEM, which often create more problems than they solve,” said the vendor.
-Maze, a new platform that uses AI agents to investigate and resolve cloud security vulnerabilities, has announced a $25m Series A funding round led by Theory Ventures, with participation from existing investors Cherry Ventures and Tapestry VC.
Coming less than a year after the company’s founding, and nine months after a $6m seed round led by Cherry Ventures, this brings total funding to $31m. Maze now plans to continue growing its team and expand into new use cases for its AI-native security platform.
Harry Wetherald, Maze CEO and co-founder, said: “Security teams are already struggling today, and as attackers get their hands on AI, things are only going to get more difficult. While AI gives us the ability to build better security tools, it is also enabling bad actors to deliver complex attacks at scale. Our goal is to give security teams the tools they need to fight back.”

Key features promised include:
Faster AI performance: The solution boosts GPU efficiency by 20%, which means “less waiting and more doing”
Smarter routing for AI models: “Think of it like a traffic controller that sends simple queries to smaller, cheaper models and saves the heavy-duty tasks for the big ones”
Better security: New features help secure large language model deployments and make scaling AI safer and easier
