Italian cybersecurity startup Exein just landed a $270M funding round, catapulting its valuation to $1.7B — all for building AI security at the physical device level.

Backed by oversubscribed investor interest and aligned with global regulations like the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act, Exein is scaling fast — growing 400% YoY — and eyeing U.S. and Asia-Pacific expansion, plus potential acquisitions, to fuel their mission to secure the future of physical AI.
