Beelzebub Raises €3 Million for Cybersecurity Platform

Beelzebub has raised €3 million in seed funding led exclusively by United Ventures. The company said the funding will support research team expansion, new commercial offices in Rome and San Francisco by the end of the year, and client acquisition across Europe, with a focus on organisations regulated under NIS2.

The Milan company develops a cybersecurity platform based on an assumed breach model. Its system plants LLM powered traps across infrastructure such as servers, databases, APIs, and cloud systems. When an attacker touches a trap, the platform detects and blocks the attack, isolates affected machines, and starts response actions.

Beelzebub offers the platform as SaaS or for use on premise, including LLM inference on hardware supplied by the company. Its components include Arcangelo for attack simulation, Beelzebub Managed for defensive traps, and Caronte, an AI analyst that analyzes malware and produces incident reports.

The seed round brings Beelzebub’s total funding to €3.3 million, following an earlier €300,000 round from strategic investors and advisors. The company also stated that its platform identified and documented TeamPCP, a threat actor previously linked to a breach at GitHub.
