Israeli startups pulled in more than $800 million over the past week, led by mega-rounds in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, Israeli business outlet Calcalist reported on Thursday.

The financial news site said that the massive funding rounds signal renewed confidence in the local tech sector and marked “the strongest burst of private investment in the country’s tech sector this year.”

Main funding highlights include Armis, an Israeli-founded cybersecurity company, which raised $435 million at a valuation of $6.1 billion. Also, Wonderful, a Tel Aviv startup building AI agents for enterprises, secured $100 million in Series A funding just four months after a $34 million seed round. Cloud security firm Sweet Security raised $75 million in a Series B, bringing its total funding to $120 million in about two and a half years.

Additional large rounds came from Majestic Labs ($90 million Series A after a $10 million seed), developing high-performance AI infrastructure servers; new cyber startup Tenzai ($75 million seed); and Serial cyber entrepreneur Shai Morag launching a stealth startup (about $60 million over two rounds).
