Cybersecurity capital rises to €854M on fewer deals
90 days to 2026-09-02
Cybersecurity funding rose from €351M across 29 deals to €854M across 15 deals over the 90 days to 2 September 2026, a 2.4x increase in euro value even as deal count fell by 14, pushing average deal size sharply higher despite fewer transactions. Within the broader sector comparison, Cybersecurity's recent total of €854M ranks it eighth among the twelve tracked sectors, trailing AI at €3.43B, Cloud at €3.42B, Fintech at €2.85B, Robotics at €2.78B, Software at €1.74B, Healthtech at €1.60B and Space at €1.16B, while ahead of Semiconductors, Energy, Cleantech and Transportation. In percentage terms, the sector's 2.4x rise stands out against a market where most sectors saw funding contract: AI fell from €4.59B to €3.43B and Software from €2.24B to €1.74B over the same comparison. Cybersecurity's deal count of 15 is also among the lowest of the twelve sectors, well below Software's 135 and AI's 64.
