Blackwall quadruples valuation to $2.2B as websites wrangle an increasingly crowded internet
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Estonia‑based Blackwall announced a $100 million Series C round that lifts its valuation to $2.2 billion, a four‑fold increase since its 2025 raise. The company supplies web‑traffic security tools that identify and block malicious bots, AI agents, and DDoS attacks, then bundles these capabilities for hosting, managed‑service and cloud providers to resell under their own brands. Blackwall’s platform offers threat intelligence, certificate management, traffic routing and AI‑driven fingerprinting to distinguish legitimate users from rogue software. Providers receive a free tier for traffic visibility and pay only for active protection, sharing revenue with Blackwall. The new capital will fund expansion across North America, Europe, APAC and the Middle East and accelerate development of additional security solutions for the hosting ecosystem.
💡 Why It Matters
- · By empowering hosting providers to control bot‑mitigation services themselves, Blackwall creates a new revenue stream that could reshape how the internet’s backbone defends against the surge of AI‑driven traffic.
