The funding report was published on Oct. 6, 2026, under the headline “Exclusive: Hadrian raises $40m as AI cyberattacks accelerate.” Hadrian is a Netherlands-based cybersecurity company, and the $40 million is described as fresh funding.

In a separate article published the same day, Sifted examined whether it is illegal to train frontier AI in the UK. The report’s headline asks: “Is it illegal to train frontier AI in the UK?”

Sifted reported that the UK government has spent much of the past few years trying to convince the world’s biggest AI companies to build in Britain. It has promised new data centres, billions of pounds in investment and a regulatory environment that can help the technology flourish, according to the publication.

The two Sifted reports appeared on the same date. One covers a Dutch cybersecurity startup raising $40 million as AI cyberattacks accelerate. The other raises a legal question about training frontier AI in the UK, where the government has been attempting to attract major AI companies.

Editor's Summary Dutch cybersecurity startup Hadrian has raised $40 million in fresh funding amid investor expectations of accelerating AI-powered cyberattacks. Separately, Sifted reported on whether training frontier AI in the UK is illegal, against the backdrop of the UK government’s efforts to attract AI investment. The reports highlight how AI is drawing attention in both cybersecurity funding and regulatory scrutiny.
