Foley Represents Samsung Ventures as Investor in $58M Funding Round for WitnessAI

Foley & Lardner LLP represented Samsung Ventures as an investor in the $58 million funding round for WitnessAI, the AI security platform trusted by leading enterprises. The round was led by Sound Ventures and included additional investors Fin Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, and Forgepoint Capital Partners.

WitnessAI is the unified AI security and governance platform enterprises trust to govern and protect all AI activity. They provide complete, network-level visibility into every interaction including employees and autonomous agents, even in native apps where legacy tools are blind. Unlike security that relies on outdated keywords, their platform understands intent, enabling intelligent policies that stop novel threats like prompt injection while empowering productivity.

The funding will be used to accelerate WitnessAI’s global go-to-market and product expansion. The company also unveiled expanded agentic AI governance capabilities that bring observability to global enterprises developing and deploying AI agents.

The Foley team was led by partner Louis Lehot and included partner Brian Wheeler and associate Wesley Choi.
