Spanish cybersecurity startup 8Layers has announced the successful closure of an extended pre-seed funding round, securing $2.9 million. This investment comes only two months after the company launched its digital identity protection platform.

The funding round reportedly saw participation from several investors, indicating a strong level of confidence in 8Layers' technology and market strategy. The capital injection is expected to fuel the company's growth and further development of its identity security solutions.
