<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic $43M Investment in Cyber Defense</h2>
Adaptive Security was founded after its creators recognized the growing threat of AI-enabled cyber attacks. The startup is creating a new AI-native defense platform that will enable enterprises to proactively detect, protect against, and respond to advanced threats, such as deep fake social engineering.
The program uses AI to scan and flag fraudulent-looking messages by assigning them risk levels and alerting company security teams. Adaptive Security also preemptively tests employees with simulated phishing attacks via AI-generated emails, text messages, and voice calls, offering personalized training if they fall for the simulated phishing attempts.
Brian Long, co-founder and CEO of Adaptive Security, emphasized the company&#8217;s mission on the startup&#8217;s official site: &#8220;Adaptive's mission is to protect people from AI-powered cyber attacks. Over the next decade, we will work tirelessly to stay one step ahead of attackers with enhanced features, new products, and scale to every business globally.&#8221;
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
This investment is all the more notable as it involves OpenAI, a pioneer in AI research and deployment. This collaboration shows a broader recognition in the industry when it comes to the importance of strong cybersecurity measures, especially since the pace of development around AI increased. Adaptive Security&#8217;s platform is designed to stay one step ahead of malicious actors who use AI increasingly to carry out sophisticated cyber attacks.
Adaptive Security was publicly launched in January and has since signed over 100 customers, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/03/openai-just-made-its-first-cybersecurity-investment/">TechCrunch</a> wrote. According to Inc., some of the early adopters include Podium, First State Bank, the Dallas Mavericks, and BMC.
Word of how well this pilot project went spread, and that was a big factor in attracting OpenAI&#8217;s attention and subsequent investment. The fresh capital will be used to expand the engineering team, whose goal is to enhance the platform to better defend against new AI-powered cyber attacks.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What the Investment Means for Adaptive Security's Future</h2>
Cybersecurity is undergoing a paradigm shift with cybercriminals using generative AI to enhance the scale and sophistication of their attacks. Such advanced threats are often beyond traditional security solutions.
Adaptive Security&#8217;s ingenious approach addresses this gap by identifying and handling threats and by strengthening the human element within organizations through specific training and simulations.
Having Andreessen Horowitz on board also proves the startup can set a new bar in the cybersecurity sector. Adaptive Security&#8217;s mission aligns with the venture capital firm's commitment to paving the way for impactful technology portfolio startups. Together, these two forces can drive the development and deployment of the solutions that will protect businesses from the next generation of cyber threats. ​

The companies plan to expand to Australia and Western Europe next, starting with France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Affirm looks forward to engaging with its local constituents, including shoppers, merchants, capital partners, and regulators. Affirm Holdings stock plunged 42% year-to-date.
In March, Affirm Holdings expanded its&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44586154/stride-bank-partners-with-affirm-to-issue-affirm-card-enhancing-flexible-payment-options-for-consumers" rel="noreferrer noopener">multi-year deal </a>with&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co&#8217;s&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) JP Morgan Payments unit, further integrating Affirm&#8217;s pay-over-time solutions&nbsp;into the bank&#8217;s Commerce Platform.

Goldman Sachs&nbsp;analyst Will Nance estimated that Walmart&#8217;s contribution to Affirm&#8217;s calendar 2024 GMV is roughly ~$2.2 billion (7% of the total). However, Affirm subsequently disclosed that Walmart comprised 5% of GMV (versus the analyst&#8217;s ~5-10% estimate) and 2% of operating income (versus the analyst&#8217;s 10-19% impact estimate).

Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>) CEO Tobi Lutke has introduced a new policy requiring employees to demonstrate that their tasks cannot be accomplished using AI before requesting additional staff.
What Happened: In a memo shared with staff and posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, Lutke outlined a shift in Shopify's approach to hiring and resource allocation.
The memo emphasized that employees should consider AI as a tool for productivity before asking for more human resources.
"What would this area look like if autonomous AI agents were already part of the team?" Lutke asked in the memo. "This question can lead to really fun discussions and projects."

He further stressed that using AI has been a "multiplier" for productivity, helping employees achieve results that were once considered impossible or too daunting to attempt.
Lutke highlighted that AI usage would now be incorporated into performance reviews, signaling the company&#8217;s push to embed artificial intelligence into daily tasks across all teams.&nbsp;
"I've seen many of these people approach implausible tasks, ones we wouldn't even have chosen to tackle before, with reflexive and brilliant usage of AI to get 100X the work done," Lutke wrote.

Why It Matters: The directive comes as tech companies increasingly embrace AI, with Shopify rolling out AI-powered tools such as the "Sidekick" chatbot and the automation suite "Shopify Magic" to assist its merchants.
In February, Shopify reported <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43622684/shopify-q4-earnings-31-revenue-surge-free-cash-flow-growth-gmv-hits-94-5-billion">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $2.81 billion, marking a 31% year-over-year increase and surpassing analysts' expectations of $2.73 billion.
Price Action: Shopify&#8217;s stock has declined about 26.70% year-to-date, ending Monday's session at $78.82 after gaining 2.51%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives Shopify (SHOP) a strong growth score of 95.11%. Curious how it stacks up against other stocks? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here for the full analysis</a>.

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke Says Employees Must Prove AI Can't Handle Their Tasks Before Requesting More Headcount

While most discussions on trade and tariffs center around manufacturing and merchandise, software and service providers can be just as vulnerable. 
According to analysts, e-commerce software vendors and platforms such as&nbsp;Shopify Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>),&nbsp;Bigcommerce Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIGC#NASDAQ">BIGC</a>), and&nbsp;Lightspeed Commerce Inc.&nbsp;(TSE: LSPD) are now the &#8216;most exposed&#8217; due to recent events.
What Happened: On Wednesday, President Donald Trump closed the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-closes-de-minimis-exemptions-to-combat-chinas-role-in-americas-synthetic-opioid-crisis/">De Minimis exemption</a> for China and Hong Kong, which allowed low-value imports worth less than $800 to enter the United States duty-free.
This order is set to go into effect on May 2, 2025, with the President blaming deceptive practices used by Chinese shipping companies, along with the rise of fentanyl coming from China, for the decision.
According to analyst<a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/ecommerce-software-vendors-most-exposed-to-trump-tariffs-says-bofa-4755567">s</a> at Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), this is a major setback for e-commerce platforms such as Shopify and Bigcommerce. Duties imposed on the merchandise flowing through their platforms will certainly impact volumes, affecting their revenue models, as <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/ecommerce-software-vendors-most-exposed-to-trump-tariffs-says-bofa-4755567">reported</a> by Investing.com
The analysts stated that with intensifying competition in the e-commerce space, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44542821/inflation-will-accelerate-in-coming-months-if-april-2-tariffs-take-effect-economist-warns">passing the higher costs to consumers</a> is no longer an option. On the other hand, enterprise software firms are better insulated from this impact, given their focus on domestic clients, and less reliance on global trade.

Why It Matters: Every day, 4 million de minimis shipments from China are processed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection before being allowed into the country duty-free. Now, they will be charged either 30% of their value, or $25 per item, going up to $50 per item on June 1st, according to the White House fact sheet.

</ul>
Google continues to play an essential role in online commerce. Google and YouTube are present in 2/3rd of journeys where consumers discover new brands, products, or retailers.
Google was aligned with this vision of the future of multimodal search and spoke to their focus on Google Lens, which now serves over 20 billion monthly queries. Text-based search remains normative, and generative AI products augment the experience.
Amazon is also experimenting with visual search with Amazon Lens and is pleased with the various ways shoppers engage with the product, which suggests that users are deriving value from it.
Amazon launched its AI shopping assistant, Rufus, in 2024.
Google launched a more conversational version of Google Shopping last October. Over 1 billion people shop across Google every day, and the company sees Google Shopping as an essential part of its broader commerce strategy.
Walmart noted an opportunity to enhance the customer experience by cross-functionally driving its retail media stream. This collaboration across retail media, data, marketing, and other customer experiences will drive profit while enabling a frictionless customer experience.  
Sheridan expects Shopify to see traction in B2B due to the market&#8217;s legacy replacement cycle and relatively benign competitive backdrop.
