Spur Intelligence, a cybersecurity startup based in Lake Mary, Florida, announced a $200 million funding round led by Insight Partners on July 28, 2026.

The company was founded in 2017 by two former Defense Department engineers. Spur develops technology that distinguishes human users from automated bot traffic.

Insight Partners partner Thomas Krane said the proliferation of sophisticated VPNs, residential proxy networks and anonymization tools creates a blind spot for organizations that can observe traffic but cannot identify its source.

Detecting malicious traffic has long been a challenge for corporate security teams.

Cloudflare reported in July 2026 that bot activity now exceeds human activity on the internet for the first time in its history.

Cloudflare founder and CEO Matthew Prince posted on X that agentic traffic growth had accelerated so rapidly that bots overtook humans.

Spur's platform is designed to help enterprises identify fake users and underlying threats amid this shift.

The $200 million round will support further development and deployment of Spur's detection capabilities.
