Cybersecurity firm SAFE Secures USD 70 Million in Series C Investment
SAFE, a leading cybersecurity company based in Palo Alto, California, has secured $70 million in a Series C funding round. This investment will bolster SAFE's position in the cyber risk management market and accelerate the development of Agentic AI-based reasoning models aimed at achieving CyberAGI.
The funding round was led by Avataar Ventures, with participation from Susquehanna Asia Venture Capital, NextEquity Partners, Prosperity7 Ventures, and existing investors such as Eight Roads, John Chambers, and Sorenson Capital. With this funding, SAFE's total capital raised surpasses $170 million.
A Unified Cyber Risk Management Platform
SAFE's platform integrates CRQ, CTEM, and TPRM capabilities into a single system, making it one of the few companies to do so. The company is now focusing on applying its Agentic AI-first approach to Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), positioning CTEM alongside their existing cyber risk quantification and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) solutions.
The upgraded platform is the world's first fully autonomous CTEM solution powered by Agentic AI, enabling security and risk leaders to prioritize and remediate risks across both first- and third-party domains. The aim is to create a unified platform that empowers organizations by integrating these critical cyber risk domains in pursuit of achieving CyberAGI, a concept describing advanced AI-driven cyber risk management.
The Power of Agentic AI
Agentic AI is a type of artificial intelligence used in the new upgrade to the Cyber Risk Singularity platform. This AI technology is designed to overcome limitations in traditional tools, using multiple autonomous AI agents to provide transparent and actionable risk insights.
Avataar Ventures highlighted the strategic value of SAFE’s AI-driven approach in a cybersecurity market increasingly prioritized at the boardroom and CEO level, especially given ongoing transformative shifts driven by AI in cybersecurity.
