Zafran Security, a pioneer in AI-native threat exposure management, has received new backing to accelerate its growth.
The company, which specialises in using agentic AI to identify, measure and remediate cyber risk, claims it has developed a new approach to managing vulnerabilities across complex digital environments.
Zafran has raised $60m in a Series C round. The investment was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, PSP Growth, Vintage Investment Partners, and Knollwood Investment. This latest round brings Zafran’s total funding to $130m.
Founded to tackle the rising scale and sophistication of cyber attacks, Zafran’s technology is designed to automate exposure detection and response. The platform covers asset inventory, vulnerability identification, risk assessment and autonomous remediation workflows. It is aimed at reducing the manual workload typically undertaken by security analysts by using autonomous software agents and AI-driven decision-making.
The company said the funding will support product innovation and international expansion. Zafran plans to scale its agentic AI capabilities to help cyber security teams counter rapidly evolving threats, particularly as attackers begin to harness automation and generative AI. The company has tripled annual recurring revenue since its previous capital raise, and it now serves multiple Fortune 500 organisations in sectors including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing and technology.
According to Zafran, cyber risk is increasing as vulnerabilities are exploited at speed. The firm highlighted that in Q1 2025, 30% of known exploited vulnerabilities were weaponised within 24 hours of disclosure. Its new Agentic Exposure Management technology is designed to pinpoint the areas most likely to lead to breaches by combining risk context, automated ownership discovery and remediation tools.
Zafran Security CEO and co-founder Sanaz Yashar said, “We must not allow attackers to claim the AI advantage. This investment propels our AI innovation forward, building a new model for exposure management through autonomous agents that empowers defenders to fight back.”
Zafran stated it has doubled its valuation since the last funding round and plans to continue investing in its AI-based exposure analysis, risk evaluation and autonomous corrective actions across enterprise systems.
