AiStrike, a cyber company focused on AI-native, preemptive cyber defence, has raised fresh capital of $7m in seed funding.
The firm secured $7m in a round led by Blumberg Capital, with participation from Runtime Ventures, Oregon Venture Fund, and strategic angel investors.
AiStrike is positioning its platform as an alternative to security operations built around reactive, SIEM-centric workflows. It argues many SOC and MDR models still revolve around handling large volumes of alerts, creating higher costs, analyst fatigue, and limited improvements in risk reduction, while some newer “AI SOC” offerings focus AI on narrow triage or investigation tasks without closing detection gaps.
Against a backdrop of cybercriminals increasingly using AI for reconnaissance, exploitation and evasion, AiStrike said it was designed for an environment where automated threats can outpace human-only defence teams. The company’s platform aims to unify threat intelligence, exposure analysis, detection engineering, investigation and response in a single system, using agentic AI across the security operations lifecycle to analyse exposure, improve detections, hunt threats and drive preventive action.
AiStrike said it will use the funding to scale its agentic AI platform for security operations, as it expands capabilities designed to make pre-emptive cyber defence a core operating model for modern security teams, including across enterprises and government organisations.
The company also highlighted a federated approach that connects directly to alert sources and edge systems, rather than requiring organisations to centralise all data in a SIEM. It said this model is intended to reduce latency, improve coverage and cut cost and operational overhead linked to rigid, centralised architectures. Alongside this, it is offering “Agentic Cyber Defense as a Service”, positioning it as a way for customers to focus on outcomes while AiStrike continuously operates and optimises AI defence agents.
AiStrike said it has been deployed by global enterprises and government organisations, and claimed that across more than 5 million investigations in the past year, customers have seen over 50% lower security operations costs, 90% fewer false positives, 40% broader detection coverage, and investigation times reduced from hours to minutes.
AiStrike CEO Nitin Agale said, “The traditional security operating model no longer works in a world of AI-driven threats.” AiStrike CEO Nitin Agale said, “AiStrike was built to enable preemptive cyber defense, continuously reducing exposure without adding tools, headcount, or black-box services. This funding accelerates our ability to deliver that operating model at scale to enterprises and government organizations.”
Sunrun director of information security Varun Singhal said, “When we relied on MDR, our team spent most of its time chasing false positives and justifying costs.” Sunrun director of information security Varun Singhal said, “With AiStrike, only alerts that truly matter reach our team. We’ve cut costs in half, improved coverage, and gained a single place to investigate and respond. For the first time, our security operations feel proactive and future-ready.”
