Reach Security, a cybersecurity company leveraging AI to streamline exposure management and security enforcement, has raised $10m in a strategic investment round.
The funding was led by M12, Microsoft’s venture arm, with continued support from existing backers including Artisanal Ventures.
Reach Security offers an AI-powered virtual assistant designed to help enterprises translate security intent into actionable enforcement across SaaS and on-premise environments. Its platform focuses on enabling exposure management by simplifying policy enforcement, remediation, and configuration drift detection.
The new funding will be used to expand Reach’s product capabilities and AI infrastructure. The company recently launched ConfigIQ Drift™, a virtual assistant that enables security teams to define and enforce drift detection rules without the need for deep technical knowledge.
It also previewed an upcoming Asset Intelligence feature that will offer comprehensive visibility into identities, devices, and workloads, aiming to further optimise prioritisation and response.
The investment from M12 signals increasing interest in tools that support Zero Trust frameworks, CMMC 2.0 compliance, and Microsoft 365 E5 adoption. Reach’s platform supports these use cases by aligning enforcement with identity and endpoint controls, mapping configurations to compliance requirements, and enabling proactive monitoring and validation.
M12 managing partner Todd Graham said, “Reach is redefining what actionable exposure management looks like. Their AI-powered assistant and extensible platform align directly with the needs of enterprise customers adopting Zero Trust, navigating compliance frameworks like CMMC, and helping customers migrate to or even activate underused capabilities in Microsoft 365 E5.”
Reach Security CEO and co-founder Garrett Hamilton said, “Security teams aren’t just overwhelmed, they’re under-leveraged. This partnership with M12 validates our belief that the next generation of cyber defense will be AI-powered, assistant-driven, plus deeply operational and focused on creating leverage for companies and their security tools. We’re building the infrastructure for that future today.”
