Quantro Security has emerged from stealth with the launch of its first product, an AI-powered security agent designed to help organisations manage vulnerabilities and cyber risks at scale.
Details about the amount raised and the full list of investors were not disclosed, however, the company confirmed it has backing from Gradient, a seed fund focused on supporting founders building artificial intelligence companies.
The startup was founded by cybersecurity veterans with engineering and product leadership backgrounds at major security firms including CrowdStrike, Tenable and Qualys. Quantro aims to tackle one of the biggest issues facing security teams today: the growing mismatch between the speed of modern cyber threats and the ability of human analysts to respond.
According to the company, traditional vulnerability management processes have become overwhelmed by the volume of risk alerts and the increasing sophistication of AI-enabled cyber attacks. As attackers automate exploit development and scale their operations, security teams are left struggling to prioritise genuine threats among thousands of alerts.
Quantro’s new product, VM.Analyst, is designed to address this challenge using autonomous AI agents capable of analysing and prioritising cyber risks across an organisation’s environment. The platform integrates with existing cybersecurity tools such as vulnerability management platforms, cloud security systems, configuration management databases and firewalls.
By ingesting and normalising data from these systems, the AI agent deduplicates risk findings and evaluates them within the context of the organisation’s specific infrastructure and security controls. This allows it to determine which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable and recommend actions to remediate them.
The company says the platform provides a unified layer of actionable intelligence that allows security teams to focus on the most critical risks while reducing the manual work associated with investigating false positives or low-impact issues.
VM.Analyst also allows analysts to interact with the system through natural language prompts, enabling them to request insights, delegate remediation tasks or prioritise vulnerabilities through a conversational interface. The system maintains human oversight while automating many of the most time-consuming aspects of security operations.
Quantro believes this type of AI-native defence is becoming essential as cyber threats increasingly leverage artificial intelligence themselves. With attackers able to rapidly weaponise newly disclosed vulnerabilities, organisations must shift from manual analysis to automated reasoning and response.
Quantro Security co-founder and CPO Mehul Revankar said, “AI’s real power is its ability to deliver outcomes previously unattainable. For the first time, organizations can tailor risk assessment to their own security controls, pinpoint what is truly exploitable, and eliminate those exposures before attackers strike.”
Quantro co-founder and CEO Sasan Padidar said, “In this new era of AI-native products, ideas are priceless, and code is cheap, but execution is everything. Quantro is the culmination of 20 years of product building distilled into a single, definitive solution for managing cyber risks.”
NRG interim CISO Gabriel Montague said, “Today’s AI-driven threats require far more than just people-driven defense. By partnering with Quantro Security, we’re utilizing agentic AI as a force multiplier, drastically shrinking our attack surface, eliminating high-effort work, and transforming our analysts into strategic architects of defense.”
