Ontic, a Texas-based software platform for connected security intelligence, has raised $230m in a Series C funding round led by funds managed by KKR, with participation from JMI Equity, Silverton Partners, Ridge Ventures and Ten Eleven Ventures.
The company, founded in 2017, has built a platform that enables corporate and government security teams to detect threats, manage incidents and streamline risk intelligence operations. It is used by major enterprises including Fortune 50 firms across sectors such as technology, financial services and consumer goods.
The new funding will accelerate Ontic’s artificial intelligence capabilities, enhancing threat detection and automation for security teams. The company also plans to expand internationally and strengthen its platform for both global enterprises and the US public sector.
Ontic’s Connected Intelligence Platform unifies fragmented security systems, bringing together data from internal sources such as HR, IT and legal alongside external intelligence feeds. This provides security teams with a centralised view, allowing them to shift from reactive to proactive threat management while reducing manual processes and improving operational efficiency.
Ontic CEO and co-founder Lukas Quanstrom said, “Security leaders are being asked to do more than ever—track growing volumes of data, work with limited resources, and still show up as strategic partners to the business.
“It’s a heavy lift. This investment is about backing them. It’s about giving them a unified platform—powered by AI and built for real-world complexity—that reduces noise, connects the dots, and helps them lead with clarity and confidence in moments that matter.”
KKR partner and head of tech growth equity, Americas, Jake Heller said, “Ontic has shown a remarkable ability to support security teams across industries—from multinational enterprises to federal agencies—by addressing the increasingly complex and data-driven nature of security.
“We believe Ontic is setting the standard for what modern security operations should look like. Their platform is built on a foundation of integrated intelligence rather than point solutions and positions them to be a leader in a market that is demanding consolidation, clarity, and scale.”
