Exaforce Raises $75M to Enhance AI in Security Operations

Exaforce, a San Jose-based cybersecurity startup, has raised $75 million in Series A funding led by Khosla Ventures, Mayfield, and Thomvest Ventures to scale its Agentic SOC Platform. The platform leverages multi-model AI and autonomous agents known as Exabots to automate and enhance security operations, aiming to reduce human workload while improving threat detection, investigation, and response speed. Exaforce’s approach combines semantic, behavioral, statistical, and knowledge-based AI models, going beyond traditional large language models for deeper and more accurate analysis of security data. The company’s technology is designed to address the overwhelming volume of alerts, reduce false positives, and alleviate the burden on SOC analysts, who often face burnout due to manual, repetitive tasks. CEO Ankur Singla emphasized that the new funding will primarily support R&D and further development of Exaforce’s proprietary AI models, with a focus on collaborating with large enterprise clients. The company has already partnered with several leading enterprises and is positioning itself to help fill the global shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals by automating complex SOC workflows.
