AI-Powered Cybersecurity Startup Empirical Security Unleashes $12M to Outsmart Hackers
Empirical Security emerges from stealth with $12M in seed funding to revolutionize cybersecurity. Their AI-powered vulnerability management platform fights cyberattacks with a dual model architecture: global models predict new threats, while local models adapt defenses to your unique infrastructure. Because, let’s face it, one-size-fits-all only works for stretchy pants, not cybersecurity.
Hot Take:
Empirical Security is like the new kid on the cybersecurity block who just showed up with a shiny new AI toy and a pocketful of cash. With $12 million in seed funding, they’re ready to train AI models that are as unique as your aunt’s recipe for potato salad. And with a leadership team poached from Kenna Security, they’re not just talking the talk; they’re walking the walk straight out of stealth mode and into the big leagues.
Key Points:
- Empirical Security emerges from stealth mode with $12 million in seed funding.
- The funding round was led by Costanoa Ventures, with support from DNX Ventures and others.
- Empirical creates custom AI models for vulnerability management tailored to individual organizations.
- Kenna Security alumni Ed Bellis, Michael Roytman, and Jay Jacobs are key players in Empirical’s leadership.
- Empirical’s dual model architecture uses global and local AI models to predict and adapt to threats.
