Hadrian Raises $40M to Tackle the AI Hacking Cyber Security Crisis
aiinsider ·
Hadrian, an agentic AI offensive security platform, has secured $40 million in a funding round co-led by Forgepoint Capital International and SmartFin. This investment brings the company's total capital raised to $65 million, which will support its expansion into EMEA and the U.S. markets as well as deepen investments in engineering and research teams. The platform utilizes AI agents to identify genuinely exploitable vulnerabilities through its Atlas and Nova products, addressing the crisis of attackers using AI to automate threats at machine speed. Hadrian aims to cut through the noise of irrelevant security signals, helping enterprises prioritize remediation efforts more effectively than traditional manual penetration testing. Founded by Rogier Fischer, Olivier Beg, and Maurice Clin, the company serves major clients including McKesson, NBC Universal, and TotalEnergies. Investors cite strong enterprise retention rates and ambitious goals for the startup to achieve nine-figure revenue. The raise comes amid growing concerns about AI-driven cyberattacks and the inadequacy of current security measures that rely heavily on manual processes.
