Cogent Security Raises $42 Million Series A

Cogent is an applied AI lab whose agents detect and fix security vulnerabilities faster than attackers can exploit them. The Cogent platform identifies exposure to new vulnerabilities within minutes, builds contextualized remediation plans, and executes fixes at whatever level of autonomy the customer allows, from human-approved to fully autonomous. Fortune 500 security teams using Cogent have reduced the exposure window for critical vulnerabilities by 97 percent. Built by researchers and operators from Google DeepMind, Abnormal Security, and Coinbase, Cogent is backed by Greylock Partners and Bain Capital Ventures.
