Exaforce, an AI-native security operations platform, has raised $125M in Series B funding led by HarbourVest Partners and Peak XV Partners. The platform deploys autonomous AI agents called Exabots, powered by multi-model AI and a real-time knowledge graph, to detect, triage, investigate, and respond to threats across cloud, identity, SaaS, endpoint, and email. The capital will scale the platform, deepen AI reasoning capabilities, and support global expansion.
Agentic AI Draws Massive SOC Capital
The round brings Exaforce's total funding to $200M following a $75M Series A. It arrives as competitors like Torq ($332M raised per CBInsights) and Dropzone AI ($55M+ per CBInsights) secure big checks for AI-driven security automation. Prophet Security ($41M per CBInsights) and AirMDR ($15.5M per CBInsights) target similar agentic workflows. Exaforce stands out with its unified data layer enabling deterministic decisions via multi-model AI, avoiding LLM hallucinations.
AI Threats Overwhelm Traditional SOCs
SOC teams face exploding AI-powered attacks and alert overload, with the company reporting 90% false positive reductions for customers. Traditional SIEM and SOAR tools lag due to fragmented data and slow investigations, often taking days for mean time to response (MTTR). Exaforce's real-time knowledge graph correlates signals at ingest across 100+ integrations like GitHub, AWS GuardDuty, and Okta. Customers like Accton achieved 94% MTTI reduction, while Fuze saved over six days of person-hours per month.
Exabots Automate Full Threat Lifecycle
Exaforce's platform unifies detection to response in one self-operated system or via managed detection and response (MDR) service. Exabots handle 97% of tasks autonomously, delivering 10x productivity gains and under 30-minute alert-to-response times. Unlike workflow-focused rivals like Torq, Exaforce emphasizes a ground-up knowledge graph for context-rich reasoning.
As Ankur Singla, CEO, noted:
"We built Exaforce to be the platform defenders actually work in."
Growth Capital Signals Scale Bet
HarbourVest Partners, with $161B AUM, provides growth capital via direct co-investments, validating Exaforce's path to enterprise scale. Tier-1 Khosla Ventures, known for OpenAI, backs the frontier AI thesis, while Mayfield adds cyber expertise from exits like Securiti.ai. Prior investors Seligman Ventures and AICONIC Ventures double down, signaling conviction in agentic SOCs.
Vinod Khosla observed:
"The biggest opportunity in enterprise security is flipping the economics."
MDR Market Powers 25% CAGR Surge
The managed detection and response market stands at $6.28B in 2026 TAM, growing at 24.8% CAGR to $19B by 2031 per MarketsandMarkets. Agentic AI addresses talent shortages and rising AI adversaries, driving capital into platforms like Exaforce. Trusted by Replit, Function Health, and Guardant Health, it delivers under $600K average annual savings versus traditional SOCs.
Aggressive Hiring Fuels Global Push
Post-funding, Exaforce grew to over 130 employees and launched a hiring spree for detection engineers, SDRs, and customer engineering roles across six locations. Recent additions include Aqsa Taylor as Chief Security Evangelist and Guy Meron as VP Customer Engineering. Plans target product enhancements like Vibe Hunting for proactive threat hunting and integrations such as with Wiz.
