AI cyber threat intelligence firm CloudSEK secures $19m to scale global operations

CloudSEK, a cyber company known for its AI-driven threat prediction and intelligence platform, has raised $19m across its Series A2 and B1 funding rounds.

The round drew participation from a mix of India- and US-based investors, including MassMutual Ventures, Inflexor Ventures, Prana Ventures, Tenacity Ventures, and Commvault. Previous backers such as the Meeran Family (founders of Eastern Group), StartupXSeed, Neon Fund, and Exfinity Ventures also recommitted to the company’s vision.

Founded in 2015 by cybersecurity researcher and entrepreneur Rahul Sasi, CloudSEK offers a predictive platform designed to identify potential cyber breaches before they occur. The company’s solution analyses early indicators like leaked credentials, exposed APIs, and compromised vendors—flagging threats before they escalate into full-blown incidents. Unlike conventional cyber tools that act post-attack, CloudSEK aims to stop threats at the source by identifying initial attack vectors (IAVs).

The newly secured capital will be used to accelerate CloudSEK’s product development, particularly its AI models and integration capabilities. It will also support the company’s ongoing global expansion, with an emphasis on scaling in the US—currently its fastest-growing market.

CloudSEK currently serves over 250 enterprises across industries including banking, healthcare, technology, and the public sector. The platform’s reputation has helped it gain a 4.8-star rating on Gartner Peer Insights from nearly 200 reviews, making it one of the highest-rated vendors in the sector.

CloudSEK CEO Rahul Sasi said, “We built CloudSEK to predict the initial attack vector and stop threats before they hit the headlines with the goal of preventing threats before they escalate.”

Tenacity Ventures partner Rohit Razdan said, “CloudSEK has created a great product based on cutting-edge AI, appropriate for the security needs of top global companies. Tenacity is excited about backing and working closely with Rahul and his team to help build a great global technology product company from India.”

CloudSEK vice president of finance Kalyan Kumar Vattipalli said, “CloudSEK has grown 3x in ARR over the last 24 months and continues to grow well above industry standards.”
