Australian cloud security company Circumvent has raised $6m in seed funding to accelerate its AI-driven platform aimed at transforming how enterprises handle security alerts and remediation.
According to Security Week, the round was led by Paladin Capital Group, a global investor known for backing early-stage cyber and national security-focused firms.
Circumvent’s platform leverages artificial intelligence to correlate and enrich security alerts from diverse sources—including cloud providers, open-source platforms, and third-party security tools. By aligning alerts with real-time business context, it enables enterprises to filter out noise, prioritise actual risks, and streamline remediation through intelligent automation.
The funding will be used to drive product development and strengthen customer engagement. The company plans to retain its R&D operations in Australia while setting up a commercial headquarters in San Francisco, a strategic move aimed at expanding its presence in the US market and enhancing support for global clients.
Circumvent’s platform includes a Multi-Agent AI System that learns from a company’s environment and integrates remediation tasks into existing DevSecOps workflows. The system supports one-click fixes directly through customers’ code repositories and helps firms enforce tailored security policies aligned with compliance standards.
The firm is currently serving enterprise customers across the US, Australia, and New Zealand, and supports major cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Circumvent CEO and co-founder Michael Watts said, “Security and cloud teams are under immense pressure to move fast without increasing risk. We’re not just generating more alerts—we’re building the intelligence layer that helps teams understand what to fix, why it’s important, and how to take immediate action to resolve the root cause.”
