Quantro Security has emerged from stealth mode with the launch of its first product, an AI-driven security agent designed to help organisations respond faster to cyber threats.
The company also confirmed it has secured seed backing from Gradient, an investment fund focused on artificial intelligence start-ups. The exact amount of funding raised was not disclosed.
Quantro Security was founded by cybersecurity veterans with experience at companies including CrowdStrike, Tenable and Qualys. The firm is building a new approach to cyber defence built around autonomous agentic AI systems capable of reasoning across large volumes of security data.
Its first product, VM.Analyst, is designed to support security teams by analysing vulnerability information, identifying real threats and helping organisations respond before attackers can exploit weaknesses.
The company argues that the cybersecurity landscape has reached a tipping point, with organisations struggling to keep pace with machine-generated threats. Modern security teams often face an overwhelming number of alerts and risk findings from multiple tools, making it difficult to determine which vulnerabilities present genuine risk. Quantro aims to address this challenge by using AI agents capable of analysing complex datasets and prioritising remediation actions in real time.
According to the company, the new funding and product launch will support the development of what it describes as an automated “army of defence” for security teams. The platform is designed to reduce the manual workload associated with vulnerability management while enabling security analysts to focus on higher-value strategic work.
Quantro’s VM.Analyst integrates with an organisation’s existing cybersecurity infrastructure, pulling in data from vulnerability management systems, cloud security platforms, configuration management databases and firewalls. The platform then normalises the data, removes duplicates and enables AI agents to reason across the combined datasets to produce actionable insights. By evaluating risks within the context of each organisation’s unique environment, including compensating controls and existing security configurations, the system aims to identify which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable and recommend precise remediation steps.
Security analysts can interact with the AI agent using natural language prompts, enabling them to request insights, delegate tasks or trigger remediation workflows. The platform is designed to keep human operators involved in decision-making while allowing automation to handle time-consuming analysis and prioritisation tasks.
NRG interim CISO Gabriel Montague said, “Today’s AI-driven threats require far more than just people-driven defense. By partnering with Quantro Security, we’re utilizing agentic AI as a force multiplier, drastically shrinking our attack surface, eliminating high-effort work, and transforming our analysts into strategic architects of defense.”
Quantro Security co-founder and CPO Mehul Revankar said, “AI’s real power is its ability to deliver outcomes previously unattainable. For the first time, organizations can tailor risk assessment to their own security controls, pinpoint what is truly exploitable, and eliminate those exposures before attackers strike.”
Quantro Security co-founder and CEO Sasan Padidar said, “In this new era of AI-native products, ideas are priceless, and code is cheap, but execution is everything. Quantro is the culmination of 20 years of product building distilled into a single, definitive solution for managing cyber risks.”
