Exaforce’s $125m Series B bets on real-time security reasoning

Exaforce

Exaforce, a CyberTech firm pioneering agentic security operations, has secured $125m in a Series B funding round — one of the largest raises in the emerging AI security operations centre (SOC) market to date.

The round drew participation from HarbourVest, Peak XV, Mayfield, Khosla Ventures, Seligman Ventures, and AICONIC. The fresh capital arrives just 12 months after the company’s $75m Series A, pushing its cumulative funding to $200m. Exaforce intends to deploy the proceeds to scale its AI-native security platform, strengthen its real-time reasoning capabilities, and grow its international presence.

The company’s approach sets it apart from the bulk of its competitors in the AI SOC market. Where most rival platforms focus on triaging alerts after they fire — requiring agents to reconstruct context by querying logs, calling APIs, and correlating signals after the fact — Exaforce builds and continuously maintains a real-time security knowledge graph at the point of data ingestion. By connecting security events, identities, permissions, configurations, code, files, and cloud activity as they arrive, the platform gives its agents immediate access to fully contextualised information. The result is that investigations which might take conventional AI SIEM or SOC triage tools hundreds of queries and several minutes can be completed by Exaforce in under a minute — a claimed tenfold reduction in time and a meaningful reduction in the number of tokens consumed per investigation. Correlating data at ingest, rather than at query time, also underpins the company’s real-time detection capability — something Exaforce argues is structurally impossible for platforms that reconstruct context on demand.

The architecture has implications for reasoning quality too. Because every event is chained to its associated identity and every resource is linked to the parties that read, wrote, and held permissions over it, the platform’s agents follow genuine relationships rather than inferring them from scattered logs. This translates into fewer false positives, higher-fidelity detections, and response recommendations security teams can act upon with confidence.

Exaforce offers an AI-native security operations platform built for environments where speed, context, and consistent reasoning are considered non-negotiable. Its real-time knowledge graph moves beyond basic alert triage to help security teams detect attacks as they develop. In the past year, the business grew to more than 130 employees and processed millions of investigations across its expanding customer base. Recent product releases include Vibe Hunting, reflecting the company’s continued investment in detection, investigation, and response capabilities. Looking ahead, Exaforce plans to further develop its core platform — including multi-model AI and its real-time knowledge graph — whilst also growing its global footprint, with dedicated go-to-market investment targeted at Japan and Europe. The company will additionally continue investing in customer success, research, managed detection and response (MDR) oversight, and support functions.

Exaforce CEO Ankur Singla said, “We built Exaforce to be the platform defenders actually work in, not just an AI layer on top of existing tools. It starts with a real-time knowledge graph that gives agents complete context from the start, and extends into rich investigation and visualization experiences that put security engineers and AI agents on the same page. This funding lets us deepen that platform and bring it to security teams on a global scale.”

Invisible vice president of security Patrick McKinney said, “After actively evaluating several options, we went with Exaforce as our AI-native security platform and modern SIEM, backed by their MDR service for 24/7 expert coverage. What set them apart was the ability to unlock the full value of our data, from enriched event ingestion to detection, response, and automation, all within a single platform. The combination of AI-driven efficiency and the added expertise of their MDR team has helped us scale more effectively without overextending resources. Exaforce feels less like a vendor and more like a true security partner, and we’re on a clear path to expanding use cases together.”

Linx Security, an identity security and governance platform, recently raised $50m in a Series B funding round led by global software investor Insight Partners, with continued participation from existing backers Cyberstarts and Index Ventures.
