Exaforce Raises $75 Million Series A to Expand Multi-Model AI Platform Reducing SOC Workload Tenfold Backed by Khosla Ventures

Exaforce, a cybersecurity startup focused on artificial intelligence-driven security operations centers (SOCs), has raised $75 million in a Series A funding round. The company aims to scale its multi-model AI platform designed to reduce SOC workload by a factor of 10. This funding round reflects a broader trend of increasing investment in venture-backed cybersecurity firms this year. Khosla Ventures, a previous backer of Exaforce's founder, has added the company to its portfolio, highlighting its development of the first multi-modal AI specifically built for SOCs. Separately, Pillar Security secured $9 million in seed funding to address AI-specific security risks such as data poisoning and intellectual property leakage through a platform that integrates with existing systems and provides automatic mapping capabilities.
