SAFE Security Raises $70 Million to Build the World’s First CyberAGI Platform Silicon Valley – In a major vote of confidence from investors, cybersecurity startup SAFE Security, founded
Silicon Valley – In a major vote of confidence from investors, cybersecurity startup SAFE Security, founded by Indian entrepreneur Saket Modi, has raised $70 million in its Series C funding round.
The round was led by Avataar Ventures and saw participation from heavyweights such as Susquehanna Asia Venture Capital, NextEquity Partners, and Prosperity7 Ventures. Existing backers including Eight Roads, John Chambers (former Cisco CEO), and Sorenson Capital also doubled down on their bets.
SAFE’s mission? Nothing short of revolutionizing cyber defense with CyberAGI — a bold vision to build an autonomous, intelligent cybersecurity platform that can understand, reason, and act in real time without human intervention.
SAFE Security claims to be the first company in the world to offer a fully autonomous Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) solution — a significant evolution in an era where cyber threats evolve faster than humans can respond.
At the heart of this transformation is what the company calls Agentic AI, a new class of AI capable of reasoning, planning, and decision-making independently — with minimal or no manual input. SAFE believes Agentic AI will unlock CyberAGI (Cyber Artificial General Intelligence), the cybersecurity equivalent of a self-driving brain.
“The cyber landscape has shifted. Organizations are no longer being targeted — they are being surveilled, infiltrated, and disrupted by autonomous threat actors. It’s time we matched that with equally intelligent defenses,” said Saket Modi, co-founder and CEO of SAFE Security.
The company plans to invest heavily in three key areas:
SAFE is looking to scale operations across the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific, responding to growing demand from enterprises, governments, and critical infrastructure sectors.
A large portion of the funds will go toward building out its proprietary reasoning engines, the backbone of its future CyberAGI platform. SAFE’s vision is not just faster detection but continuous, intelligent, and autonomous defense.
SAFE is actively hiring top-tier AI researchers, cybersecurity engineers, and enterprise architects to bolster its platform and deepen integration with enterprise ecosystems such as cloud platforms, SIEMs, and endpoint tools.
Alongside the funding news, SAFE also announced a significant upgrade to its flagship product — the Cyber Risk Singularity platform.
With this release, the company introduced what it says is the world’s first fully autonomous Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) solution, powered by Agentic AI.
Most cybersecurity platforms today are reactive — they wait for alerts, rely on human intervention, and struggle to correlate real-time risk signals across sprawling digital ecosystems.
SAFE’s platform promises:
In short, SAFE says it’s moving from “defensive security” to “predictive and autonomous risk management.”
One of the most pressing and complex problems in cybersecurity today is third-party risk. Businesses rely on hundreds, sometimes thousands, of vendors and partners — each of which can be a potential backdoor for attackers.
SAFE’s autonomous TPRM platform automates:
This is a game-changer for industries like financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government, where supply chain attacks have been increasing in scale and sophistication.
This Series C round puts SAFE in the elite tier of cybersecurity startups with deep-pocketed, long-term backers. Notable investors include:
A serial entrepreneur and ethical hacker turned CEO, Saket Modi founded SAFE Security with a vision to quantify and automate cyber risk. His belief: cybersecurity should not be a black box, but a business function — measurable, dynamic, and intelligent.
Modi’s long-term goal? To build the “ChatGPT of cybersecurity” — an AGI-level system that can not only understand cyber threats but predict, prevent, and mitigate them autonomously across any enterprise environment.
While “CyberAGI” may sound ambitious, SAFE Security is tapping into a real and urgent trend: the rising autonomization of both offense and defense in cyberspace.
As attackers begin using AI-generated malware, autonomous reconnaissance bots, and deepfake social engineering, defenders must respond in kind — with AI-native systems that are always-on, always-learning, and always-acting.
SAFE’s $70 million raise is more than just a funding milestone — it’s a signal that the next era of cybersecurity won’t just be smarter. It’ll be autonomous.
