Seth Summersett, Co-Founder & CEO of Embed Security said, “Overworked analysts are struggling to keep up with the sheer volume of threats, Our platform uses AI and other ML techniques to autonomously investigate alerts, determine real threats, and guide analysts on next steps.”
Embed provides scalable, complete threat coverage with autonomous triaging, including the investigation and prioritization of threats across the entire security stack, while empowering the analyst, not replacing them.
The agentic security platform reduces repetitive tasks and enables teams to focus on high-value work like remediation, threat hunting, and learning. Embed continuously learns and adapts to new threats, enhancing its effectiveness over time.
Mourad Yesayan, Managing Director at Paladin Capital Group and Embed Security Board member said, “The traditional model of heavily relying on human effort to manually triage threats is unsustainable, We’re excited to support Seth and Jeff as they build the next generation of AI-driven technologies for cyber security operations, enabling security teams to be more efficient, proactive, and effective.”
Embed’s system builds trust by providing transparent, clear explanations and evidence that align with analyst intuition. The technology is currently being tested with early-access customers in the automotive, insurance, legal, and technology sectors.

About Embed Security
Founded in 2024, co-founders Seth Summersett and Jeffrey Johns are using their experience from Google, Meta, FireEye, Mandiant, and the NSA to solve the challenge of the overwhelming volume of cyber threat alerts that overburden even the most sophisticated organizations.
Specifically, manual effort of triaging of security alerts causes slower reaction times to real threats and distracts analysts from proactive threat hunting, increasing organizational vulnerability.
