The era of purely reactive security operations is over. AiStrike, a cybersecurity company pioneering AI-native, preemptive cyber defense, today announced it has raised $7 million in Seed funding to scale its agentic AI platform for security operations. The round was led by Blumberg Capital, with participation from Runtime Ventures, Oregon Venture Fund, and strategic angel investors.
Moving Beyond Reactive Security Operations
Despite sustained investment in security tools, most security operations remain reactive. Complex, SIEM-centric environments generate overwhelming alert volumes, driving higher costs, analyst fatigue, and limited risk reduction. Traditional SOC and MDR models prioritize processing alerts faster rather than reducing exposure, while newer “AI SOC” solutions often apply AI narrowly to triage or investigation workflows without addressing upstream noise or detection gaps.
Cybercriminals are rapidly adopting AI to automate reconnaissance, exploitation, and evasion, increasing the speed and scale of attacks. AiStrike was built for this new reality, where automated threats outpace human-only defense models. Rather than passively reacting to alerts, AiStrike delivers an end-to-end, AI-native cyber defense platform that unifies threat intelligence, detection engineering, investigation, and response across the security operations lifecycle.

Powered by agentic AI, AiStrike continuously analyzes threat exposure, improves detections, prioritizes real risk, and drives preventive action, enabling preemptive cyber defense.
“The traditional security operating model no longer works in a world of AI-driven threats,” said Nitin Agale, Founder and CEO of AiStrike. “AiStrike was built to enable preemptive cyber defense, continuously reducing exposure without adding tools, headcount, or black-box services. This funding accelerates our ability to deliver that operating model at scale to enterprises and government organizations.”
Proven at Enterprise and Government Scale
Deployed by global enterprises and government organizations, AiStrike is replacing traditional
SOC and MDR engagements.
Across more than 5 million investigations in the past year, customers report:
- 50%+ lower security operations costs
- 90% fewer false positives
- 40% broader detection coverage
- Investigation times reduced from hours to minutes
“When we relied on MDR, our team spent most of its time chasing false positives and justifying costs,” said Varun Singhal, Director of Information Security at Sunrun. “With AiStrike, only alerts that truly matter reach our team. We’ve cut costs in half, improved coverage, and gained a single place to investigate and respond. For the first time, our security operations feel proactive and future-ready.”
“AiStrike has been the most agile and adaptive technology partner we’ve worked with. Beyond the technology being exemplary, the quality and caliber of the team, and their focus on solving real business outcomes, is second to none. They’ve driven tangible improvements in how we leverage AI that we simply wouldn’t have achieved otherwise.”
