Exaforce Raises $125M in Series B Funding

The company plans to use the funding to expand its AI native security operations platform, improve its real-time reasoning and multi model AI features, and grow its global sales and market presence in key regions such as Japan, and Europe.

The funding comes as security operations move from human-led threat monitoring to AI-driven systems that can analyze live security data and respond in real time.

Exaforce also plans to expand its global presence, with new go-to-market investments in Japan and Europe. At the same time, the company will continue investing in customer support, research, managed detection and response oversight, and other services to help customers improve response speed, resilience, and confidence in critical environments.

As AI-powered cyberattacks and zero-day threats increase, security teams need systems that can detect and respond faster than humans alone. Exaforce is built for this environment, where speed, context and accurate decision-making are critical. Its real time knowledge graph helps security teams identify and respond to attacks in real time, going beyond basic alert management.

Most AI-enabled SIEM and AI SOC tools rebuild security context during investigations by searching logs, calling APIs, linking signals, and analyzing data after an incident occurs. This process can require hundreds of queries and several minutes to complete, using significant time and computing resources.

Exaforce takes a different approach by creating and maintaining a real-time security knowledge graph as data is collected. The platform automatically connects security events, identities, permissions, files, code, configurations, and cloud activity in real time. Because the context is already organized, Exaforce’s AI agents can answer investigation questions in under a minute, reducing investigation time by up to 10 times and lowering computing costs.

"The biggest opportunity in enterprise security is flipping the economics, so that defenders, not attackers, hold the leverage," said Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, and an investor in Exaforce. “When the cost of defense drops by an order of magnitude, the entire calculus of security changes. Exaforce is the architecture that makes that possible."

"As a biotech company, safeguarding highly sensitive data is a constant priority, especially in a landscape shaped by faster, AI driven attacks," said Steve Mancini CISO at Guardant Health. "With Exaforces Exabots, we have accelerated detection, threat hunting, response and investigations while expanding coverage without adding headcount.

"Our team uses Exabot's natural language search to get actionable answers on security events and security posture in a single tool, rather than juggling disparate interfaces and query languages. Exaforce has become a high-trust partner, and the platform has transformed how we run security operations," said Steve Mancini.

"We built Exaforce to be the platform defenders actually work in, not just an AI layer on top of existing tools," said Ankur Singla, CEO of Exaforce. "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."

"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," said Patrick McKinney, Vice President of Security at Invisible. "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," said Patrick McKinney.
