Augur Raises $7 Million in Seed Funding for AI-Powered Threat Prevention
Augur, formerly known as SecLytics, a San Diego-based company specializing in AI-powered threat prevention, has recently secured $7 million in seed funding to further develop its innovative platform.
The funding round was led by General Advance, with notable participation from industry experts such as Ely Kahn, VP Product for Cloud Security and AI/ML at SentinelOne; Spencer Thompson, Co-Founder and CEO of Prelude; Travis McPeak, Co-Founder and CEO of Resourcely; Josh Lospinoso, Co-Founder and CEO of Shift5, along with other senior executives from Amazon, Google, and CloudFlare.
Augur’s predictive threat prevention platform leverages artificial intelligence to monitor global internet activity, analyze attacker behaviors, and map out potential attack infrastructure. By utilizing AI and behavioral modeling, the system can detect early signs of malicious intent months before attacks are launched. With an impressive near-zero false positive rate of 0.007%, Augur is able to identify and preemptively shut down attack infrastructure, allowing security teams to take action swiftly. Whether autonomously blocking threats or providing critical intelligence for human review, Augur gives security teams full control over their defenses.
Designed to seamlessly integrate into customer environments, Augur autonomously identifies threats and coordinates responses through existing security controls. The platform is currently utilized by a range of industries including financial institutions, global energy providers, healthcare organizations, telecommunications companies, and critical infrastructure operators.
With this recent funding boost, Augur is poised to expand its platform development and continue providing cutting-edge AI-powered threat prevention solutions to its clients.
