The article describes a Series A funding round for an agentic cybersecurity company, which updates the player map in Segment 02 but does not meet the $500M threshold for cross.§D.
Cogent Security just raised $42M Series A to tackle cybersecurity's biggest bottleneck - the gap between detecting and fixing vulnerabilities. With over 48,000 new vulnerabilities reported in 2025 (a 162% jump from 5 years ago) and AI-powered attackers probing bugs within minutes of disclosure, their autonomous AI agents are already helping Fortune 500 customers fix critical security issues 97% faster. This funding signals a major shift from reactive monitoring to AI-driven autonomous remediation, addressing the reality that security teams are drowning in coordination work rather than actual threat response. By 2026, 40% of development teams are expected to use AI-based auto-remediation, making this a pivotal moment for enterprise security operations.
