Hackuity, a cybersecurity company based in France, has closed a $19 million round to push its vulnerability management platform further and widen its reach outside its home market. Forgepoint Capital International led the deal, with Bright Pixel, Bpifrance and Seventure Partners all coming back in. The new money takes Hackuity’s total funding to $38 million.
The company’s pitch is fairly blunt: there are too many vulnerabilities, too many tools, and not enough time. Hackuity’s Vulnerability Operations Center is meant to pull in findings from more than 130 security tools and put them in one place, then sort them using threat intelligence, asset criticality and business context. The goal is to help security teams decide what actually needs attention first, instead of drowning in alerts.
That problem is getting worse, not better. Hackuity says there are now around 350,000 known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, up 20 per cent year on year. At the same time, AI tools are making it easier to uncover new issues faster, which is great if you’re selling detection and less great if you’re the team stuck triaging the mess. The real headache is not finding vulnerabilities. It is getting security, IT and engineering to agree on what gets fixed, and when.
Hackuity’s platform uses a proprietary risk-scoring engine that keeps re-evaluating severity, exploitability, threat intelligence, asset criticality and possible business impact. The company also says it works with systems integrators, resellers and managed security service providers to help enterprises deploy the technology. The fresh capital will go into product development, more AI capability and international expansion, with Europe and Asia in focus.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
Security vendors love to say AI will change everything, but here it mostly sounds like AI is accelerating the queue. Hackuity is betting that the boring part — prioritising and routing fixes — is where the real value sits. That’s a healthier pitch than magical detection theatre, and probably a more durable one too.
