Applying AI to proactively automate endpoint cyber security protection is the frontier of cybersecurity defenses.
Valor Ventures Fund 2 leads the seed round in Senteon, a SaaS cybersecurity automation platform. Valor General Partner Robin Bienfait joins the board. Valor welcomes participating investors SaaS Ventures, Purdue University’s cyber security accelerator fund, and Lytical Ventures, an AI-focused VC in NY.
“We are thrilled to have Valor as our lead investor. The team understands the potential of our platform and started adding value before the check”
Bienfait says, “Senteon does something long-needed in cyber-security and it does it better than anyone else.” Bienfait’s informed perspective on cybersecurity spans 30 years leading organizations on the frontier of enterprise network cybersecurity. Prior C-suite security roles include CIO & CISO at Blackberry and Chief Innovation Officer for Samsung Enterprise out of Seoul, South Korea. “These visionaries came on our radar through Georgia Tech’s CreateX, a student-led innovation platform. I invited the team to participate with us in Startup Runway and they scored highly. This led to speaking with their customers, introducing potential, global-scale channel partners, and ultimately Valor’s investment.”
