Cybersecurity Startup Hackuity Emerges Out of Stealth With a €12M funding

Hackuity, an attack prevention cybersecurity startup, emerged from stealth with a €12 millions funding round led by Sonae IM with participation of previous investor Caisse des Dépôts renewing its confidence.

Founded by Orange Cyberdefense veterans and lifelong friends Patrick Ragaru and Pierre Polette, Hackuity empowers cybersecurity teams and leaders to comprehensively collect, prioritize, and remediate security weaknesses before they can be exploited by their adversaries.

The explosion of the traditional IT infrastructure into collections of fragmented cloud & hybrid environments and distributed applications, combined with the natural growth of our digital footprint, created a perfect storm situation for cyber security teams in small and large organizations alike. The exponential complexity of their attack surface translated into an unmanageable fragmentation of cybersecurity tools, processes and tactics, which in turn considerably hindered their ability to find, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities before attacks could exploit them.

Hackuity reinvents Vulnerability Management by normalizing and aggregating all 3rd-party exposure data of its customers into a single pane of glass and analytical engine. By breaking technological silos, Hackuity allows its customers to capture, at last, the complete picture of their security posture.

Additionally, with advanced analytics and machine learning, Hackuity revolutionizes remediation, prioritization and orchestration by working holistically across all IT dimensions of its customers, from infrastructure, even if on the cloud or as code, to the development lifecycle and application level.

Vulnerability Management, a foundational security practice, has become progressively less relevant over the years and too many organizations made the headlines because of cyber-attacks that could and should have been prevented,” said Patrick Ragaru, CEO and co-founder. “We’re on a quest to revolutionize this practice and to allow enterprises to quantify and improve their security objectively. Organizations, large and small, wherever they are, should be able to run their business with peace of mind, knowing that their security posture is rock solid and can serenely sustain the incessant waves of cyber-attacks our world is plagued with.

Today’s IT infrastructures, in the cloud or elsewhere, are enormous collections of structured and unstructured data that customers cannot hope to comprehend entirely. Security professionals just can’t keep up with the countless vulnerabilities, of all natures, that puncture the digital fabric of their organizations,” says Carlos Moreira da Silva, Partner at Sonae IM. “To them, Hackuity is a game-changing security platform. It completely abstracts data sources and provides security teams with the normalized and digestible vulnerability intelligence they’ve been waiting for to prioritize their remediation efforts. We’re thrilled to partner with Patrick and the team to bring this innovation to as many practitioners as possible and improve our society’s cyber resilience.”
