Agentic exposure management startup Dux has emerged from stealth mode with $9 million in seed funding.
With offices in Tel Aviv and New York, Dux was founded by Israel Defense Forces veterans to prevent vulnerability exploitation by identifying exposures across enterprise environments.
The startup relies on AI workers to continuously analyze exploitability across enterprise assets, determining whether existing controls are effective in blocking attacks.
The agents are programmed to identify viable attack paths and provide lightweight mitigations when necessary, for rapid resolution.
The company analyzes an enterprise’s entire security posture to identify missing controls or configuration changes that can block attacks before full patches are applied.
According to Dux, its multi-stage approach that focuses only on what is exploitable reduces the attack surface and accelerates safety at machine speed.
Dux’s seed funding round was led by Redpoint, TLV Partners, and Maple Capital, with additional support from CrowdStrike, Okta, and Armis.
The company will use the investment to expand its R&D team in Tel Aviv, accelerate agentic capability development, and grow its US go-to-market team.
“Most scanner findings aren’t exploitable once you account for real context,” said Amit Nir, co-founder and CPO of Dux. “But discovering that manually takes expert judgment and deep knowledge of the environment. Agentic AI lets teams apply that level of reasoning across every vulnerability and asset, every time.”
