Qevlar AI Raises $10 Million for Autonomous Investigation Platform

French cybersecurity startup Qevlar AI has raised $10 million in a funding round led by EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital International.

French cybersecurity startup Qevlar AI on Tuesday announced raising $10 million in a fresh funding round that brings the total investment in the company to $14 million.

The new funding round was led by EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital International, with additional support from several angel investors.

Founded in 2023, the Paris, France-based company has built an autonomous investigation platform to increase the efficiency of security operations centers (SOCs) by decreasing analysis time and increasing classification accuracy.

Through an autonomous investigation API, Qevlar AI provides customers with rapid, automated analysis of potential incidents, enabling faster remediation of threats.

The startup’s proactive, agnostic solution integrates with the organization’s existing stack to pull data from it, while leveraging AI to continuously learn and improve. It also generates detailed reports after each investigation, and recommends remediation steps.

Qevlar AI will use the new funding to accelerate growth and international market expansion, and hire new talent across teams. It will also invest in advanced product research and development.

“Our autonomous agents don’t just assist analysts; they recalibrate what’s possible in security operations by conducting complete investigations that previously consumed hours in just seconds, with greater consistency and accuracy. As a result, SOCs can shift from being reactive alert factories to proactive threat hunters,” Qevlar AI co-founder and CEO Ahmed Achchak said.
