Cybersecurity provider Tidal Cyber on Wednesday announced raising $10 million in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $15 million.
Founded in 2022 by three former MITRE experts, the Washington, DC-based Tidal Cyber has built a threat-informed defense platform that automates detection and response.
The company’s cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and adversary behavior-driven platform operationalizes ATT&CK to provide proactive cyber defenses.
Tidal Cyber maps TTPs and procedural-level insights to MITRE ATT&CK, to tailor security strategies around adversary groups and their behavior, for threat-led defenses.
The startup also built a Procedures library that captures the actions adversaries perform when executing attacks against real-world environments, providing actionable details needed to optimize defenses.
Additionally, Tidal Cyber calculates residual risks for each adversarial technique, to highlight exposures, and calculates the effectiveness of an organization’s security stack against real-world attack behavior.
The cybersecurity startup will use the fresh investment to accelerate product innovation and fuel growth.
“We see strong traction and a need for threat-led defense as more organizations move beyond assumptions, CVE-counting, and checkbox compliance. Tidal Cyber flips the security model putting real adversary behavior at the center of defense to enable a proactive, continuous, threat-led defense,” Tidal Cyber CEO Rick Gordon said.
The investment round was led by Bright Pixel Capital, with additional support from previous investors, which include Capital One, Squadra, Task Force X, Ultratech, USAA, and Veteran Ventures.
