Israeli startup Tonic Security has emerged from stealth mode this week with $7 million in seed funding to help security teams cut through the complexity of exposure and vulnerability management.
The new investment round was led by Hetz Ventures, with additional support from Vesey Ventures and various angel investors.
Founded by Sygnia alums and experienced cybersecurity executives, Tonic Security has built an Agentic Exposure Management platform designed to clear the noise created by floods of alerts and tell security teams where to fix and why.
Tonic leverages domain-specific AI agents to ingest and contextualize data from threat intelligence and various sources within an organization, including email, documents, and support tickets.
By understanding dependencies, likelihood of exploitation, potential business impact, and remediation feasibility, Tonic’s platform helps prioritize patching and mitigate exposure fast.
According to the startup, its solution can help decrease mean time to remediate (MTTR) by 50% for critical issues, reduce exposures requiring remediation by 90%, and reduce the time employees spend on triaging.
“As a CISO, incident responder and trusted advisor to many Fortune 500 companies, I witnessed first-hand how most security breaches could’ve been prevented in hindsight. They were often the direct result of a known exposure that was mis-prioritized and then exploited by the threat actors before being fixed by the defenders,” Tonic co-founder and CEO Sharon Isaaci said.
“Tonic is addressing the root cause of the problem, by introducing the first context-driven Exposure Management Platform that eliminates the cacophony caused by dozens of disparate tools, and provides the clarity, focus and business context security teams need to proactively protect their organizations,” Isaaci added.
