By SecurityWeek News | March 17, 2026 (10:21 AM ET) Flipboard Reddit Whatsapp Whatsapp Email Agentic operations platform Surf AI on Tuesday announced its launch alongside $57 million in funding to help enterprises operationalize their security programs. The funding round was led by Accel and includes investors Cyberstarts and Boldstart Ventures. The investment will be used for product development and hiring. Based in New York, the startup provides an agentic platform designed to connect business context with data that is often fragmented across various organizational systems. The solution ingests signals from identity, security, cloud, data, HR, and IT tools to construct a context graph that maps assets, owners, permissions, and dependencies. The Surf AI platform is designed to prioritize risks based on business impact and coordinate remediation through goal-oriented workflows. It utilizes specialized AI agents to drive execution while maintaining human oversight and auditability throughout the process. By preserving context as work progresses, the system aims to allow security teams to act continuously without the need for repeated handoffs or manual rework. “Proactive security hygiene is exactly what we’re encouraging, and our platform is designed to continuously find and close the exposure gaps that teams have always known about but didn’t have the time or resources to address,” said Yair Grindlinger, CEO and co-founder of Surf AI. “Surf AI connects the context, drives the remediation, and keeps your team in control at every step.” Advertisement.
