Cybersecurity Funding Hackuity Raises $19 Million for AI-Powered Vulnerability Management The company will use the new capital to expand its vulnerability operations platform and support international growth. By SecurityWeek News | September 16, 2026 (7:11 AM ET) Flipboard Reddit Whatsapp Whatsapp Email Vulnerability management company Hackuity has raised $19 million in a funding round led by Forgepoint Capital, bringing its total funding to $38 million. The Lyon, France-based company plans to use the investment to accelerate development of its vulnerability operations platform, strengthen its artificial intelligence capabilities, and support expansion across Europe and Asia. Hackuity’s platform aggregates and normalizes vulnerability and asset data from more than 130 security products, adding threat intelligence and business context to help organizations determine which security flaws pose the greatest risk. Its scoring engine considers factors such as vulnerability severity and exploitability, asset criticality, threat activity, and potential business impact. The platform can then coordinate remediation work across security, IT, cloud, and engineering teams. The company positions its technology as a response to the growing volume of vulnerabilities and security findings generated by scanners, cloud security products, application security tools, penetration tests, and, increasingly, AI systems. Hackuity CEO and co-founder Patrick Ragaru said the company was founded on the belief that vulnerability volumes would eventually outpace organizations’ ability to manage them manually. The latest generation of AI-powered security models, he argued, is accelerating that shift and increasing the need for automated prioritization and remediation orchestration. “ Mythos simply validates that thesis, by making the scale of the tsunami impossible to ignore,” he said.

Existing investors Bright Pixel Capital, Bpifrance, and Seventure Partners also participated in the round, according to the company’s announcement . Related : Is Patching Dead?
