Cogent Security Launches Autonomous AI Agents to Transform Vulnerability Management

Cogent Security: Rethinking Vulnerability Management with Autonomous AI

Attackers are exploiting software vulnerabilities faster than ever, leaving security teams overwhelmed and enterprises at risk. Traditional vulnerability management struggles to keep up with the sheer volume of threats and the speed at which they emerge. Cogent Security addresses this challenge by introducing autonomous AI agents that think, analyze, and act like expert human security professionals—without constant human supervision.

Backed by an $11M Series Seed round led by Greylock Partners, Cogent Security offers an AI-driven platform that manages the entire vulnerability lifecycle. From identifying threats and prioritizing critical risks to executing remediation, Cogent’s AI taskforce operates continuously, reducing the workload on human teams while accelerating response times.

Why Traditional Solutions Fall Short

Last year alone, over 45,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) were published, creating an overwhelming flood of alerts that traditional tools struggle to contextualize or prioritize effectively. Many solutions generate noisy alerts without clear guidance, causing security teams to chase false positives or miss critical risks.

Cogent’s platform uses agentic AI to analyze vulnerabilities proactively, distinguishing real threats from background noise. Its AI agents work around the clock, remediating vulnerabilities twice as fast and cutting vulnerability management efforts in half. This enables enterprises to secure millions of assets efficiently, even in complex environments.

The Team Behind Cogent Security

The founding team combines deep expertise in AI, security, and infrastructure. CEO Vineet Edupuganti and CTO Geng Sng played key roles in scaling Abnormal AI, growing it into a market leader. VP of Engineering Thanos Baskous brings experience leading infrastructure and security at Coinbase and Blackstone.

Since its launch, Cogent has attracted top talent from Google, Stripe, Tesla, and other industry leaders, building a strong foundation to deliver on its vision.
