CloudSEK, a predictive cybersecurity startup, has raised $19 million across its Series A2 and B1 funding rounds from MassMutual Ventures, Inflexor Ventures, Prana Ventures, Tenacity Ventures, and Commvault, per an announcement.
Existing investors, including the Meeran Family, StartupXSeed, Neon Fund, and Exfinity Ventures, also participated in the financing, the company said in a statement.
The funding proceeds will be used to further develop the company’s technology, particularly its AI models and platform integrations, drive global innovation, and scale operations globally, with a specific focus on the US.
“We built CloudSEK to predict initial attack vectors and stop threats before they make headlines—our goal has always been to prevent incidents before they escalate,” said Rahul Sasi, co-founder and CEO of CloudSEK. “Unlike conventional threat intelligence, which often focuses on indicators of compromise after an attack, our platform identifies early warning signs—such as leaked credentials, exposed APIs, or compromised vendors—weeks before an incident occurs. That’s what we call predictive, not forensic, intelligence.”
“Today, over 60% of our net new revenue comes from international markets, with the US emerging as our fastest-growing region. We’ve achieved this scale while staying cashflow positive,” Sasi added.
Founded in 2015 by cybersecurity researcher Rahul Sasi, CloudSEK offers AI-based threat intelligence tools designed to proactively detect signs of cyber threats before they escalate. The company claims to have grown 3x in ARR over the last 24 months.
CloudSEK said it will soon be announcing Series B2 as an extension of B1, both to onboard new investors and to facilitate partial exits for some of our early backers.
