Dutch cybersecurity startup Gambit Cyber has announced raising $3.4 million in a seed funding round led by Expeditions, with participation from Bitdefender Voyager Ventures.
Founded in 2024, Leiden, Netherlands-based Gambit Cyber has built an AI-native preemptive threat exposure management (CTEM) platform that helps organizations identify and prevent cyber risks.
Called KnightGuard, the solution relies on AI agents to provide a real-time view of the organization’s security posture.
It integrates with existing security solutions to constantly look for vulnerabilities, and to validate, prioritize, and address them.
The AI agents provide CTI analysis, SOC automation, and ITOps playbook generation, enabling organizations to build a structured CTEM program and reduce detection and remediation time.
According to Gambit Cyber, KnightGuard allows security teams to focus on issues that matter the most by validating the weaknesses that are exploitable.
The startup will use the new funding to expand its engineering team, add more AI agents, and accelerate expansion across Europe, the UAE, and Asia-Pacific.
Gambit Cyber says its platform is already used by enterprises and MSSPs in the financial services, telecoms, and critical infrastructure sectors.
The fresh investment will also help it further build strategic partnerships with MSSPs, telecommunication services providers, and cloud platforms.
“This investment validates our mission to reinvent how organizations understand and respond to cyber risks and become future-ready. KnightGuard was built from the ground up to be AI-native, risk-centric, and preemptive,” Gambit Cyber’s co-founders Anuj and Manuj Kumar said.
