Previously bootstrapped cybersecurity startup Quantro Security on Tuesday emerged from stealth mode with $2.5 million in seed funding from Google’s early-stage AI fund Gradient.
Founded in 2025 by veterans of CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Qualys, New York-based Quantro has built VM.Analyst, an AI agent that harvests data from multiple sources to provide actionable intelligence.
The solution integrates with an organization’s existing cybersecurity stack, ingests data from CMDBs, cloud services, firewalls, and vulnerability management platforms, normalizes it, and delivers intelligence to reduce risks.
The agent analyzes the organization’s risk landscape based on context and security controls and configurations, providing recommendations on addressing identified risks while keeping humans in the loop.
Security teams can interact with the AI agent to stay informed or can delegate tasks, using natural-language prompts to maintain compliance, reduce risks, or remediate issues.
Quantro says it relies on data governance measures aligned with industry standards, that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, that no customer data is used to train its AI model, and that strict regional data residency is enforced.
The seed funding boosted the startup’s valuation to $25 million and came after the company signed customers.
“Quantro Security’s VM.Analyst modernizes vulnerability management with a purpose-built AI platform that addresses traditional challenges facing security operations teams. The outcome is deep analysis and prioritization that goes beyond human capabilities alone,” said Forvis Mazars principal Ben Doane.
