Cybersecurity startup Reach Security has received $10 million in strategic funding, which brings the total raised by the company to $30 million.
The investment round, led by M12, with additional support from Artisanal Ventures and other previous investors, was complemented by the launch of ConfigIQ Drift, a virtual assistant that helps organizations define and detect drift across SaaS and on-premise environments.
Founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, Reach Security leverages AI to enable organizations to manage their security tools and products.
According to the company, its approach to exposure management falls in line with the latest trends of using virtual assistants to drive security and automation in drift detection, policy enforcement, and remediation.
The new ConfigIQ Drift module allows customers to write their own deviation detection rules, defining baselines and configurations specifying what needs to be monitored across their environments, from a single, unified solution.
Reach Security says it can help organizations make progress in zero trust (across endpoint, email, identity, and network controls), in mapping controls to configurations and real-time deviation detection, and in unlocking the full value of Microsoft 365 through visibility, drift monitoring, and ongoing validation and insights.
The startup is also working on Asset Intelligence, a new product designed to provide continuous insight into the control coverage, posture history, and security relevance of identities, devices, and workflows.
“This partnership with M12 validates our belief that the next generation of cyber defense will be AI-powered, assistant-driven, plus deeply operational and focused on creating leverage for companies and their security tools. We’re building the infrastructure for that future today,” Reach Security CEO and co-founder Garrett Hamilton said.
