Qevlar AI, the pioneering force behind a new class of autonomous security operations centres (SOCs), today announces it has secured an additional $10 million in funding, bringing total investor commitments to $14 million. Funding will be used to accelerate the company’s mission to advance the productivity of SOC teams by empowering them to effectively prioritise and respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

The latest round was led by EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital International and includes strategic participation from tech luminaries Olivier Pomel (CEO, Datadog), Florian Douetteau (CEO, Dataiku), and Mehdi Ghissassi (ex-Director of Product, Google DeepMind)—a powerful endorsement of Qevlar AI's revolutionary approach to security operations. As part of this funding round, Forgepoint Capital International Managing Director Damien Henault will join the company’s Board of Directors.

From Human Limits to Machine Precision

Cyber-attacks continue to increase in severity, frequency, and sophistication; one study named cyber incidents as the top global risk for 2025,¹ while the growing use of AI and generative AI creates new threat vectors. Security efforts are undermined by this rising complexity and an ongoing cyber talent shortage; other research revealed that two-thirds of organisations reported moderate-to-critical skills gaps, with just 14% of respondents confident they have the people and skills needed.

A third study found that security analysts are unable to deal with 67% of the daily alerts they receive, with 83% of these alerts being false positives.³ At a time when many enterprises rely heavily on manual investigation methods, it is unsurprising that security teams are overwhelmed by this workload.
