What if your company’s next cybersecurity expert wasn’t human at all? That’s exactly what Saket Modi, the high-energy founder of SAFE Security, is betting on — and he just convinced some of the world’s top investors to back him with a staggering $70 million.
In a blockbuster Series C funding round, SAFE Security claims it’s on the verge of building CyberAGI — an Artificial General Intelligence for cybersecurity, capable of thinking, learning, and defending your company from digital threats without human input.
Yes, you read that right. Not just AI — autonomous, reasoning AI that could make your entire security team look outdated.
$70 Million to Build the Future of Cyber Defense
Led by Avataar Ventures, and backed by big names like Susquehanna Asia Venture Capital, NextEquity Partners, and Prosperity7 Ventures, this round also saw returning support from industry heavyweights like Eight Roads, Sorenson Capital, and even John Chambers, former CEO of Cisco.
SAFE isn’t playing small. With this funding, the company says it’s preparing to:
- Scale globally across the U.S., Europe, and Asia
- Develop advanced Agentic AI reasoning models
- Launch a fully autonomous threat detection and response system
In short: SAFE wants to replace reactive cybersecurity with predictive, self-acting machines.
What Is CyberAGI — And Why Should You Care?
Forget traditional firewalls or antivirus software. CyberAGI stands for Cyber Artificial General Intelligence — a system that doesn’t just analyze threats, but understands context, plans responses, and acts automatically.
According to Saket Modi, “Threat actors are already using automation and AI to attack us. We’re building something that can outthink them — in real time, without waiting for human input.”
Let that sink in. SAFE is building the first-ever cyber defense that doesn’t sleep, doesn’t blink, and doesn’t need a SOC analyst telling it what to do.
The Platform That Thinks for Itself
Along with the funding, SAFE also announced a huge upgrade to its Cyber Risk Singularity platform, introducing what it calls the world’s first fully autonomous Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) tool.
Translated? It means the platform:
- Monitors your environment 24/7
- Spots threats before they happen
- Knows what to fix, and when, based on your business risks
- Takes action — automatically
And that’s not all. SAFE is already transforming Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) by eliminating the manual madness of vendor questionnaires. Its AI scans your entire supply chain, rates risk exposure in real time, and even executes mitigation steps without needing anyone to lift a finger.
Why Investors Are Flocking to SAFE
When seasoned investors like John Chambers — who helped turn Cisco into a $200B behemoth — are putting their name behind a company, the industry takes notice.
This isn’t just about cybersecurity. It’s about changing the game entirely. SAFE’s Agentic AI could one day be the command center for enterprise security, deciding how to react faster and better than any human could.
In a world where cyberattacks are constant, global, and increasingly AI-driven, companies that don’t evolve might just get left behind.
So… Is SAFE Security the Future of Cyber Defense?
All signs point to yes. With its growing client base, a powerhouse team, and fresh capital, SAFE is preparing for a world where AI won’t just support your security team — it might replace it.
Still think this sounds like science fiction? You probably thought the same about self-driving cars, too.
Bottom line?
Swiggy delivers food. Zomato competes.
But SAFE Security just delivered the future — and it’s hungry for hackers.
