Augur, a cybersecurity company specialising in AI-powered threat prevention, has raised $7m in seed funding to expand its predictive platform and accelerate growth.
The round was led by General Advance and backed by prominent industry figures including Ely Kahn of SentinelOne, Spencer Thompson of Prelude, Travis McPeak of Resourcely, Josh Lospinoso of Shift5, and executives from Amazon, Google, and Cloudflare.
Augur’s platform uses AI to track internet activity and map attack infrastructure months before cybercriminals weaponise it. By detecting malicious setups early, the company helps organisations act proactively rather than reactively.
The funding will support Augur’s technology development and drive its expansion into new markets. It follows the company’s recent rebrand from SecLytics, signalling a new phase of growth.
Augur is already used by major financial, energy, healthcare and critical infrastructure organisations to block threats well ahead of traditional systems.
Augur CEO Joe Lea said, “Adversaries are weaponizing AI to accelerate attacks, and security teams need AI-driven solutions that enhance their speed and accuracy to keep up.
“Our platform has refined a decade of machine learning, behavioral research, and real-world threat telemetry into a continuously evolving knowledge base of adversary behavior. This comprehensive dataset empowers Augur to predict, detect, and disrupt threats with unparalleled accuracy.”
