AI security platform Hadrian has raised $40 million in a new funding round led jointly by Forgepoint Capital International and SmartFin, with participation from existing investors including HV Capital, Motive Partners, Picus Capital, and Oetker Ventures. The company said the new round brings its total funding to $65 million. Hadrian plans to use the capital to expand across Europe and the U.S., grow its engineering and research teams, and continue building its AI-driven cybersecurity platform. Hadrian said cyberattack methods are changing quickly as AI develops, with attackers beginning to use AI agents to automate attack workflows while many enterprise security teams still rely on manual penetration testing. Citing its own data, the company said 87% of organizations still use manual penetration testing, and more than 70% of security teams struggle to determine whether a vulnerability is actually exploitable. Hadrian said its platform combines Continuous Exposure Management with AI agent-based penetration testing to simulate an attacker’s perspective, helping enterprises identify external attack surfaces, validate real risk, and prioritize remediation.
