Hadrian Raises $40M for AI Security Agents

Dutch offensive security startup Hadrian Security has raised $40 million to expand internationally. Its platform uses AI agents to continuously scan internet-facing systems and identify exploitable weaknesses. Two products, Atlas and Nova, handle continuous attack surface monitoring and on-demand penetration testing respectively, sharing context so teams can escalate findings without starting over. Hadrian claims 87% of organizations still rely on manual penetration tests and only 0.47% of scanner findings are truly exploitable. Customers include McKesson, NBCUniversal, and TotalEnergies. Total investor funding now stands at $65 million.
