Agentic platform that continuously finds and closes gaps in the security tools you already own
Last verified August 15, 2026 · Updated daily
What Discern Security is building
Discern Security tackles a real waste problem. Per CEO Sai Venkataraman: 'Our data shows that customers use less than 25% of the features of the security products they buy. With our agentic loops, we can at least double tool utilization for our customers.' Its platform, the 'Discern Security Loop,' is an AI-native workspace that unifies data across an organization's environment, then uses reusable 'AI Skills,' intelligent agents, and human-approved workflows to find control gaps, prioritize remediation by business context, and coordinate action across security, IT, and compliance. It connects findings to assets, controls, and compliance frameworks (including MITRE ATT&CK) and gives leaders measurable evidence of posture improvement over time.
Why this matters
Forgepoint Capital is a dedicated cybersecurity fund, so leading this round is category-insider validation. The timing fits the moment: security teams are drowning in alerts and tools, and buyers want AI that augments teams rather than replacing them. Founder Sai Venkataraman is a repeat cybersecurity founder — his last company, SecurityAdvisor, was acquired by KnowBe4.
