Cogent Security, Inc.

Based in the US, Cogent Security, Inc. is a cybersecurity firm specializing in AI-driven vulnerability management solutions to help organizations effectively mitigate cyber threats and streamline their security operations. Founded in 2024 by CEO Vineet Edupuganti, CTO Geng Sng, and co-founder Thanos Baskous, and headquartered in Wilmington, US, Cogent Security, Inc. focuses on developing innovative cybersecurity solutions.

In January 2026, Cogent Security, Inc. raised USD 42 million in Series A funding led by Bain Capital, with participation from Greylock Partners and Definition Capital. Cogent Security specializes in an AI-driven vulnerability management platform designed to enhance security operations for organizations facing an increasing number of cyber threats. Their primary product autonomously manages the vulnerability management lifecycle, significantly reducing manual intervention by up to 50% while accelerating remediation times by 2x.

This solution effectively identifies system ownership, generates executive-level security dashboards, and manages risk exceptions, addressing critical unresolved vulnerabilities. The platform targets various industries, particularly finance and healthcare, and serves a diverse client base, including large enterprises such as Upwind and Alteryx, with a primary market presence in North America and Europe. Cogent Security generates revenue through a subscription-based model, offering clients access to their comprehensive vulnerability management platform. Clients typically enter into contracts that provide ongoing access to the software, with terms designed to accommodate different organizational sizes and security needs.

The pricing structure is tiered to reflect the breadth of services provided, including advanced features such as automated remediation orchestration and detailed compliance reporting, allowing customers to tailor their subscription to specific operational requirements. The company will use the January 2026 funding to support product development, hiring, enterprise deployment, and global expansion.
