Cogent Security
Autonomous AI agents that detect and fix vulnerabilities faster than attackers exploit them.
About
Cogent Security builds autonomous AI agents for vulnerability management, backed by $53M including a $42M Series A led by Bain Capital Ventures (Feb 2026). Its agents ingest findings from existing VM tools, ticketing and communication systems, determine asset ownership, assess real-world risk, and generate remediation guidance with configurable approval gates so teams choose how autonomous each fix is. The company also trains its own frontier reasoning model, VR-1, and recently shipped Attack Path Analysis that reasons about environments the way an attacker would. It also offers Cogent Community, a free AI tool for vulnerability intelligence built with VulnCheck. The 97% exposure-window reduction figure is company-reported, not independently audited.
