The Series A deal also included the participation of Blackstone Innovations Investments, Greylock, CRV and Spark. They were joined by the investors who backed 7AI's $36 million seed raise last June. Boston-based 7AI offers a cybersecurity platform that uses artificial intelligence agents to detect and remediate breaches. The platform comprises more than 40 agents that each focus on a different set of tasks. Some search for vulnerabilities and malicious activity, while others perform auxiliary activities such as collecting technical data about a potentially compromised device. The platform gathers cybersecurity data through integrations with companies' existing breach detection tools. Usually, analyzing breach telemetry requires administrators to copy the information to a centralized environment, which increases storage costs. According to 7AI, its platform removes that…...
