Hackuity Raises $19 Million to Help Companies Stop Drowning in Security Warnings
A French cybersecurity firm wants to solve a problem every large organisation quietly has: too many security alerts, too few people to sort through them.
Key points
- Hackuity raised $19 million in a round led by Forgepoint Capital, bringing total funding to $38 million.
- The Lyon, France-based company was founded in 2018 and previously raised roughly $13 million in a 2022 Series A round.
- Hackuity's platform pulls data from more than 130 security products to help teams decide which flaws to fix first.
- Existing investors Bright Pixel Capital, Bpifrance and Seventure Partners all joined the new round.
Most companies run dozens of security scanning tools. Each one produces a list of problems. The lists pile up, nobody agrees on what to fix first, and genuinely dangerous gaps sit unpatched while the team debates spreadsheets. Hackuity's pitch: let a single platform aggregate all of that noise, then rank what actually matters.
What does Hackuity actually do?
The platform pulls in vulnerability data, meaning reports of security flaws, from more than 130 different security products and normalises it into a common format. It then scores each flaw by weighing severity, exploitability, how critical the affected system is to the business, and what real-world attackers are currently doing with similar flaws.
The output is a prioritised to-do list. Security teams and cloud engineers get clear remediation tasks rather than competing spreadsheets.
Why is this getting funded now?
Modern organisations run cloud services and custom applications alongside traditional software, and every layer generates its own security findings. Hackuity CEO and co-founder Patrick Ragaru said the company was founded on the belief that vulnerability volumes would eventually outpace what humans could manage by hand. AI-powered tools that scan code at machine speed, he argued, are accelerating that shift.
The $19 million round was led by Forgepoint Capital, with existing backers Bright Pixel Capital (formerly Sonae IM), Bpifrance and Seventure Partners also participating, according to the company's announcement first reported by SecurityWeek.
| Milestone | Detail |
|---|---|
| Founded | 2018, Lyon, France |
| Series A (2022) | ~$13 million, led by Sonae IM (now Bright Pixel Capital) |
| New round (2025) | $19 million, led by Forgepoint Capital |
| Total funding | $38 million |
| Integrations | 130+ security products |
Hackuity plans to use the money to expand across Europe and Asia, build out its AI features, and develop its vulnerability operations platform further. It's the third cybersecurity funding story we've reported in the past two weeks, following HiddenLayer's $100 million raise on 3 September and Cylake's $290 million round on 8 September.
Prioritisation is a solved problem on paper and a mess in practice. Every vendor claims their scoring engine cuts through the noise; the real test is whether security teams actually close tickets faster. Funding buys runway, not proof.
Should ordinary employees care about this?
Not directly. This is infrastructure that large organisations buy. But when a company patches its systems faster, the people whose data those systems hold, customers, patients, staff, benefit from fewer breaches.
If you manage IT for a small or mid-sized business, the broader lesson is worth heeding. Scanner output left unread is worthless. Even a simple, consistent weekly process for reviewing and ranking alerts beats a backlog nobody touches.
