Hackuity raises USD $19 million in Forgepoint-led round

Hackuity has raised USD $19 million in a funding round led by Forgepoint Capital International, bringing the French cybersecurity company's total funding to USD $38 million.

Existing investors Bright Pixel, Bpifrance and Seventure Partners also participated.

Hackuity sells software that helps security teams decide which vulnerabilities to fix first. Its platform pulls in data from more than 130 security tools and assigns a risk score based on factors including severity, exploitability, threat intelligence, asset criticality and business impact.

The fundraising comes as companies face a rising volume of identified software weaknesses and growing pressure to address them faster. Hackuity argues that for many organisations, the challenge is no longer finding flaws but organising remediation across security, IT and engineering teams.

It pointed to the growing number of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, which it said has reached 350,000, up 20% year on year. It also cited Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview as an example of how artificial intelligence tools can uncover flaws at a scale internal teams struggle to manage.

According to Hackuity, customers using its platform have reduced critical vulnerability noise to 0.01%, improved mean time to remediate threefold, automated up to 70% of exposure management activities and delivered savings ranging from USD $100,000 to USD $1 million.

More than 6,000 users rely on the platform to protect more than 2 million assets and manage 1 billion findings. Customers include ENGIE, BPCE and Orange Cyberdefense.

Market pressure

Cybersecurity groups have long used automated tools to scan networks, applications and devices for weaknesses. But the sharp rise in alerts and findings has created an operational challenge, forcing teams to assess which issues pose the greatest immediate risk and assign remediation work to the right parts of the business.

That pressure is becoming more acute as attackers move quickly to exploit disclosed flaws. The spread of AI-based discovery tools is also expected to increase the volume of vulnerabilities identified across corporate systems and software estates.

Patrick Ragaru, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Hackuity, linked the funding round to that market shift.

"Hackuity was founded on a simple conviction: the volume of vulnerabilities would outpace any human's capacity to respond. Mythos simply validates that thesis by making the scale of the tsunami impossible to ignore. Having Forgepoint, a globally recognized cybersecurity investor with unmatched sector expertise and a truly global network, lead this round is a strong signal that the market agrees. What we built before the wave arrived is exactly what enterprises need now that it's here: an agentic platform that automates prioritization and drives remediation at machine speed," said Patrick Ragaru, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Hackuity.

Forgepoint Capital International said the deal reflects a broader change in cybersecurity operations, as companies reassess older approaches to vulnerability management.

"Cybersecurity has entered a new era where AI is accelerating both attack and defense. Organisations can no longer rely on traditional vulnerability management approaches to keep pace with the speed and scale of modern threats. Hackuity is building the operational platform enterprises need to transform overwhelming amounts of security data into clear, actionable decisions. Patrick and the team have combined deep cybersecurity expertise with a bold product vision, making Hackuity exactly the kind of category-defining company we look to support," said Henault.

Customer use

Hackuity said its software is already in use at large organisations managing vulnerability data across complex operations. ENGIE is among those customers.

"The challenge isn't discovering vulnerabilities anymore but understanding which ones matter most and getting the right teams aligned to fix them before attackers can act. Hackuity gives us the operational clarity to prioritize, coordinate and accelerate remediation across our global organization," said Abdelmoumen.

Hackuity also works with managed security service providers and other channel partners that incorporate its software into broader cybersecurity services. Orange Cyberdefense is one of those partners.

"Hackuity helps companies reduce their attack surface by transforming the complexity of vulnerabilities into clear priorities, allowing teams to focus on the risks that really matter. We've selected Hackuity for our Exposure Management portfolio and combined its expertise with ours to deliver a best-in-class value proposition to customers, bringing together advanced vulnerability prioritization and deep cybersecurity expertise to turn risk into actionable outcomes," said Demonceaux.

Hackuity is headquartered in Lyon and operates across Europe, Singapore and the Middle East. The fresh capital will support further product development and international growth across Europe and Asia.
