Safe Security Raises $70M to Build Autonomous Cyber‑AGI Platform (India)

Cybersecurity startup Safe Security (backed by IIM‑Bombay) has secured a $70 million funding round led by Avataar Ventures, with participation from Susquehanna Asia Venture Capital and previous investors including Eight Roads, John Chambers, and Sorenson Capital. This latest raise brings Safe’s total funding to $170 million.

The company has transitioned from service-led consulting to product‑driven development. Its flagship — a continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) platform — is now a fully autonomous system powered by agentic AI, capable of detecting and mitigating cyber risk in real-time. As part of its next phase, Safe aims to build “CyberAGI”—a human-like, self-learning cybersecurity intelligence that adapts to evolving threats.

Safe’s client base spans enterprise giants including Google, Fidelity, T-Mobile, Chevron, and IHG, highlighting its credibility among critical infrastructure and high-value sectors. The funds will be used to accelerate development of its autonomous systems, expand global reach, and scale enterprise deployment across risk quantification, third-party risk, and threat orchestration. Safe’s evolution reflects a broader industry pivot: security firms are now embedding AI at the core of real-time protection rather than offering retrospective analysis.
