Tuskira's AI-Powered Threat Defense Transform Cybersecurity

San Francisco-based Tuskira, a startup providing AI-powered threat defense, has officially launched from stealth mode, backed by $28.5 million in funding to transform cybersecurity by addressing vulnerabilities, accelerating remediation, mitigating cyber threats, and unifying fragmented security tools into a cohesive defense system.

The funding round, led by Intel Capital and SYN Ventures, attracted significant contributions from Sorenson Capital, Rain Capital, Wipro Ventures, and other industry leaders. This funding highlights the growing need for advanced solutions to address the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.

“By unifying security tools and enhancing controls, Tuskira’s platform positions businesses to stay ahead of attacks. Its solution has the potential to redefine proactive security and meet the demands of today’s evolving threat landscape by delivering insights that drive faster, more strategic decisions,” said Sunil Kurkure, Managing Director at Intel Capital.

Tuskira Pioneering AI-Powered Threat Defense

Tuskira’s AI-powered threat defense platform introduces an advanced security mesh to transform fragmented tools into a unified, intelligent defense system.

Tuskira’s founding team—Piyush Sharma (CEO), Om Moolchandani (CISO and CPO), and Vipul Parmar (CTO)—brings decades of expertise in cybersecurity innovation. Previously, the team co-founded Accurics, a company renowned for its breach path prediction technology, which was later acquired by Tenable. With Tuskira, they aim to elevate the standards of AI-powered threat defense, ensuring organizations remain protected in an era of heightened cyber risks.

“At Tuskira, we are laser-focused on delivering real, measurable improvements to our customers’ defense capabilities. We aren’t just plugging security gaps but predicting and preventing potential attacks. Our AI-powered platform fortifies defenses from within by optimizing the tools you already have, ensuring your organization is always one step ahead of attackers,” said Piyush Sharma, CEO of Tuskira.

This platform revolutionizes cybersecurity by enabling organizations to:

Preempt cyber threats using real-time AI-powered insights, identifying vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
Enhance defense-in-depth by synchronizing over 150 security tools, improving efficiency, and maximizing their return on investment (ROI).
Accelerate remediation efforts, reducing response times from weeks to days, thus minimizing exposure risks.
Continuously optimize defense postures by addressing real-time misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and exposure points.
Streamline security operations, ensuring seamless integration and reducing redundancy across existing security infrastructures.

Responding to the Rising Threat of AI-Enhanced Cyberattacks

AI-enhanced cyberattacks have drastically altered The global threat landscape, which deploy speed and complexity to outmaneuver traditional defenses. As noted by Gartner, concerns over these AI-driven attacks have surged to the top of emerging risk rankings in 2024. Businesses must adopt proactive, rather than reactive, approaches to counter these threats effectively.

Tuskira’s security mesh addresses this challenge head-on by unifying fragmented tools and offering actionable insights to prevent breaches. It ensures organizations stay ahead of attackers, safeguarding their operations and maintaining resilience in the face of increasing cyber threats.

The $28.5 million funding will fuel Tuskira’s plans to expand product capabilities, develop seamless integrations with additional security tools, and enhance patented AI technologies. This investment will also support customer onboarding initiatives, making it easier for organizations worldwide to adopt Tuskira’s innovative solutions.

Delivering Resilience and Measurable ROI

Tuskira’s AI-powered threat defense platform ensures resilience by aggregating data from over 150 security tools. This holistic approach allows organizations to protect their assets, reduce operational redundancies, and derive measurable ROI. The platform transforms cybersecurity investments into long-term safeguards against sophisticated cyber threats by continuously optimizing defense postures.

“With the rise of AI-augmented attacks, traditional reactive remediations and patching are no longer sufficient. Tuskira brings a much-needed shift, focusing on proactive measures that continuously strengthen existing defenses. Their ability to integrate with and enhance current tools, combined with AI-driven outcomes, enables organizations to preempt threats and protect their critical assets more effectively,” said Jay Leek, managing partner at SYN Ventures.
