BitPatrol
BitPatrol is an AI-powered code security company that scans source code on every commit to catch exposed secrets - API keys, database passwords, and auth tokens - the moment they are pushed. Founded by former Stripe engineer and top-2% HackerOne researcher Christopher Lambert, it replaces legacy regex scanners with a proprietary machine-learning model that reads code context and cross-references billions of public commits to cut false positives. Part of Y Combinator's Spring 2025 (X25) batch, the company was acquired in 2025.
7AI
7AI is a Boston-based cybersecurity company building an agentic security platform that deploys autonomous, reasoning-based AI agents to take over the repetitive investigation work that overwhelms security operations centers. Founded in 2024 by Cybereason co-founders Lior Div and Yonatan Striem-Amit, the company ingests alerts from a customer's existing security tools, triages and investigates them at machine speed, and surfaces only real threats with full context and recommended actions - cutting mean time to respond from hours to minutes and eliminating the bulk of false positives. In December 2025 it raised a $130M Series A, described as the largest cybersecurity Series A on record.
Silent Eight
Silent Eight is a Singapore-headquartered regtech company that builds purpose-built artificial intelligence for financial crime compliance.

Consilient
Consilient is a New York- and Washington, D.C.-based financial technology company that applies federated machine learning to anti-money laundering and financial crime detection. Its models learn from behavioral patterns across multiple banks and share the algorithms - not the underlying customer data - so institutions can collaborate on catching illicit activity while preserving privacy. Founded in 2020 as a joint venture between K2 Integrity and Giant Oak, the company's Dozer platform has demonstrated in bank trials that it can sharply cut false positives while improving true-positive detection.
Dropzone AI
Dropzone AI builds an autonomous AI SOC analyst that investigates 100% of security alerts around the clock, mimicking the reasoning of an expert human analyst across phishing, endpoint, network, cloud, identity, and insider-threat domains. Founded in 2022 by former ExtraHop AI lead Edward Wu, the Seattle company replaces playbook-driven busywork with end-to-end investigations and high-fidelity reports, letting overwhelmed security teams focus on real threats. It has raised $57.35M to date, including a $37M Series B in July 2025.
