Andesite, a Mclean, VA-based cybersecurity company developing a human-AI collaboration product empowering cyber defense teams, raised additional $23M in funding.
Backers in the round included General Catalyst and Red Cell Partners, bringing the total amount to $38.25M.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate product development and scale its go-to-market initiatives.
Led by CEO Brian Carbaugh, Andesite is delivering sustained advantage to cyber defense teams through technology and community. Its bionic SOC is an advancement in human-AI collaboration for cybersecurity that elevates human insights and enables SOC teams to shift from reactively triaging alerts to proactively hunting threats in their networks. By connecting data silos, platforms, and tools across a SOC’s ecosystem, it delivers analysts the context and visibility they need to make informed decisions, in an actionable output. This accelerates investigations and transforms security outcomes by empowering those who protect others to more effectively safeguard their organizations’ assets, people, and customers.
Key product features include:
- Context-aware AI, which unifies scattered data across organizational silos, delivering actionable insights to analysts
- Evidentiary AI, which ensures complete visibility and auditability of machine-assisted decisions – no black boxes
- Adaptive automation, which streamlines workflows from threat intelligence to automated response, optimizing security operations
- Safe AI architecture, which gives teams confidence that sensitive data stays within predefined boundaries and isn’t used to train external AI models
- Built-in enterprise-ready compliance, which aligned with SOC 2 Type 1, NIST 800-53 (High), and NIST CSF requirements, which enables smooth deployment in regulated environments
