Cybersecurity startup Nullify has announced a new funding round aimed at strengthening its approach to vulnerability management through automation and artificial intelligence. As part of the latest Nullify funding, the company raised $12.5 million in seed funding to further develop and scale its AI workforce that supports product security teams. The round was led by SYN Ventures, with continued participation from Black Nova Venture Capital.
With this latest raise, Nullify’s total funding now stands at $16.9 million. The company said the new capital will be used to expand its engineering and research teams, support international growth plans, and scale its commercial operations as demand increases for automated security capabilities.
Focus On Automated Vulnerability Management
Nullify is focused on addressing a growing challenge faced by many organizations. Security teams are often required to manage large volumes of vulnerabilities across complex systems while operating with limited staff and resources. Backed by recent Nullify funding, the company has built an AI-driven system designed to act as an autonomous workforce for vulnerability management tasks.
The platform is designed to handle several stages of the vulnerability lifecycle. These include identifying potential security weaknesses, reviewing and validating findings, prioritizing risks, and supporting remediation efforts. By automating these processes, the platform aims to reduce the amount of manual effort required from security professionals and shorten response times.
At the core of the system is a component known as Vault. This component acts as a long-term memory layer that collects and stores organizational security knowledge. Vault integrates with code repositories, cloud environments, ticketing platforms, and internal documentation. By absorbing contextual information from these systems, the platform builds a deeper understanding of how an organization’s infrastructure and applications operate, a capability further strengthened through Nullify funding.
Using this information, the AI generates hypotheses about how vulnerabilities could be exploited, tests those scenarios in controlled environments, and evaluates the potential impact. Risks are then scored based on exploitability and severity, and suggested fixes are generated to support remediation workflows.
Addressing Talent Gaps And Scale Challenges
The company positions its platform as a response to ongoing talent shortages in cybersecurity. Many organizations struggle to hire and retain skilled security professionals while facing an expanding attack surface and increasing threat activity. Automated systems supported by Nullify funding that can operate continuously and at scale are becoming more relevant as a result.
Nullify said its platform is designed to support organizations at different stages of security maturity. This includes teams with established security programs as well as those with limited or no dedicated product security staff. By consolidating multiple security functions into a single system, the platform aims to reduce reliance on fragmented tools and manual processes.
The startup is headquartered in San Francisco and primarily targets SaaS providers and growing enterprises. These organizations often operate in fast-moving development environments where rapid code changes can introduce new risks. Automating vulnerability workflows can help such teams maintain visibility and control without slowing down development cycles.
As part of its growth plans, Nullify said it will continue to invest in research to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its AI models. The company also plans to expand its presence beyond its current markets, responding to global demand for scalable cybersecurity solutions.
The Nullify funding announcement reflects continued investor interest in security platforms that apply artificial intelligence to core operational challenges. As vulnerability volumes rise and attack methods evolve, automation is becoming a central part of how organizations manage cyber risk. Nullify’s latest round signals confidence in this approach as the company works to expand its reach and capabilities.
