**[AI Security Company Hadrian Secures $40 Million in Funding, Co-Led by SmartFin and Others]** Odaily Planet Daily News: AI security platform Hadrian has announced the completion of a $40 million funding round, co-led by Forgepoint Capital International and SmartFin, with participation from existing investors HV Capital, Motive Partners, Picus Capital, and Oetker Ventures. Following this round, Hadrian's total funding has reached $65 million. The funds will be used to expand into the European and American markets, grow its engineering and research teams, and further develop its AI-driven cybersecurity platform. Hadrian stated that as AI technology rapidly evolves, cyberattack methods are changing, with attackers beginning to leverage AI agents to automate attack processes. Meanwhile, many enterprise security teams still rely on manual penetration testing. The company cited data showing that 87% of organizations currently use manual penetration testing, and over 70% of security teams struggle to determine whether vulnerabilities can actually be exploited. By combining Continuous Exposure Management and AI agent-driven penetration testing, Hadrian simulates an attacker's perspective to help enterprises identify external attack surfaces, validate real risks, and optimize remediation priorities.
