Cyberthreat intelligence provider VulnCheck Inc. today announced that it has raised $12 million in new funding to fuel international expansion and accelerate growth by enhancing its exploit intelligence platform and scaling go-to-market initiatives.

Founded in 2021, VulnCheck provides organizations with real-time exploit and vulnerability intelligence to predict potential attack vectors accurately. The company’s platform autonomously collects data from nearly 500 channels, refreshing every eight hours and ensuring up-to-date information on vulnerabilities.

The company’s exploit and vulnerability intelligence services replace the need to manually correlate data from multiple sources, offering comprehensive insights into vulnerability exploitation. The integration of exploit intelligence with vulnerability data enables organizations to prioritize remediation efforts effectively.

VulnCheck’s platform also offers Initial Access Intelligence, focusing on high-impact exploits that allow unauthorized access without credentials. The feature assists security teams in identifying and mitigating critical vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

VulnCheck services include NVD++, a community service that provides members with a reliable, high-performance source of National Vulnerability Database 2.0 and 1.0 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure data via an application programming interface or downloadable JSON files.

NVD++ offers Common Platform Enumeration data, which is currently missing from the National Institute of Standards and Technology National Vulnerability Database, to help defenders identify vulnerable assets for newly published Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures in the NVD.

VulnCheck also offers its own known exploited vulnerabilities catalog, a free offering available to security teams and threat detection engineers who join the VulnCheck Community. The VulnCheck KEV catalog, launched in February 2024, provides advanced intelligence on vulnerabilities that have been exploited in the wild to help better manage threats, prioritize risk and outpace adversaries.

The Series A round was led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with existing investors Sorenson Capital Partners LP and In-Q-Tel Inc. also participating.

“As cybersecurity specialist investors, we backed VulnCheck because the current paradigms for threat intelligence and vulnerability management are fundamentally flawed,” said Mark Hatfield, founder and general partner at Ten Eleven Ventures. “They require too much human intervention to distill the information needed to prioritize action. VulnCheck is disrupting these legacy approaches by autonomously collecting and integrating exploit and vulnerability intelligence at scale.”

Including the new funding, Vulncheck has raised $19.75 million to date. It previously raised funding in April 2024.
