Cybersecurity startup Sola Security Ltd. today announced the launch of Lumina, an autonomous risk intelligence platform that applies contextual artificial intelligence across cloud, identity, software-as-a-service and endpoint environments to deliver prioritized security signals instead of raw alerts.
The company is pitching Lumina as an answer to one of the most persistent problems in enterprise security: too many tools producing too much noise. The average enterprise runs 83 cybersecurity tools, according to a report from IBM Corp., leaving analysts to triage findings that often lack business context or reasoning behind their severity ratings.
Lumina, which Sola also calls Lumina Signals, sits across the security stack and transforms raw data inputs into what the company describes as a curated, decision-ready feed. Each signal is enriched with reasoning, asset context, potential impact and recommended actions. The idea is that rather than reacting to alerts, security operations teams, engineers, governance and risk professionals and analysts receive a daily stream of contextualized findings already ranked against their environment.
The platform uses bi-directional severity scoring, meaning it can both elevate findings that matter more in a given environment and suppress those that matter less. A high-rated common vulnerability and exposure on an isolated test machine is treated differently than the same CVE on a production identity provider. Asset criticality, data sensitivity and past decisions feed continuously into the scoring model.
Lumina also performs blast radius mapping, directing engineers to the exposures with the highest potential damage and pattern clustering, which compresses large volumes of findings into a smaller number of meaningful signals.
According to Sola, customers already using the platform are seeing up to an 87% reduction in operational noise, 50% faster time-to-context and 20% of analyst capacity freed for strategic work. The company says Lumina compresses 99.98% of raw data into actionable signals.
“Security teams don’t lack alerts. They lack an intelligence layer that knows their environment, including risk tolerance, asset prioritization and history, well enough to tell them which findings actually matter,” said co-founder and Chief Executive Guy Flechter. “Lumina Signals closes this critical gap.”
Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Ron Peled said the differentiation is in how the platform weights context. “Most platforms score against an industry baseline without accounting for specific context,” he said. “We move scores in both directions, so a 9.8 CVE on an isolated test system is not the same risk as a 9.8 CVE on a high-value identity provider.”
Lumina is built on Sola’s broader intelligence layer, which unifies cloud, identity, SaaS and endpoint systems into a single asset graph.
Sola Security is a venture capital-backed startup that has raised approximately $65 million, including a round of $35 million in September. Investors in the company include S32, Microsoft’s M12 venture fund, New Era Capital GP Ltd., Sequoia Capital Chair Michael Moritz, S Capital and Glilot Capital Partners.
