Furl, a security remediation startup, has announced it secured $10 million in Seed funding led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with participation from Rapid7 CEO Corey Thomas and Open Opportunity Fund. The capital is designated to accelerate product development, expand operating system coverage, and deepen Furl’s remediation capabilities.
The company, founded by veterans from Rapid7, Automox, and Censys, focuses on the execution phase of security workflows, a part where many existing security tools often fall short. Furl aims to bridge the gap between vulnerability detection and resolution, addressing the prevalent issue of growing vulnerability backlogs and unresolved security issues.
Research by Cyentia, commissioned by Cisco, indicates that organizations typically resolve only one out of every ten identified vulnerabilities. Furl’s platform is designed to close this execution gap by ingesting findings from existing security and IT tools, investigating real-world system context on endpoints and servers, and autonomously executing remediation steps with built-in validation. This approach aims to perform the hands-on work of remediation, reducing the burden on both Security and IT teams.
Derek Abdine, CEO and Co-Founder of Furl, stated, “Cybersecurity has become very good at telling teams what’s wrong, but fixing those problems is still painfully manual. Furl applies agentic AI where it actually matters — executing fixes safely, with context — so teams can reduce risk instead of just reporting on it.”Furl integrates with widely used enterprise tools, including Rapid7, Tenable, Qualys, Automox, Action1, and SentinelOne, facilitating remediation within existing operational environments. Early adopters of the platform have reportedly reduced remediation backlogs, eliminated manual handoffs between Security and IT departments, and resolved issues that were previously stalled due to tooling limitations or execution bottlenecks.
Mark Hatfield, Co-Founder and General Partner at Ten Eleven Ventures, commented, “IT security teams don’t need more alerts — they need a way to act on the ones they already have. Furl is tackling the hardest and most neglected part of the security lifecycle: execution. The team’s background and approach give them a credible path to solving a problem the industry has struggled with for years.”The company is currently preparing for broader availability as it continues to collaborate with early customers to decrease time-to-fix and alleviate operational burdens in large environments.
