Threat detection startup Tuskira has officially launched with $28.5 million in funding to accelerate product innovation, expand integrations, and refine its artificial intelligence technologies for improved cybersecurity outcomes. The company was founded by Piyush Sharma, Om Moolchandani, and Vipul Parmar, the team behind cloud security company Accurics, which was acquired by Tenable for $160 million. Tuskira offers an AI-powered unified threat defense platform that integrates fragmented security tools, optimizes controls, and mitigates risk exposure in real-time.
The company aims to redefine how enterprises defend against cyberattacks by unifying tools with automated security control assessments and in-depth analysis of vulnerabilities across code, cloud, applications, and infrastructure. The company’s platform has been designed to counter AI-enhanced cyberattacks that have rendered traditional defenses ineffective. Tuskira advocates for businesses to adopt proactive strategies to address vulnerabilities before exploitation occurs.
Its security mesh fills gaps by unifying fragmented tools, optimizing controls, and providing actionable insights that help organizations stay ahead of attackers.
Tuskira’s AI-enhanced threat defense
“At Tuskira, we are laser-focused on delivering real, measurable improvements to our customers’ defense capabilities,” said Tuskira Chief Executive Sharma.
“We aren’t just plugging security gaps; we’re predicting and preventing potential attacks.”
Tuskira’s platform aggregates data from over 150 security tools into its unified security mesh, enabling organizations to proactively address threats. The real-time AI insights help identify and mitigate risks before they are exploited by continuously assessing and closing gaps caused by vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposure points. The platform also accelerates remediation by reducing response times from weeks to days, minimizing opportunities for attackers.
The funding round was led by SYN Ventures, with participation from Sorenson Capital Partners, Rain Capital, and Wipro Ventures. “By unifying security tools and enhancing controls, Tuskira’s platform positions businesses to stay ahead of attacks,” said Sunil Kurkure, managing director at Intel Capital. “Its solution has the potential to redefine proactive security and meet the demands of today’s evolving threat landscape by delivering insights that drive faster, more strategic decisions.”
