Reclaim Security Raises $26M
Cybersecurity startup Reclaim Security secured $26 million with the goal of eliminating the industry's average 27-day vulnerability remediation gap. The company's 'preemptive defense' strategy leverages AI to detect and fix vulnerabilities at machine speed, reflecting the arms race between attackers and defenders.
The total $26 million in funding for Reclaim Security includes a recent $20 million Series A round. The funding round was led by Acrew Capital, with participation from Ibex Investors and QP Ventures. The company was founded in 2024 by CEO Barak Klinghofer, who previously sold the security orchestration firm Hexadite to Microsoft. His co-founders include Chief Product Officer Roy Peretz, VP Engineering Yaniv Waksman, and VP Research Or Virnik. The 27-day remediation gap is a critical problem when attackers can now breach systems in as little as 27 seconds. This disparity has created a massive backlog of known but unfixed vulnerabilities at many enterprises. Reclaim's platform uses a simulation engine to predict the operational and business impact of a security fix *before* it is executed. This "business-aware" approach is designed to prevent remediation actions from disrupting critical applications or workflows. CEO Barak Klinghofer calls the current market situation a "Remediation Mirage," where vendors apply an AI label to what is essentially just faster prioritization or ticket management, leaving the actual fix as a slow, manual process. The new capital is earmarked for expanding Reclaim's engineering team and accelerating its go-to-market initiatives across North America and Europe. The company also plans to deepen its integrations with other enterprise security platforms. Early adopters of Reclaim's technology in sectors like financial services and healthcare have reported a 90% reduction in the manual effort required to fix critical issues and an 80% improvement in overall threat resilience.
