Cyber security firm SAFE has raised $70 million in a fresh funding round led by Avataar Ventures for building CyberAGI, the company said on Thursday.

Alongside the funding, SAFE unveiled an upgrade to its Cyber Risk Singularity platform that the company claims to be the world's first fully autonomous Continuous Threat Exposure Management solution, powered by Agentic AI.

"The capital will be used to accelerate SAFE's dominance in the cyber risk management market and fuel continued innovation to build Agentic AI-native reasoning models to move closer to SAFE's mission to achieve CyberAGI," the the California-based company said in a statement.

"We have over 100 employees in India. Most of our investment will go into India as... almost all our products and engineering is in the country," SAFE Co-founder and CEO Saket Modi said.

Google, Fidelity, T-Mobile, Chevron, and IHG are among its customers, SAFE said.
