VulnCheck Named Startup Spotlight Competition Finalist at Black Hat Asia 2025
Vulnerability and Exploit Intelligence Technology Leader Set to Present Before Panel of Esteemed Judges on April 3 LEXINGTON, Mass., March 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VulnCheck, the exploit intelligence company, today announced that it has been named a finalist for the first-ever Startup Spotlight Competition at Black Hat Asia 2025. VulnCheck will present its comprehensive exploit and vulnerability intelligence technology to a panel of distinguished industry judges and a live audience on Thursday, April 3 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Vulnerability exploitation has persisted as the top cybersecurity threat for years. Despite $30 billion spent annually across both the vulnerability management and threat intelligence sectors, security teams struggle to maintain pace with the volume of new vulnerabilities and the speed at which adversaries weaponize unpatched software. In fact, vulnerability exploitation increased by nearly 200% in 2024 and more than 23% of known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs) were exploited on or before the day their CVEs were publicly disclosed. Recognizing the need to gather better data, faster, VulnCheck built an autonomous collection system to monitor threats at internet scale to give customers a prioritized view of the vulnerabilities that matter. "We now see sophisticated cybercriminals exploiting new vulnerabilities in as little as four hours," said Benjamin Harris, CEO and founder at watchTowr. "Defenders need to determine exposure to emerging vulnerabilities much sooner to effectively respond and prevent attacks before they occur. While dealing with slowdowns within industry-standard intelligence sources like CISA KEV, NVD and MITRE, VulnCheck data helps us fill this gap." VulnCheck delivers the most comprehensive, real-time exploit and vulnerability intelligence, autonomously collected at the time of disclosure. VulnCheck sources data from nearly 500 channels and over 400 million records across all CVEs. The platform refreshes its feed multiple times per day and provides data output in machine-readable feeds. Designed for seamless integration into security workflows and products, VulnCheck enables product, security and response teams to track, prioritize, and remediate the most critical vulnerabilities early and often. "We have the largest collection of vulnerability and exploit intelligence in the industry, and we make it available before anyone else," said Anthony Bettini, CEO and founder of VulnCheck. "As vulnerabilities are exploited on an increasingly compressed timeline, we believe it is critical for this unique, best-in-class threat data to be available on a global scale. This recognition from Black Hat Asia helps us expand even further in the APAC market, reaffirms our approach and is a testament to our team's commitment to supporting analysts and defending organizations from emerging threats." Last week, VulnCheck announced a $12 million Series A funding round led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with participation from existing investors including Sorenson Capital and In-Q-Tel (IQT). This follows a year in which the company achieved 3x year-over-year Annual Recurring Revenue growth, 158% customer growth and a 100% customer retention rate. The Startup Spotlight Competition begins at 4:15 p.m. SGT on April 3. VulnCheck's Chief Marketing Officer Tom Bain will be delivering the presentation, in addition to a second talk in Business Hall Theatre A at 11:35 a.m. SGT. Bain presented on behalf of VulnCheck in the 2024 RSAC Innovation Sandbox competition, where VulnCheck was one of 10 finalists, and most recently at the Montgomery Summit, where VulnCheck was a presenting company. The panel of expert judges includes Chiko David, Programs Director at Hatch; Lucas Nelson, Partner at Lytical Ventures; Jon Ong, Senior Cybersecurity Analyst at Omdia; and Sunil Sapra, co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at Eventus Security. Shanna Daly, CISO at OpSys will host the contest.
