AI Cybersecurity Startup CloudSEK Bags USD 19 Mn in New Funding
The company aims to use the fresh capital to further develop its AI models and platform integrations, particularly those that help identify Initial Attack Vectors (IAVs)—subtle early signs of cyber incidents such as leaked credentials or exposed APIs. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Cybersecurity firm CloudSEK has raised USD 19 million across its Series A2 and B1 funding rounds to bolster its AI-powered threat prediction platform and expand its global footprint. The round drew participation from a mix of Indian and US investors, including MassMutual Ventures, Inflexor Ventures, Prana Ventures, Tenacity Ventures, and strategic investor Commvault. Existing investors like the Meeran Family (founders of Eastern Group), StartupXSeed, Neon Fund, and Exfinity Ventures also doubled down on their commitment. Founded in 2015 by cybersecurity researcher Rahul Sasi, CloudSEK provides AI-based threat intelligence tools that detect cyber threats before they escalate. The platform is used by over 250 enterprises across sectors such as banking, healthcare, government, and technology. The company aims to use the fresh capital to further develop its AI models and platform integrations, particularly those that help identify Initial Attack Vectors (IAVs)—subtle early signs of cyber incidents such as leaked credentials or exposed APIs. "We built CloudSEK to predict initial attack vectors and stop threats before they make headlines—our goal has always been to prevent incidents before they escalate," said Rahul Sasi, Co-founder and CEO of CloudSEK. "Unlike conventional threat intelligence, which often focuses on indicators of compromise after an attack, our platform identifies early warning signs—such as leaked credentials, exposed APIs, or compromised vendors—weeks before an incident occurs. That's what we call predictive, not forensic, intelligence." CloudSEK's platform has gained significant international traction. "Today, over 60% of our new revenue comes from international markets, with the US emerging as our fastest-growing region. We've achieved this scale while remaining cash flow positive," Sasi noted. Following this round, CloudSEK has raised USD 26 million to date and plans a Series B2 extension to onboard new investors and enable partial exits for early backers.

Proofpoint's Sumit Dhawan on why human-centric cybersecurity is key
Image: Supplied As cyber threats become more human-targeted and AI-driven, Proofpoint is expanding its footprint in the UAE. With local data centres, enhanced threat intelligence, and a growing partner network, the company is aligning closely with the region's cybersecurity priorities — at a time when 74 per cent of UAE CISOs cite human risk as their top concern. Here, we speak to CEO Sumit Dhawan about the cybersecurity challenges, opportunities and the way ahead for the company and businesses in the UAE. What do you see as the biggest cybersecurity challenge for organisations in the UAE, and how is Proofpoint addressing them? Today's cyber threats are growing in sophistication. Attackers are no longer simply targeting infrastructure — they're targeting people. This is the biggest challenge for security leaders in the region, with 74 per cent of UAE CISOs viewing human risk as their biggest cybersecurity concern. Organisations in the UAE, and globally, are facing multifaceted threats that exploit human vulnerabilities — from business email compromise (BEC) and ransomware to impersonation and supplier-related breaches. Proofpoint addresses this by protecting the human layer of cybersecurity — the intersection of people, data, and collaboration tools. Human vulnerabilities drive over 80 per cent of breaches, making this the most important layer of defense. We provide tailored solutions that combine advanced threat detection, data security and governance, automated posture management, and intuitive education tools to reduce risk at scale. Traditional, siloed controls aren't enough. Proofpoint is building the only truly adaptive human-centric security platform that protects every individual and secures their data. You're announcing significant investments in the UAE. What are you focusing on and how will this help address local cybersecurity needs? Two key needs stood out in discussions with customers and government leaders: First, there's strong demand for cloud-based security paired with data sovereignty — many local businesses need data to remain within national borders. Second, there's unanimous agreement on the importance of human-centric security as a pillar of next-generation cybersecurity alongside XDR and SASE. To meet these needs, we launched local data centres in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, offering world-class threat protection with full data sovereignty. We've also expanded our local team, opened a new office, and built a regional partner network of 550 strong. With the rise of AI and machine learning, what new threats are emerging, and how is AI being used to fight back? AI has lowered the barriers for attackers. Language models now allow cybercriminals to craft convincing, localised attacks. In 2024, the UAE saw a 29 per cent increase in BEC attacks. At the same time, AI is revolutionising cyber defense. It enables faster detection, adaptation, and prevention of threats at scale. Proofpoint's edge lies in our vast human-centric threat data — our AI learns from millions of signals to stay ahead of attackers. In 2025, we will further integrate AI advancements into our platform, strengthening our lead in proactive, adaptive How is Proofpoint helping businesses protect their data amid regulatory change and growing compliance pressure? Data is increasingly at risk due to human behaviour and digital sprawl. The rise of generative AI, multi-cloud use, and fragmented collaboration tools make it difficult for businesses to maintain visibility and context. Proofpoint's human-centric platform helps unify data security, threat protection, and compliance. Our 2024 acquisition of DSPM leader Normalyze strengthened this capability. With our solutions running through local data centres, businesses in the UAE can ensure compliance while safeguarding critical and personal data. Proofpoint CEO Sumit Dhawan with Dr Mohammed Al Kuwaiti, head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council/ Image: Supplied What's ahead for Proofpoint and how does this align with the UAE's cybersecurity vision? In 2025, our focus is clear: to cement our position as the leader in human-centric security and address growing challenges around sophisticated threats, stricter compliance, and fragmented security ecosystems. We were honoured to host Dr Mohammed Al Kuwaiti, head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council, at our Protect Tour event in Dubai. Proofpoint's mission is fully aligned with the UAE Cybersecurity Strategy — to build a secure, resilient digital future. As AI, cybersecurity, and human behavior intersect, that's where we're investing and innovating.
