CyberKord raises €2.7M to automate IT and cybersecurity operations with AI

Italian cybersecurity firm CyberKord has secured €2.7 million in pre-seed funding to develop an AI-driven platform aimed at streamlining IT and cybersecurity operations. Led by venture capital firms 360 Capital, Plus Partners, Addendum Capital, and Vento, the round was spearheaded by 360 Capital. Founded in Milan in 2026 by Alessandro Maggio, Dragos Tanasa, and Cosimo Michelagnoli, CyberKord's platform is designed to reduce manual intervention in identifying, investigating, and resolving IT and cybersecurity problems.

As companies scale their IT infrastructure and integrate new software and AI agents, managing security and operational issues has become increasingly complex. While security tools can detect threats swiftly, resolving them often demands considerable time due to manual processes and human intervention. The cybersecurity landscape is facing accelerated and more frequent attacks, intensifying the urgency for prompt security incident responses.

CyberKord intends to bridge the gap between threat detection and resolution by automating tasks traditionally requiring manual intervention from IT and security teams. The company's platform utilizes AI and a Digital Twin of a company's IT infrastructure to analyze issues, simulate potential solutions, and execute corrective actions autonomously.

Companies can input infrastructure, software, and AI agents continuously, causing operational work to outpace team capacities. CyberKord's AI-driven system can initiate processes based on security alerts, support tickets, or communication platform messages like Microsoft Teams and Slack. The AI identifies the root cause of an issue, simulates the proposed fix, and executes it using the company's existing tools.

Integration with both cloud-based and on-premise systems is seamless without necessitating a replacement of the company's existing infrastructure. Organizations can control the AI's level of autonomy, and all actions are recorded for review. By automating routine operational tasks, CyberKord aims to enable IT and security professionals to concentrate on infrastructure development, strategic projects, and decisions necessitating human expertise.

With the fresh funding, CyberKord plans to expand its platform, conduct pilot projects with large European companies across manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and telecommunications sectors, and grow its workforce, particularly in technical and commercial roles.
