  "summary": "Hadrian, an agentic AI offensive security platform, has secured $40 million in new funding to combat AI-driven cyber threats. Co-led by Forgepoint Capital International and Smart Fin, the round brings the company's total funding to $65 million. Founded by Rogier Fischer, Olivier Beg, and Maurice Clin, Hadrian's platform leverages AI to help businesses identify and prioritize exploitable security risks in their external attack surfaces. The company targets the evolving cybersecurity landscape where AI is increasingly used by attackers to automate parts of the attack process, while security teams continue to rely on manual penetration testing. Hadrian's platform maps an organization's digital footprint, identifies potential risks, and helps security teams prioritize remediation, with AI agents carrying out tasks between human decision-making. The new funding will be used to expand across EMEA and the US and invest in engineering and research teams.",
