Company emerges from stealth with $30M in funding to deliver an AI-first cybersecurity operations platform designed for scale and autonomy
Prophet Security, a cybersecurity company pioneering the future of autonomous security operations, announced it has raised $30 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Accel, with participation from DSV, Palo Alto Networks, and several prominent angel investors including Arvind Raman (CTO, Scale AI), Oliver Friedrichs (Founder, Phantom Cyber), and Ely Kahn (VP, SentinelOne and Co-founder, Sqrrl). This investment will accelerate the development and go-to-market of Prophet’s Agentic AI SOC Platform, purpose-built to transform security operations centers (SOCs) through intelligent, agent-based automation.
The funding marks Prophet’s emergence from stealth and positions the company at the forefront of AI-driven cybersecurity innovation. Founded by a team with deep roots in AI and security operations, Prophet Security aims to address the persistent challenges facing enterprise SOCs namely alert fatigue, talent shortages, and the reactive nature of traditional tools.
“The SOC of the future isn’t built around a SIEM or a SOAR. It’s built around AI agents that can reason and act,” said Ben Anastas, CEO and Co-Founder of Prophet Security. “These agents can triage alerts, conduct investigations, and mitigate threats working alongside human analysts but with a degree of speed and accuracy that humans alone can’t match.”

At the heart of Prophet’s offering is its Agentic AI SOC Platform, which deploys specialized agents to autonomously perform high-fidelity alert investigations and response actions across the SOC lifecycle. Unlike traditional automation tools that follow static playbooks, Prophet’s agents are designed with reasoning capabilities and contextual awareness, enabling dynamic decision-making that adapts to real-world complexities.
“The Prophet team has a strong vision for how AI agents will transform cybersecurity,” said Ben Fletcher, Partner at Accel. “They are building a first-of-its-kind platform that will allow security teams to shift from reacting to threats to proactively managing risk with AI doing the heavy lifting. We’re excited to partner with them on this journey.”
The company has already gained traction with Fortune 500 design partners and is actively expanding access to early adopters. Prophet’s platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing security stacks, allowing enterprises to deploy intelligent agents without replacing core infrastructure.
“Security teams are overwhelmed and under-resourced. We need tools that can act, not just alert,” said Anastas. “Our agents don’t just tell you there’s a fire they help put it out.”
