Prophet Security has announced a $30 million Series A funding round led by Accel, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures and additional strategic investors. The investment will power the official launch and expansion of the Agentic AI SOC Platform, designed to alleviate the operational burden faced by modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs).
Security operations teams continue to confront rising threats, but the primary challenge lies in operational overload — alert fatigue, disjointed tools, and time lost to manual investigations. Traditional solutions like SIEMs and SOARs have added layers of complexity without meaningfully reducing analyst workload, contributing to burnout and leaving vulnerabilities unaddressed.
Eric Wolford, Partner at Accel, commented on the investment: “What stood out to us about Prophet wasn’t just the technical ambition, but the real-world traction: they’re delivering autonomy and speed while showing their work — a critical differentiator in an industry that runs on trust.”
The Agentic AI SOC Platform serves as a force multiplier, providing security teams with the leverage needed to scale operations without increasing headcount. As demonstrated by Cabinetworks, implementation of Prophet AI reduced investigation times from hours to minutes. Automated investigations at machine speed led to fewer false positives and enabled analysts to concentrate on high-priority threats.
The Prophet AI SOC Platform introduces a set of tools purpose-built to think like experienced analysts rather than follow rigid automation scripts.
This comprehensive suite eliminates repetitive tasks across Tier 1, 2, and 3 roles, transforming SOC workflows. As one CISO described, it’s about “role elevation, not role elimination.” The platform not only speeds up triage and investigations but also supports faster onboarding and skill development for new analysts by modeling expert-level reasoning.
The Series A round marks a significant milestone for Prophet Security. Support from early customers and partners has been instrumental in shaping the platform, while the founding team's dedication and ingenuity have laid the foundation for an entirely new approach to security operations.
