Attackers use AI to locate and exploit vulnerabilities at machine speed; Hadrian offers an agentic offensive security platform that allows defenders to operate at the same speed.
Amsterdam-based Hadrian has raised an additional $40 million in a Series B round, to bring its total funding to $65 million. The new funding was co-led by Forgepoint Capital International and SmartFin, with participation from existing investors HV Capital, Motive Partners, Picus Capital and Oetker Ventures.
This new capital will be used to fund expansion across EMEA and the US, and deepen investment in the firm’s engineering and research teams.
Hadrian provides an AI native offensive security platform offering discovery (via Atlas), validation (via Nova), prioritization and remediation. The firm was founded in 2021 by former ethical hackers Rogier Fischer (CEO) and Olivier Beg (chief hacking officer), together with entrepreneur Maurice Clin (head of business development). It develops AI-driven offensive security technology designed to continuously discover, validate, and prioritize externally exposed cyber risks, combining continuous exposure management and agentic penetration testing.
Atlas continuously maps the organization’s external attack surface and uses AI agents to validate which exposures are exploitable. Nova provides on-demand agentic pentesting.
The purpose is to resolve the imbalance in manual pentesting and adversarial probing caused by the increased use of AI by attackers. “Attackers now move at machine speed, but many security teams are years behind, with data showing that 87% of organizations still run manual pentests,” says Hadrian. Manual pentesting struggles to separate importance from noise when only 0.47% of vulnerability scanner findings are genuinely exploitable. That means 99.5% of the alerts teams focus on need no action.
