Sekoia.io secures €26 million to democratise threat detection with AI and cyber intelligence

Rennes-based Sekoia.io, a startup focused on cybersecurity technologies and developer of the Sekoia AI-SOC platform, announced today it has raised €26 million in Series B, bringing the total fundraising to €60 million.

The funding round was led by Revaia, with participation from UNEXO and the support of its existing investors Bright Pixel Capital, Omnes Capital and Bpifrance.

Freddy Milesi, Founder and CEO of Sekoia.io, stated: “This fundraising will allow us to invest in the technological development of our platform—particularly in agent-based AI. Out of 4 million real threats detected by the platform in 2024, 25% were detected automatically thanks to our exclusive AI and intelligence technologies! We want to accelerate this momentum while expanding our international activities beyond Europe. Our ambition is clear: recruiting hundreds of service partners who are our growth drivers internationally and to boost their managed SOC offerings through the Sekoia.io platform.”

Founded in 2022, Sekoia.io aims to protect organisations against future cyber threats by bringing high-performance detection technology and automated response at the core of security operations.

Sekoia.io’s offering reportedly democratises cybersecurity for organisations of all sizes, from large enterprises to SMEs supported by security providers (MSSP or Managed Security Service Providers). By equipping this MSSP ecosystem with a flexible platform deployable in record time, Sekoia.io allows them to be part of the rapidly growing market of outsourced cybersecurity.

The Sekoia AI-SOC Platform looks to redefine cyber defense by addressing how Security Operations teams work. Providing a centralised view of an organisation’s entire information system, the Sekoia platform claims to:

Automate the most advanced detections of cyber threats by leveraging an exclusive Cyber Threat Intelligence dataset on both cybercriminal groups and state espionage.
Drastically reduce incident response times by deploying generative and agent-based AI technologies that can learn from and understand an organisation’s security posture. In a market short of talent, the platform empowers SOC Analysts to become significantly more productive, guided by AI, not replaced by it.
Offer flexibility to companies by focusing on an open and collaborative approach. Whether migrating SIEMs or building a brand-new security stack, the platform’s interoperability with third-party solutions (over 200 native integrations) allows for maximising the return on past investments.

Based in four European countries, Sekoia.io has over a hundred employees and around fifty MSSP partners. Among its clients are EDF, Vinci, SNCF, Mirakl, Marlink, and the French Ministry of Armed Forces. The company aims to become the leader in the emerging market of AI-Native Security Platform for managed SOCs.

The cybersecurity market is undergoing rapid change, driven by the rise of sophisticated threats and regulatory developments such as the NIS2 directive in Europe, which imposes stricter cybersecurity requirements on organisations.

The MSSP market is experiencing significant growth and is expected to reach €47..9 billion by 2028. By specifically targeting this segment, Sekoia.io is adopting a differentiating approach that will allow it to scale quickly through an indirect distribution model.

With this fundraising, Sekoia.io plans to:

Strengthen its AI and automation capabilities to address the cybersecurity talent shortage.
Accelerate its expansion in various regions beyond Europe to replicate the repeatable business model deployed in France.
Multiply its partnerships with MSSPs to democratise access to high performance cybersecurity for companies of all sizes.

Hadrien Comte, Principal at Revaia, commented: “We are proud to support Sekoia.io in this new phase of growth and to accelerate its expansion in Europe. Cybersecurity is a critical issue for companies of all sizes, and Sekoia.io provides an innovative solution by democratising access to advanced protection through AI and automation. Sekoia.io offers a unique and scalable approach that enhances SMEs’ resilience against growing cyber threats. We are excited to support Freddy and the entire team in their ambition to build a European leader in cybersecurity.“
