Qevlar AI has secured $30 million in funding to accelerate development of its agentic AI Security Operations Center (SOC) platform. The round was jointly led by Partech and Forgepoint Capital International, with participation from EQT Ventures, as the company shifts focus from automating alert investigations to delivering organization-level security insights that improve overall security posture.
Security operations centers face overwhelming alert volumes, with Gartner estimating 70% of detection and response time spent on triage and investigation. Native tools often fall short, leading to increased phishing and business email compromise incidents. Qevlar AI addresses this capacity gap by automating deep investigation tasks—data enrichment, pattern recognition, correlation, and reporting—freeing analysts for strategic work.
The platform’s AI engines process alerts with full depth and context, delivering consistent results around the clock. Early adopters report dramatic efficiency gains, including immediate ROI through reduced costs and improved operational excellence.
Abdelhalim Elmouadan, Head of Global Operational Security at Sodexo, said: “The business case was easy to validate due to the immediate ROI. We not only reduced operational costs significantly but also improved our operational security efficiency and excellence.”
Frederic Zink, Managing Director, France at Orange Cyberdefense, added: “We can now detect threats more quickly and accurately, while focusing our analysts' expertise on the most complex and critical incidents.”
The new funding round powers Qevlar AI’s next evolution: using autonomous investigation outputs to generate actionable insights into underlying security weaknesses. By identifying trends and root causes, the platform enables teams to implement targeted remediations, reduce future alert volumes, and strengthen overall defense.
Ahmed Achchak, Qevlar AI Co-Founder and CEO, said: “Today, most SOCs measure success by how many alerts they tackle and how quickly they are resolved. But this is a firefighting approach that tells you nothing about your security posture. The only way to understand that is by being able to identify patterns in the trends, and that requires a completely new approach. We’re moving from autonomous alert investigations to an intelligent AI SOC platform that uncovers insights that transform how teams not only deal with alerts, but stop them from recurring. We’re putting out the fire and finding out what started it to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
Damien Henault, Managing Director & Partner at Forgepoint Capital International, noted: “We have been impressed by Qevlar AI’s momentum over the last twelve months. It has seen exceptional commercial traction with both Fortune 500 enterprises and leading MSSPs, with its customer base expanding globally. It makes perfect sense for us to increase our backing as it evolves its offering from alerts investigation to a complete end-to-end next-generation AI SOC insights platform, extending all the way from Level 1 investigation to Level 2 enhanced detection and Level 3 remediation.”
Reza Malekzadeh, General Partner at Partech, added: “Qevlar AI stands out as a company with the potential to be genuinely transformative; rather than just allow SOCs to process alerts faster, it is giving them the power to tackle the underlying issues. The company’s success to date highlights just how much the market needs this approach.”
