Hadrian raises $40m to scale AI-driven offensive security platform
Amsterdam-based agentic AI offensive-security platform Hadrian has raised a $40 million (€35.68 million) funding round co-led by Forgepoint Capital International and SmartFin, taking its total funding to about $65 million.
Hadrian, the London-Amsterdam-based agentic AI offensive security platform, has raised $40 million (€35.68 million) in a funding round co-led by Forgepoint Capital International and SmartFin, with participation from existing investors HV Capital, Motive Partners, Picus Capital and Oetker Ventures, the company announced on Tuesday via Business Wire. The backing brings Hadrian’s total funding to about $65 million (€58 million), EU-Startups reports.
The company said the capital will fund expansion across EMEA and the United States and deepen investment in its engineering and research teams. Founded in 2021 in Amsterdam by Rogier Fischer, Olivier Beg and Maurice Clin, Hadrian’s platform lets businesses see security through a hacker’s eyes — mapping the digital footprint, discovering risks and prioritising remediation — with humans setting the mission while AI does the work in between.
“We built a platform that emulates hackers’ attack paths, helping our customers to understand their key risks and prioritise their security resources appropriately,” said chief executive Rogier Fischer.
The raise comes as AI agents have begun hacking company systems without human direction, including Anthropic’s disclosure that criminals and state-linked groups used its models to automate whole attack chains and write zero-day exploits, Hadrian noted.
