Tuskira: Mitigating Risk with Proactive AI Cyberdefense
The cybersecurity challenges facing enterprises are escalating at an unprecedented pace. The explosion of Generative AI (GenAI) has armed adversaries with tools that make exploiting vulnerabilities faster, easier, and more effective than ever before. Attacks are quick and relentless. Attackers no longer wait months to exploit weaknesses, they strike within hours. For security teams, this means they must manage:
- Accelerated Exploitation: GenAI is enabling attackers to develop exploits faster than ever, reducing the window for vulnerability remediation from months to hours.
- Manual Overload: Fragmented tools generate overwhelming amounts of data, forcing security teams into spreadsheet-driven workflows that delay critical action.
- Static Defenses: Traditional approaches focus on patching and remediation, long-term strategies that can’t keep pace with the speed of modern threats.
Tuskira’s patented Agentic AI Security Mesh integrates data from over 150 detection and protection tools to provide a unified view of an organization’s defenses and vulnerabilities. This orchestration turns siloed tools into synchronized systems, dramatically improving operational efficiency and addressing:
- Proactive Risk Management - Tuskira doesn’t just aggregate data—it analyzes it in context. By validating exposure criticality, simulating attack pathways, and defending against zero-day threats, it enables security teams to prioritize what truly matters. This shift from reactive to proactive defense is critical in today’s threat landscape.
- Automation at Scale - Through AI-driven exposure validation and automated security control assessments, Tuskira reduces manual effort, accelerates workflows, and improves incident response times. This empowers security teams to focus on the most critical risks and act faster than ever.
- Real Results - Tuskira consolidates fragmented tool telemetry, reduces noise, eliminates blind spots, and maximizes the effectiveness of existing security investments. The result? Enhanced defenses, measurable ROI, and the ability to defend today against tomorrow’s threats.
Tuskira’s founding team brings decades of experience in scaling enterprise cybersecurity solutions. Collectively, they hold over 25 patents in cybersecurity and have been pioneers in domains like vulnerability management (VM), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPP). Their expertise extends to building industry-leading products that operate at a massive scale, with a deep understanding of data fabric technologies and GenAI scalability.
We were impressed not only by the technology but also by the team’s vision and ability to execute. Tuskira addresses one of the most critical challenges in cybersecurity today: how to empower defenders in a world where attackers are moving faster than ever. By harnessing the power of GenAI, Tuskira accelerates risk validation, exposure management, and defense optimization. As the cybersecurity landscape becomes increasingly complex, solutions like Tuskira are essential for organizations seeking to stay ahead.
Today, Intel Capital is excited to lead the Series A investment in Tuskira. We look forward to working with Tuskira and welcoming them to the Intel Capital family. Tuskira’s innovative approach, combined with their deep expertise, has the potential to redefine how security teams operate, enabling them to preempt threats, minimize risk, and maximize the effectiveness of their defenses.
