Prophet Security Raises $30M Series A Led by Accel to Launch its Agentic AI SOC Platform

Security teams face mounting pressure. While threats are always increasing, it’s operational drag that is breaking the modern SOC: alert overload, disconnected tools, and hours lost to repetitive, manual investigations. Years of investment in SIEMs and SOARs have added complexity but haven't solved the core challenge of reducing the team's workload. This burnout-inducing status quo is where real threats hide.

This is the problem we are built to solve. Today, we are thrilled to announce that Prophet Security has raised a $30 million Series A, led by Accel, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures and other strategic investors. This funding directly fuels the launch and expansion of our comprehensive Agentic AI SOC Platform, a force multiplier designed to give security teams the leverage they deserve.

Eric Wolford, Partner at Accel, had this to say about the investment: “What stood out to us about Prophet wasn’t just the technical ambition, but the real-world traction: they’re delivering autonomy and speed while showing their work—a critical differentiator in an industry that runs on trust.” 

Scaling SOC capacity with limited resources

Our mission goes beyond a vision; it's about delivering tangible results today. For example, our customer Cabinetworks used Prophet AI to cut their investigation time from hours to minutes. By automating the investigative workload at machine speed, they reduced false positives and gave their analysts more time to focus on the threats that matter most, all without adding more staff.

Beyond automation: AI that thinks like an analyst

What security teams lack is a system that can handle the hard part: quickly making sense of alerts and reasoning through complex situations to provide answers they can actually trust. Prophet AI is built to investigate alerts as an experienced human analyst would, using flexible, explainable reasoning, not rigid playbooks.

Closing the Gap: The AI SOC Platform

To deliver on this, we have built the comprehensive Agentic AI SOC Platform. It includes:

• AI SOC Analyst: Autonomously investigates alerts from across your security stack, collects evidence, and delivers findings in plain English.
• AI Threat Hunter: Proactively surfaces suspicious patterns and helps form lines of inquiry across disparate systems.
• AI Detection Advisor: Helps teams improve detection coverage and reduce alert noise based on actual telemetry, not guesswork.

The Prophet AI SOC Platform removes the tedious, repetitive work for Tier 1, 2, and 3 analysts, enabling them to focus on security work that truly matters. As one CISO put it best, this is “role elevation, not role elimination.” By handling the burdensome first steps of triage and investigation, Prophet AI also accelerates the training and onboarding of new analysts, allowing them to learn from an agentic system.

This funding round is a major milestone, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who made it possible. To our early customers and partners, thank you for believing in our vision and shaping our platform. And most importantly, to our founding team: this achievement is a direct reflection of your talent and relentless dedication. You’ve tackled immense challenges to build something truly new from the ground up, and we are honored to be on this journey with you.

If you're grappling with alert overload and long investigation times, we should talk. We'd love to show you the Prophet AI platform in action.
