Cogent Security

Cogent Security is a cybersecurity company building what it describes as the first AI taskforce for cybersecurity: a system of autonomous AI agents that handle vulnerability management at machine scale. The platform covers the full vulnerability lifecycle, ingesting real-time context, prioritising risks against the actual threat landscape, planning actions by return on investment, orchestrating automated remediation and producing programme-level reporting. It is backed by Greylock and partners with Fortune 500 companies, securing some of the most complex production environments in operation.

Alongside the product, the company runs Cogent Research, an applied AI laboratory intended to supply research depth to its agentic security workflows, combining frontier research with day-to-day execution. The technical work spans agentic AI, vulnerability management, automated remediation, risk prioritisation and machine-scale threat analysis.

The engineering team is drawn from organisations including DeepMind, Abnormal Security, Coinbase, Stripe and Tesla. The stated orientation of the company is autonomous, machine-scale automation of security work, with a working culture that mixes applied research and production engineering.
