🚀 Introducing 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗹: The Future of Security Operations We’re thrilled to introduce 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗹, the cybersecurity risk management company redefining how security teams combat cyber threats. TechCrunch’s Ingrid Lunden covered our launch! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gKHsKPqF Why Crogl? Security teams are overwhelmed with alerts, yet traditional automation only scratches the surface. Crogl changes that: ✅ 4,500+ alerts per day – Traditional automation handles only a fraction of them. ✅ AI-driven knowledge engine – Learns from your security processes, making junior analysts as effective as senior experts. ✅ Fully customer-managed – No black-box AI, no external SaaS risk—just full control over your security operations. $30M in Funding to Fuel Our Mission We’re excited to announce $30M in funding from Menlo Ventures and Tola Capital to accelerate our vision. As Tim Tully from Menlo Ventures put it: “Crogl is a true force multiplier—an AI system that learns, adapts, and operates with the collective intelligence of an entire SOC.” This is the future of security operations.
