Our Investment in Prophet Security: Security Operations at the Speed of AI

Enterprises today are caught in a conundrum. They must ship faster and faster to stay ahead of the competition, but with that speed comes increased exposure to a new era of cyber threats. As tools and connected systems proliferate, the digital attack surface expands. AI exacerbates the challenge, making it easier than ever for bad actors to attack with speed and agility. 

Security operations centers (SOC) bear the brunt of this challenge. SOC teams drown in thousands of alerts from noisy security tooling, talented analysts burn out on repetitive tasks, and keeping up with threats feels impossible. Traditional security platforms and legacy systems have failed to address the realities of the new threat landscape.

Prophet Security’s approach to security operations represents a much-needed leap forward for the industry, which is why we've led the company's Series A. Prophet’s platform uses AI agents to automate the entire threat investigation and resolution process, freeing up time for analysts to focus on the most complex, high-stakes threats. It also puts clarity and trust at the center of its product: when the platform acts, it makes evidence-backed decisions and compiles detailed timelines of what happened.

What stood out to us about Prophet’s approach to tackling the challenges facing SOC teams, wasn't just their technical vision, but the results their customers see. In the last six months, they have run over a million investigations and saved customers like Cabinetworks, Clari, Docker, and Zip hundreds of thousands of hours. When we spoke to those customers, they were effusive in their praise. We believe the Prophet team has the rare combination of aptitudes – AI expertise, systems skills, data integration and transformation abilities, and real experience in security operations– needed to properly address the challenges of today’s threat landscape. 

To Kamal and the entire Prophet team: welcome to the Accel family.
