Furl, a company focused on fixing security issues automatically, has secured $10 million in seed funding. The round was led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with participation from Rapid7 CEO Corey Thomas and the Open Opportunity Fund. The startup aims to solve a major problem in enterprise security: turning vulnerability reports into actual fixes quickly and efficiently.

Bridging the Gap Between Detection and Remediation

Many organizations are good at finding security risks but struggle to fix them fast enough. A report shows that companies only fix about one in ten vulnerabilities they discover. The delay happens because the process of moving from identifying a problem to resolving it is complicated and manual. Security teams often face a backlog of unaddressed issues, while misconfigurations, outdated software, and policy violations pile up.

The real challenge isn’t spotting vulnerabilities anymore — it’s fixing them. Currently, the workflow breaks down when findings move from the security team to IT. Manual handoffs cause delays, context gets lost, and tickets pile up. Companies invest heavily in scanning tools and dashboards, but the actual work of fixing vulnerabilities remains scattered and slow.

How Furl’s Platform Changes the Game

Furl offers a different approach. Its platform connects with existing security and IT tools, then investigates the real-world context of endpoints and servers. Instead of just alerting teams, Furl’s system autonomously executes remediation steps. It also validates that the fixes worked, reducing the need for manual follow-up.

Rather than generating more alerts or tickets, Furl’s system performs the hands-on work of fixing issues. The platform is designed to work safely within existing workflows, providing security teams with oversight while automating repetitive tasks. This way, teams can focus on more strategic security efforts instead of getting bogged down in manual fixes.

Early Success and Industry Impact

Early customers are using Furl to cut down on backlogs, reduce the need for manual coordination, and resolve issues that previously took too long. The platform integrates with popular tools like Rapid7, Tenable, Qualys, Automox, Action1, and SentinelOne. It doesn’t just suggest fixes; it investigates the current system state, generates context-aware remediation steps, and confirms that issues are resolved.

Furl emphasizes autonomous execution with built-in safety measures. This ensures that fixes are applied correctly without introducing new risks. Security teams retain control and oversight, but the platform handles the routine, time-consuming work. It’s a big step forward in closing the gap between detecting vulnerabilities and actually fixing them.

By focusing on automating the hardest part of cybersecurity — execution — Furl aims to help organizations reduce their risk faster and more effectively. The new funding will support further development and expansion of the platform, pushing the industry toward smarter, faster security responses.
