Furl, a security remediation platform, has closed a $10 million seed round led by Ten Eleven Ventures. The round also saw participation from Rapid7 CEO Corey Thomas and Open Opportunity Fund. The company is addressing what many consider the weakest link in enterprise security: turning vulnerability findings into actual fixes.

The funding comes as organizations struggle with a persistent problem. Security teams have become excellent at identifying risks, but remediation remains painfully slow. According to a Cyentia report commissioned by Cisco, companies fix just one in ten vulnerabilities they discover.

The Execution Gap in Cybersecurity

Enterprise security teams face a paradox. Detection tools have never been better, yet vulnerability backlogs continue to grow. Misconfigurations sit unaddressed. Software updates stall. Policy violations accumulate. The bottleneck isn’t identification anymore. It’s execution.

Remediation workflows typically break down when findings move from Security to IT. Manual handoffs create delays. Context gets lost. Tickets pile up faster than teams can process them. Organizations invest heavily in scanners and dashboards, but the work of actually fixing issues remains fragmented across tools and teams.

Furl’s platform takes a different approach. It connects to existing security and IT tools, investigates the real-world context on endpoints and servers, and autonomously executes remediation steps with built-in validation. Rather than generating more alerts or tickets, the system performs the hands-on work of fixing vulnerabilities.

“Cybersecurity has become very good at telling teams what’s wrong, but fixing those problems is still painfully manual. Having built inside vulnerability management and endpoint tooling, we saw how remediation breaks down in practice. Furl applies agentic AI where it actually matters — executing fixes safely, with context — so teams can reduce risk instead of just reporting on it.”

Derek Abdine, CEO and Co-Founder of Furl

Building Remediation into Existing Workflows

Early customers are using Furl to reduce backlogs, eliminate manual coordination between Security and IT, and resolve issues that previously stalled due to tooling limitations. The platform integrates with tools enterprises already depend on, including Rapid7, Tenable, Qualys, Automox, Action1, and SentinelOne.

The company’s approach focuses on autonomous execution with guardrails. Furl doesn’t just recommend fixes or create scripts. It investigates system state, generates context-aware remediation steps, and validates results. Security teams maintain oversight while the platform handles repetitive, time-consuming execution work.

“IT security teams don’t need more alerts — they need a way to act on the ones they already have. Furl is tackling the hardest and most neglected part of the security lifecycle: execution. The team’s background and approach give them a credible path to solving a problem the industry has struggled with for years.”

Mark Hatfield, Co-Founder and General Partner at Ten Eleven Ventures

Expanding Remediation Capabilities

The new capital will accelerate product development and expand operating system coverage. Furl plans to deepen its remediation capabilities to handle increasingly complex, multi-step fixes. The company is preparing for broader availability while continuing to work with early customers to reduce time-to-fix and operational burden across large environments.

The seed round positions Furl to scale its platform as more organizations recognize that detection without execution leaves them vulnerable. Knowing about security issues matters less if teams can’t address them efficiently.

Founded by Security Veterans

Furl was founded by veterans from Rapid7, Automox, and Censys who experienced the remediation problem firsthand while building vulnerability management and endpoint security tools. The team brings deep experience from companies that specialize in detection and assessment, which gave them direct visibility into where security workflows typically fail.

Their experience informed Furl’s product philosophy. Rather than adding another layer of alerting or prioritization, they built a system designed to complete the security lifecycle. The platform aims to make remediation as automated and reliable as detection has become.

Investor Backing and Strategic Support

Ten Eleven Ventures led the round with support from Open Opportunity Fund and Rapid7 CEO Corey Thomas. Ten Eleven Ventures is a cybersecurity-focused investment firm that has raised over $1 billion and made more than 60 investments across stages globally. The firm’s portfolio includes companies like KnowBe4, Darktrace, Axis Security, Twistlock, Verodin, Cylance, and Ping Identity.

The involvement of Rapid7’s CEO signals strategic validation from an industry leader familiar with the challenges of vulnerability management at scale. Thomas has seen firsthand how remediation bottlenecks affect organizations across every sector.
