Why We’re Doubling Down on Qevlar AI

I’m thrilled to announce that Forgepoint Capital International is leading Qevlar AI’s $30M funding round alongside Partech, with participation from EQT Ventures & Growth.

Attackers increasingly use AI to automate attacks and target enterprises at scale. Qevlar AI’s autonomous AI SOC platform empowers defenders to fight back.

Qevlar AI: Autonomous AI-Led SOC Investigations

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are reactive, under-resourced, and overwhelmed. SOC teams manually investigate and triage a deluge of alerts, resulting in slow, expensive, and ineffective operations.

The Qevlar AI platform helps SOC teams respond to real threats faster and become more proactive. Its autonomous AI agents investigate and enrich 100% of alerts, identifying threat patterns and generating comprehensive reports with suggested remediations. This enables SOC teams to shift from manual investigations to strategic incident response planning, security posture management, and threat hunting.

Backing the Definitive AIxSOC Platform

Since we met co-founders Ahmed Achchak and Hamza Sayah in 2024, Qevlar AI’s ambition and differentiated approach have been undeniable. In 2025, we proudly co-led the company’s $10M funding round with high conviction that Qevlar AI has the talent, technology, and market opportunity to become a leader in AI SOC automation.

Today, we are even more confident. In the past year, Qevlar AI has exceeded all expectations, demonstrating strong product-market fit and traction with global enterprises and MSSPs including Sodexo, Mercedes-Benz, Orange Cyberdefense, ECI, and Atos. Its customers experience immediate ROI, driving down operational costs and increasing efficiency with an impressive 10x reduction in alert investigation time.

Qevlar AI’s platform is now best-in-class with recognition from Gartner and CB Insights, alongside accolades as a leading enterprise agentic AI solution. The company’s ability to attract high-caliber AI and cyber talent has propelled it to become the fourth-fastest-growing French tech company by headcount, creating a virtuous cycle of innovation and growth.

From Alert Management to Proactive Security Posture

This latest funding round will fuel Qevlar AI’s next phase of innovation: catalyzing end-to-end SOC intelligence that addresses the root cause of alerts. Leveraging proven Level 1 investigation automations, the company is expanding its platform to uncover organization-level security posture insights across Level 2 detection and Level 3 remediation. These new capabilities will enable SOC teams to identify and close security gaps, preventing threat and alert recurrence. This marks a foundational shift for the SOC and has the potential to make enterprises significantly more secure.

The Road Ahead

As we look to the future, Forgepoint firmly believes Qevlar AI is on a trajectory to own the AI SOC vertical. We are excited to welcome Partech to the network of investors, partners, and advisors accelerating Qevlar AI’s go-to-market globally. We look forward to continued collaboration with Ahmed, Hamza, and the team as they innovate the next generation of AI SOC technology.
