San Jose, California, United States · AI Core · Safety & security / Security · exaforce.com

Exaforce builds an AI-native security operations platform that automates SOC analyst work, supports natural-language threat investigation, and is deployed by enterprise customers including Replit and Guardant Health.

Positioning

Exaforce is Ankur Singla third company and sits in this registry as the security counterpart to his optics company Lumilens. Its argument is architectural: most AI SOC products ask agents to reconstruct context during an investigation by querying logs after the fact, whereas Exaforce treats security operations as a real-time data architecture problem, starting from a real-time knowledge graph that gives its Exabots complete context before an investigation begins. The company claims up to 90 percent reduction in manual analyst work and 10x SOC efficiency. It went to market in Q4 2025 after two years of closed testing with a dozen design partners, had 20 customers at its Series B, and expected 40 to 50 by year end. A feature called vibe hunting lets analysts query by informal natural-language hypothesis. The USD 125 million Series B on 2026-05-12 at a USD 725 million valuation is described as one of the largest ever in the emerging AI SOC category. Commercial scores 2 because no revenue is disclosed and 20 customers is early. Singla previously founded Contrail Systems (acquired by Juniper for USD 176 million) and Volterra (acquired by F5), and was CTO of Aruba Networks.
