By SecurityWeek News | February 17, 2026 (11:00 AM ET) Flipboard Reddit Whatsapp Email Vulnerability intelligence company VulnCheck announced on Tuesday that it has raised $25 million to meet demand for its solutions. The Series B funding round, which brings the total raised by the company to $45 million, was led by Sorenson Capital, with participation from National Grid Partners, Ten Eleven Ventures, and In-Q-Tel. The money will be used to expand product development and scale growth. VulnCheck provides a platform for tracking the lifecycle of vulnerabilities and their active exploitation. The company’s solutions are designed to help security teams and threat intelligence analysts identify which vulnerabilities pose the most immediate risk. The platform continuously monitors a wide range of data sources to provide intelligence on CVEs. It tracks exploit availability, proof-of-concept code, and weaponized payloads to assist organizations in prioritizing patching efforts beyond traditional scoring systems. The company focuses on providing early-stage intelligence, often surfacing indicators of compromise or exploit development before they appear in public databases. ADVERTISEMENT.

We’ve paired VulnCheck’s intelligence with our automated AI penetration testing and elite human analysis to deliver a continuous defense that doesn’t just find vulnerabilities—it identifies the ones that are truly exploitable,” said Mark Kuhr, co-founder and CTO of security testing firm Synack. “This combination empowers our customers to prioritize the risks that actually matter and close the gap on exploited CVEs,” Kuhr added. VulnCheck emerged from stealth in early 2023 with $3.2 million in seed funding.
