Qevlar AI Raises $30M to Shift Security Operations from Alert Firefighting to Organization-level Security Insights

Qevlar, shifting security operations from reactive firefighting to proactive defense, led by Ahmed Achchak, Hamza Sayah, and the team, has raised $30 million in funding for its autonomous AI SOC platform, led by Partech and Forgepoint Capital International, with participation from EQT Ventures.

The development follows a period of strong growth, with the company expanding its global customer base to include enterprises such as Mercedes-Benz and Sodexo, alongside leading managed security service providers such as Orange Cyberdefense, ECI, and Atos, while significantly broadening its geographic reach.

Moving SOC Teams from Reactive to Proactive Defense

Security operations center (SOC) teams face overwhelming alert volumes. Analysis by Forrester shows that just three attack scenarios can generate thousands of alerts, while Gartner estimates that 70% of threat detection and response time is spent on triage and investigation.

Qevlar AI addresses this challenge by automating the investigation process, including data enrichment, alert pattern detection, and reporting. This allows analysts to focus on proactive tasks such as threat hunting, incident response planning, and strengthening security posture.

Organizations adopting the platform, including global Fortune 500 companies and major managed security service providers, report major efficiency gains, including up to a 10× reduction in investigation time, continuous 24/7 analysis, and full-depth investigation of all alerts.

The new funding will further expand the platform’s autonomous investigation capabilities while generating deeper insights into underlying security issues, enabling faster remediation and a stronger long-term security posture.

Industry leaders highlighted the operational impact of Qevlar AI’s platform. Abdelhalim Elmouadan, Head of Global Operational Security at Sodexo, noted that the system delivered immediate ROI by significantly reducing operational costs while improving security efficiency.

Frederic Zink, Managing Director for France at Orange Cyberdefense, added that the platform enables faster and more accurate threat detection while allowing analysts to focus on complex incidents.

Qevlar AI Co-Founder and CEO Ahmed Achchak emphasized the need to move beyond a “firefighting” approach focused only on resolving alerts.

The company’s platform aims to uncover patterns and root causes behind threats, helping SOC teams prevent recurring issues and improve overall security posture.

Investors also pointed to the company’s rapid momentum. Forgepoint Capital, which led a previous round in 2025, highlighted strong commercial traction with Fortune 500 enterprises and global MSSPs as Qevlar expands from automated alert investigation to a full AI-driven SOC insights platform covering investigation, enhanced detection, and remediation. Partech added that the platform has the potential to transform security operations by helping teams address the root causes of threats rather than simply processing alerts faster.
