Astra Security, the security platform with continuous vulnerability scanning and pentests, announced the closing of a growth capital round-led by Emergent Ventures, with participation from the Neon Fund, Better Capital, Blume Ventures, and Pointone Capital. The funds will accelerate development and build capabilities to uncover vulnerabilities in cloud environments. The company also plans to double down its focus on using AI to give developers and security engineers the ability to build security detections. The company has been building its platform since 2018 while remaining cash-positive.
