[Digital Today reporter Chi-gyu Hwang (황치규)] Cybersecurity startup Scanner has raised $22 million in Series A funding led by Sequence Capital.
According to a recent report by SecurityWeek, Scanner, founded in 2022, helps companies build a cloud-native security data lake to carry out threat hunting and continuous detection and response.
It connects to existing security tools and stacks. It also provides a model context protocol server in which AI agents access an organisation’s data lake to run security operations.
Scanner’s solution builds an inverted index at the point of data collection, quickly scanning only the data needed. It lowers costs by scaling resources up when queries run and down when idle.
AI agents link and analyse multiple data sources and provide summarised results. The system supports interactive investigations, detection engineering and autonomous response workflows. Scanner said it can deliver faster responses than existing security information and event management solutions because it indexes directly where data is stored and continuously runs detection across the full stream.
