Concentric AI Secures $45 Million in Series B Funding.

Concentric AI, an AI-driven data security startup, has raised $45 million in Series B funding, led by Top Tier Capital Partners and HarbourVest Partners. This round also welcomed participation from new investor CyberFuture, alongside previous backers such as Ballistic Ventures, Engineering Capital, Clear Ventures, and Citi Ventures, raising Concentric AI’s total capital to more than $67 million.

The funding reflects the growing demand for advanced data security tools in a global data access governance market projected to surpass $8 billion by 2027.

Amid explosive data growth, Concentric AI’s data security solutions are transforming how organizations protect sensitive information.

As companies amass vast data across cloud storage platforms, SaaS solutions, and on-premises environments, Concentric’s flagship tool leverages AI to autonomously catalog and secure this data, ensuring organizations know exactly where their most critical assets reside.

With capabilities spanning structured data in databases to unstructured files across email and chat applications, Concentric AI can detect potential security risks with unprecedented precision.

AI-Driven Solutions to a Complex Data Landscape from Concentric

According to a Concentric report, over 50 percent of enterprises still rely on traditional methods, such as Excel spreadsheets, to manage data compliance and privacy reporting. Concentric’s automated approach replaces outdated techniques by autonomously assessing the risk associated with various data types and making security recommendations.

This process is streamlined for security teams. Concentric’s platform automatically integrates with various company systems, including databases, SaaS applications, and generative AI platforms like Microsoft’s Copilot.

Data access governance is increasingly complex, with company information scattered across various platforms, often in cloud-based or hybrid environments. Concentric AI’s solution enables enterprises to manage this information with comprehensive AI-driven cataloging and risk assessment capabilities.

Its algorithms identify sensitive data like passwords, private meeting files, and audio-visual content that may need extra protection. Concentric enhances security by not moving or copying data, creating semantic data representations that safeguard sensitive information without exposing it to third parties.

Enhanced Security for the Distributed Workforce

The company’s technology uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) to enhance security posture across data stores, email systems, messaging apps, and enterprise AI tools.

IBM’s 2021 Cost of Data Breach report highlights that automated tools can reduce breach costs by as much as 84 percent, making Concentric’s automation an appealing choice for enterprises seeking cost-efficient data protection. Moreover, Concentric tracks data lineage, offering a comprehensive view of data origins and usage patterns, which supports more robust data governance and compliance adherence.

Under CEO Karthik Krishnan, Concentric AI has experienced significant growth, tripling its customer base within six months, with year-over-year growth reaching 300 percent. The company’s rise aligns with the rapid adoption of generative AI in enterprise settings.

Krishnan said that the Series B funding will further drive Concentric’s go-to-market strategy and speed up product development to support a broader range of data security needs. With AI-driven solutions that make autonomous data cataloging and cybersecurity automation more accessible to global enterprises, Concentric AI is positioned to lead the next wave of data security innovations.
