Dux has emerged from stealth with a $9 million seed round to build an agentic exposure management platform focused on what attackers can actually exploit. The round was led by Redpoint, TLV Partners, and Maple Capital, with participation from cybersecurity executives at CrowdStrike, Okta, and Armis. Founded in Tel Aviv and New York, Dux is led by Or Latovitz, Amit Nir, and Nadav Geva, all veterans of large-scale national cyber and AI programs, and is already supporting major U.S. enterprises.The problem Dux is addressing is straightforward. Security teams are overwhelmed by assets, scanners, and vulnerability findings, while attackers are moving faster than ever. AI has shortened the window between disclosure and exploitation, leaving little time for manual triage or long patch cycles. In this environment, the real challenge is not knowing what is vulnerable, but knowing what is actually exploitable in a specific environment.Dux aligns to Gartner’s Continuous Threat Exposure Management model but applies it through agentic AI. The platform continuously analyzes attack paths, accounts for existing controls, and determines whether a vulnerability can realistically be used. When risk is real, it surfaces fast mitigation options or routes targeted remediation, instead of pushing every finding into a backlog.The new funding will support R&D expansion in Tel Aviv, growth of the U.S. go-to-market team, and continued development of Dux’s agentic capabilities. More broadly, the company points to a shift in how vulnerability management operates, moving from periodic scans and manual judgment to continuous analysis that matches the pace of modern attacks.
