What happened
Gambit Cyber raised USD 3.4 million in seed funding, led by Expeditions with participation from Bitdefender Voyager Ventures. The cybersecurity startup also launched a wholly owned subsidiary in India to support regional expansion and product growth.
Who is affected
Enterprises in regulated industries such as financial services, telecom, and critical infrastructure are the primary target users. Managed security service providers and regional security teams in India may also be impacted as Gambit expands local operations.
Why CISOs should care
Gambit’s KnightGuard platform uses AI to identify, validate, and prioritize cyber risks based on real exploitability. This helps security teams reduce alert noise and focus resources on threats that pose the highest business risk. For CISOs managing limited staff and growing attack surfaces, better risk prioritization can improve response speed and decision making.
3 practical actions
-
Review how your team prioritizes alerts and vulnerabilities today. Identify gaps where exploitability context is missing.
-
Assess AI-driven risk prioritization tools that integrate with your existing SIEM or XDR stack.
-
Track early-stage vendors expanding in Asia-Pacific, especially those addressing alert fatigue and operational efficiency.
