What Dux does

Dux, Inc. (operating as Dux Security) is a cybersecurity startup that sells an AI-driven agentic exposure management platform to enterprise security teams. Founded in 2024-2025 by Israel Defense Forces veterans and headquartered in New York with an R&D center in Tel Aviv, the company emerged from stealth in December 2025 alongside a $9 million seed funding round led by Redpoint, TLV Partners, and Maple Capital, with strategic participation from CrowdStrike, Okta, and Armis. The company entered the AWS & CrowdStrike Cybersecurity Accelerator in January 2026.

The product is organized as three interconnected modules: Exploitability Analysis, which maps how vulnerabilities, assets, and existing controls connect to distinguish merely reachable risks from truly exploitable ones; Lightweight Mitigations, which identifies non-patch controls and configuration changes that can close critical gaps immediately; and Remediation Acceleration, which uses AI agents to consolidate data sources, auto-tag assets, identify ownership, and orchestrate patching workflows. Underlying the platform are multi-stage AI agents that perform continuous exploitability reasoning across the enterprise security posture at machine speed.

Dux operates a SaaS subscription revenue model sold through an enterprise field-sales motion targeting CISOs and security teams at major U.S. organizations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Strategic investors (CrowdStrike, Okta, Armis) imply potential ecosystem and channel distribution leverage. At the time of analysis, no named paying customers, revenue figures, or customer counts are publicly available, and the company is in early commercial scaling following its December 2025 stealth emergence.

Core offering

Dux provides an AI-driven agentic exposure management platform that continuously analyzes enterprise environments to determine which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable, identifies lightweight mitigations that can close gaps without patching, and accelerates remediation through automated orchestration. The platform is sold as a SaaS subscription to enterprise security teams via a direct field-sales motion.

Product overview

Dux is a unified agentic exposure management platform that combines three interconnected modules: Exploitability Analysis, Lightweight Mitigations, and Remediation Acceleration. The platform uses AI agents to continuously analyze enterprise environments, identify exploitable vulnerabilities, and automate the path to safety at machine speed. Organizations progress through a multi-stage workflow starting with identifying what vulnerabilities can actually be exploited, then applying quick mitigations where possible, and finally accelerating remediation for issues requiring patches.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Dux Agentic Exposure Management Platform Unified AI-driven exposure management platform for enterprise security teams (CISOs and cybersecurity organizations) that combines exploitability analysis, lightweight mitigations, and remediation acceleration to close vulnerabilities at machine speed.
• Exploitability Analysis Maps how every vulnerability, asset, and control connects across the enterprise environment, separating merely reachable vulnerabilities from truly breachable ones; answers what is needed for an exploit, whether it can actually be exploited, and where existing controls already provide protection. Built for enterprise security teams.
• Lightweight Mitigations Identifies non-patch mitigations such as missing controls or configuration changes across the security posture to close critical gaps instantly, either as a stopgap while waiting on a patch or as a faster route to safety for enterprise security teams.
• Remediation Acceleration AI-powered remediation orchestration that ties together all data sources, auto-tags assets, identifies ownership, and customizes remediation workflows to address bottlenecks from spotty data, unclear ownership, and legacy systems; ensures urgent patching fixes get completed quickly for enterprise security teams.

Quantifiable outcome

• Time to exploitation reduced from weeks to minutes

Emerging players

• Axonius: Axonius focuses on cyber asset attack surface management and exposure visibility, with overlapping value propositions around connecting vulnerability, asset, and control data for security teams.
• Opus Security: Opus Security focuses on cloud vulnerability remediation orchestration, addressing the same 'too many vulns, not enough resources' pain point Dux targets with its AI-driven approach.
• Wiz: Wiz is a high-growth cloud security platform with strong exposure and vulnerability prioritization capabilities. While cloud-focused, it competes for the same enterprise security budget and CISO mindshare as Dux.
• Orca Security: Orca Security provides agentless cloud exposure and vulnerability prioritization, competing for the same exposure management buyer at cloud-forward enterprises.

Direct peers

• Qualys: Qualys is a long-standing enterprise vulnerability management and exposure platform. It competes for the same CISO budget Dux targets, with a more mature but legacy cloud-delivered architecture.
• Rapid7: Rapid7 offers vulnerability management, exposure analytics, and orchestrated remediation through InsightConnect and Metasploit — overlapping heavily with Dux's exploitability analysis and remediation acceleration modules.
• CrowdStrike (Falcon Exposure Management): CrowdStrike's Falcon platform includes an exposure management module and CrowdStrike is also a Dux seed investor, creating a direct competitor/investor relationship. Both target enterprise CISOs with continuous exposure analysis.
• Vulcan Cyber: Vulcan Cyber is a focused exposure management and remediation orchestration vendor, directly competing with Dux's remediation acceleration and lightweight mitigation capabilities.
• Tenable: Tenable is the established leader in vulnerability management (Nessus) and exposure management. Mille Gandelsman, who provided a Dux testimonial, is ex-Tenable, highlighting the direct competitive overlap in the exposure management category.

Broad incumbents

• Palo Alto Networks (Cortex XSIAM/XSOAR): Palo Alto's Cortex platform bundles exposure management, SIEM, and remediation orchestration as part of a broader portfolio, competing with Dux at the enterprise platform tier.
