LEIDEN, Netherlands — Gambit Cyber, an emerging leader in AI-native preemptive cybersecurity, has announced the successful close of its US$3.4 million seed funding round. The round was led by Expeditions, a leading early-stage investor in European security, with participation from Bitdefender Voyager Ventures, the early-stage investment arm of global cybersecurity leader Bitdefender.
The investment will accelerate platform enhancements, international expansion, and strategic partnerships. Gambit Cyber’s AI-powered platform, KnightGuard, enables organizations to continuously identify, validate, and reduce cyber risks, allowing security teams to address the most critical vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
KnightGuard leverages a coordinated mesh of specialized AI agents and integrated security capabilities, helping enterprises continuously understand, prioritize, validate, and act on cyber risk.
The platform is already gaining traction among early enterprise customers and managed security service providers across financial services, telecom, and critical infrastructure sectors in India, the UAE, and Europe.
Headquartered in the Netherlands, Gambit Cyber operates with teams and channel partners across the UK, UAE, Australia, and India, reflecting growing demand for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) as organizations adapt to increasingly AI-driven threat environments.
The funding comes as enterprises turn to CTEM to address expanding attack surfaces, the rise of AI-enabled threat actors, and the ongoing shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals.
“This investment validates our mission to reinvent how organizations understand and respond to cyber risks,” said Anuj and Manuj Kumar, Co-founders of Gambit Cyber. “KnightGuard was built from the ground up to be AI-native, risk-centric, and preemptive. With Expeditions and Bitdefender behind us, we are accelerating toward a future where security teams gain real-time clarity and stay continuously ahead of threats.”
Mikolaj Firlej, Founding Partner at Expeditions, said the firm believes KnightGuard has the potential to become foundational for organizations adopting CTEM, citing its scalable, automation-driven, and threat-informed architecture.
Representatives from Bitdefender Voyager Ventures added that Gambit Cyber aligns with their strategic focus on advancing cybersecurity through data, automation, and AI, noting their commitment to supporting the company with both capital and global expertise.
The new funding will be used to scale product engineering, expand KnightGuard’s AI agents, and grow Gambit Cyber’s presence across Europe, the UAE, and Asia-Pacific, alongside partnerships with MSSPs, telecom providers, and cloud platforms.
