Conifers.ai, an early-stage startup backed by SYN Ventures, on Thursday announced the closing of a $25 million round to use “agentic AI” technology to tackle complex security operations center (SOC) problems.

The company, which has offices in Israel and Texas, is building the Conifers CognitiveSOC platform that uses agentic AI to draw on institutional knowledge and  adaptive learning to refine investigations and give enterprise security teams and contextual analysis and strategic metrics.

According to Conifers.ai documentation, when the product receives a security incident, it maps the incident to a relevant security use case and uses pre-trained underlying agents and models to handle the complexities of security operations incidents. 

“By combining these pre-trained models with an organization’s institutional knowledge and risk tolerance level, the platform generates a fine-tuned response plan for each incident. This approach ensures that responses are both specific and contextually relevant,” Conifers.ai explained.

The company said its flagship product integrates with existing incident management and ticketing tools and can be rolled out by use case across SOC tiers.

Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that operate autonomously and can take independent actions based on their environment and objectives. Unlike traditional AI models that passively generate outputs based on prompts, startups are building agentic AI products capable of planning, reasoning and interacting with external systems or orchestrating multi-step tasks without continuous human oversight.
