The Writing on the Wall: A Crisis Security Leaders Can’t Ignore
Cybersecurity experts have seen the warning signs for years. Sharon Isaaci, co-founder and CEO of Tonic Security, recalls the “writing on the wall” that others missed. As a former CISO and advisor to Fortune 500 companies, he often witnessed data breaches caused by known, mis-prioritized exposures. “No one was outpatching the adversaries,” he said.
This frustration led to the founding of Tonic Security, now emerging from stealth with $7 million in seed funding from Hetz Ventures, Vesey Ventures, and leading cybersecurity angel investors.
Simplifying the Chaos: AI-Powered Context in a Noisy Ecosystem
Modern security teams face a flood of fragmented data from countless tools. Tonic’s AI-powered Exposure Management Platform addresses this directly. It aligns and enriches data from multiple sources, helping teams prioritize vulnerabilities with clear business context.
Tonic’s proprietary AI agents and Data Fabric process threat intelligence, documentation, support tickets, and internal communication. The result: fewer distractions, clearer decisions, and faster responses.
“Security teams are drowning in data but starving for context.”
Pavel Livshitz, General Partner at Hetz Ventures
Measurable Impact: Speed, Clarity, and Confidence
Tonic’s early adopters report significant gains. Business-critical remediation time is down 50%. Analysts spend 20% less time triaging. Overall, 90% of findings no longer need remediation.
Mark Fournier, CIO and CISO at the United States Senate Federal Credit Union, noted, “It used to take days to identify an exposed asset and understand the potential risk… With Tonic it takes minutes.”
