UpGuard Raises $75 Million Series C and Launches Risk Automations Platform
Cybersecurity firm UpGuard has secured $75 million in Series C funding led by Springcoast Partners, with participation from existing investors. The funding will support product innovation, global expansion, and potential acquisitions to strengthen the company’s AI-driven cyber risk management platform.
The company announced in a press release the launch of Risk Automations, a new feature within its Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform. The tool enables security teams to move from risk discovery to resolution in seconds by connecting directly to over 100 systems, including ServiceNow, Splunk, CrowdStrike, and Jira.
Risk Automations acts as an action layer that automates risk remediation and integrates with existing workflows. It provides a visual editor and a library of templates for building custom automations. The system allows for both autonomous and human-in-the-loop operations, streamlining triage and remediation processes.
According to UpGuard CEO Mike Baukes, Risk Automations closes the gap between identifying and resolving risks, reducing manual effort and improving response times. The feature is available to all UpGuard customers and was showcased at the company’s virtual UpGuard Summit on March 3 and 5, 2026.
