Watch Cogent Security CEO and co-founder Vineet Edupuganti share the story behind building an AI-native platform designed to help organizations manage and resolve security vulnerabilities automatically.

Vineet reflects on the growing imbalance between attackers and defenders as AI accelerates the speed of cyber threats. As hackers increasingly use AI to discover and exploit vulnerabilities faster than ever, traditional security workflows—often reliant on manual investigation and coordination across teams—are struggling to keep up.

The discussion explores the insight behind Cogent’s product: vulnerability management today is fragmented and complex. Security teams must gather signals from scanners, threat intelligence, asset inventories and internal systems before deciding what actually needs to be fixed. Cogent’s AI agents bring this context together, analyze the risk and help security teams prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities much faster.

Vineet also talks about the shift from reactive security toward proactive defense. By deploying an always-on fleet of AI agents that continuously audit systems and identify potential attack paths, Cogent aims to help organizations harden their environments before attackers can break in.

As the company scales its product and customer base, Vineet sees Cogent evolving into an autonomous AI task force for enterprise security, giving security teams dramatically more leverage in an era where attackers are moving faster than ever.
