Dallas and Tel Aviv-based agentic AI security operations center platform Conifers.ai announced a partnership with, and strategic investment from, Washington Harbour Partners to scale its CognitiveSOC platform and expand Conifers’ work supporting U.S. government missions.

“We’re excited to partner with Washington Harbour as we enter this next stage of our business,” Conifers Co-Founder and CEO Tom Findling, said in a statement. “This investment supports our plan to advance CognitiveSOC and bring proven, AI-driven investigations to new mission environments, increasing SOC quality, accuracy, and efficiency. Together, we will deliver innovation and trusted expertise where it’s needed most.”

Terms of the investment were not disclosed. In April, we wrote about how Conifers.ai was growing fast after emerging from stealth in January with a $25 million funding announcement.

Aiming to accelerate product development

Conifers said the partnership will accelerate product development and enhance service capabilities for government agencies, helping organizations adopt next-generation security technologies that proactively address emerging cyber threats while optimizing operational performance.

Conifers said its CognitiveSOC platform applies agentic AI and contextual decision analysis to SOC investigations to help reduce risk and become a force multiplier for analyst productivity at scale. It goes beyond tackling basic Tier-1 problems to help security teams handle complex investigations and take action with speed and precision.

The company said the platform’s AI capabilities ensure resilience against always-evolving threats while streamlining operations and reducing costs for customers.

“Conifers is applying advanced AI to one of the most complex operating problems in cybersecurity. We are proud to support Conifers’ next phase of expansion to create lasting impact across mission-critical sectors,” Mina Faltas, founder and CIO of Washington Harbour, said in a statement. “AI is reshaping cyber operations, but only a few platforms translate that promise into results. Our investment supports expanding CognitiveSOC to the environments where reliability is non-negotiable,” added Daim Malik, Principal at Washington Harbour.

Conifers recently partnered with federally focused service providers to make CognitiveSOC available to government customers, leveraging agentic AI to bring innovation into government agencies.
