Vectra AI, Inc.

Vectra AI, Inc. develops AI-driven threat detection and response software that identifies active cyberattacks across enterprise networks, cloud services, identity systems, and SaaS applications. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in San Jose, California.

Its flagship Vectra AI Platform, formerly branded Cognito, analyzes network, identity, and cloud activity to surface attacker behavior, competing in the network detection and response (NDR) market against firms such as Darktrace and ExtraHop. Vectra sells primarily to enterprises and public-sector organizations, with detection coverage spanning Microsoft 365, AWS, and hybrid on-premises environments.

Vectra AI has raised roughly $350 million from investors including Accel, Khosla Ventures, TCV, IA Ventures, and Wipro Ventures. In April 2021, a $130 million round led by Blackstone Growth valued the company at $1.2 billion, granting it unicorn status. Under chief executive Hitesh Sheth, who has led the company since 2012, Vectra AI employs roughly 680 people.
