Amsterdam cybersecurity startup Hadrian has raised $40m in a round co-led by Forgepoint Capital International and Smartfin, bringing its total funding to $65m. The company says it will expand across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the United States and hire engineers and researchers.

Hadrian's Atlas software maps systems exposed to the internet and uses AI agents to assess whether flaws are exploitable. Its Nova software performs automated penetration tests on request. Hadrian claims customers fix problems 80% faster; that performance figure is a company claim.
