Contextual security startup Nebulock closed a $25 million Series A funding round led by FirstMark Capital. The platform helps security teams identify and remediate threats across their company's security infrastructure.

Nebulock, founded and led by CEO Damien Lewke, provides security teams with tools to proactively detect and address vulnerabilities across their security stack. The startup operates in the contextual security space, where companies increasingly seek consolidated threat detection and response capabilities. FirstMark led the Series A investment, signaling confidence in the company's approach to security operations. The funding will support Nebulock's product development and go-to-market efforts as enterprise security spending remains elevated. The startup enters a crowded market where competitors focus on threat detection, incident response, and security orchestration. Nebulock's emphasis on proactive remediation and cross-stack visibility positions it alongside platforms like Wiz, Lacework, and others addressing the complexity of modern security environments.
