Crogl, armed with $30M, says it’s built an AI ‘Iron Man suit’ for security analysts

Crogl, an Albuquerque-based startup, launched an AI-powered autonomous assistant for security operations that analyzes and learns from large volumes of alerts, emerging from private beta with $30M in funding led by Menlo Ventures and Tola Capital. The platform, framed as a “knowledge engine” or Large Security Model, supports natural-language querying across all alerts to reveal trends and improve analyst efficiency, with remediation on the roadmap. The piece emphasizes the team’s deep domain expertise from Sandia, Splunk, and Databricks, and the investors’ confidence in their capability to build in this space.
