Secure.com has announced the launch of its Digital Security Teammate (DST), a new category of AI-native agents designed to help overwhelmed cybersecurity teams manage the industry’s mounting operational crisis. The launch coincides with the company’s first funding round: a $4.5 million investment from Disrupt.com, the MENA-based venture builder known for backing global successes such as Cloudways, acquired by DigitalOcean for $350 million.
The timing is critical. Cybercrime damages are projected to reach $10.5 trillion globally, while the talent gap has widened to 4.8 million unfilled roles. Security teams are drowning in thousands of daily alerts from tools they cannot fully staff or manage. Breach costs have soared to $10.22 million in the U.S. and $7.29 million in the Middle East, yet fewer than half of affected companies plan to increase spending.
“Security teams are drowning. We are giving them oxygen,” said Uzair Gadit, CEO of Secure.com. “The industry doesn’t need another tool—it needs teammates. DSTs work like real colleagues, taking the night shift, clearing queues, and catching what humans miss, all while explaining every action.”
DSTs are always-on AI agents that integrate directly into existing security stacks. They investigate alerts, triage incidents, perform compliance tasks, and escalate only when necessary. Unlike MDR or SOAR platforms, DSTs deploy in minutes and deliver measurable value within the first half hour.
Key capabilities include 60% noise reduction, natural language interfaces, transparent and auditable operations, and built-in compliance with SOC2, ISO 27001, and regional frameworks. DSTs also integrate with more than 200 security platforms, including Splunk, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and major cloud providers.
By absorbing high-volume, repetitive tasks, DSTs free lean teams to focus on strategic investigations and impactful security improvements—helping organizations keep pace with AI-powered threats in an era where human teams alone can no longer cope.
