SVCI invests in Terra Security to empower the future of Agentic-AI pentesting

We're excited to announce that Silicon Valley CISO Investments (SVCI) has joined Terra Security as a strategic investor. This partnership marks a significant milestone as we continue building the future of offensive security powered by AI agents.

SVCI is a community of hundreds of CISOs from some of the most influential companies in the world. They don't just invest capital, they invest time, expertise, and real-world experience to help early-stage cybersecurity startups succeed.

This investment represents far more than capital. SVCI invests in only one company per category, and they've chosen Terra to represent our space.
There's no stronger validation than earning the trust of such a strong community of security leaders who truly understand the problems and needed solutions in the market.

The new investment comes on the heels of our $8 million seed round, which we announced earlier this year. 

Together with SVCI, we’re laying the foundation for a new category of penetration testing: Agentic, continuous, intelligent, and scalable.

At Terra, our mission is to enable organizations to fully leverage their Pentest program security value, providing scalable, continuous, context-aware, and tailor-made tests.

SVCI brings a unique perspective that will help us sharpen our product and go-to-market approach. As active CISOs, their members understand the pain points and tradeoffs that modern security leaders face. They’ve seen the shortcomings of current solutions and are deeply motivated to help new ones succeed.

Terra Security continues to redefine offensive security. This new investment from Silicon Valley CISO Investments cements its path toward security innovation, enterprise trust, and market leadership.
