Tonic Security is an Agentic Exposure Management Platform that helps security teams transform fragmented exposure data into actionable risk decisions and coordinated remediation campaigns. The platform combines contextual risk prioritization, automation, and orchestration to help organizations reduce cyber risk rather than simply detect it. Pulse 2.0 interviewed Tonic Security Co-Founder and CEO Sharon Isaaci to learn more.
Sharon Isaaci’s Background
When asked about his background and the experiences that inspired Tonic Security, Isaaci shared:
I have spent more than 25 years in cybersecurity and intelligence leadership roles. Before founding Tonic, I served as Chief Intelligence Officer and CISO of the IDF Home Front Command, where I was responsible for intelligence and information security during national emergencies. I later led sales and delivery at Sygnia, a top-tier incident response and cybersecurity consulting firm. During this time I worked closely with enterprise security leaders and Fortune 500 companies, helping them manage cyber risk at scale.
Across those roles, I consistently saw the same challenge. Security teams were detecting more vulnerabilities and threats than ever before, but they still struggled to reduce actual risk. That gap between knowing and doing became the motivation for building Tonic.
How Tonic Security Started
When discussing how the idea for Tonic Security came together, Isaaci explained:
The idea for Tonic emerged from years of working with CISOs who were overwhelmed by alerts and findings but lacked clear guidance on what truly mattered. Security tools can generate millions of findings, yet only a small fraction represent real business risk.
We realized the industry had focused heavily on detection but not enough on decision-making and execution. The real problem was not finding or scoring vulnerabilities; it was deciding what to fix and actually mobilizing teams to remediate them.
Tonic was built to close that gap by bringing context, automation, and orchestration to exposure management.
Market Opportunity
When asked about the total addressable market Tonic Security is pursuing, Isaaci outlined:
Exposure management sits at the intersection of several large cybersecurity categories, including vulnerability management, attack surface management, and security operations.
Together, these segments represent a multibillion-dollar global market, mandated in many cases by regulation and contractual obligations. As organizations shift from detection toward measurable risk reduction, we believe this category will continue to grow significantly.
Organizations already have many tools that detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity risks, and other exposures. What they increasingly need is a decision and execution layer that connects those signals, determines what requires action, and coordinates remediation across the business.”
Core Products And Features
When describing Tonic Security’s core product and features, Isaaci detailed:
At its core, Tonic is an Agentic Exposure Management Platform designed to help security teams transform fragmented exposure data into actionable risk decisions and remediation campaigns.
We ingest exposure data from across the security stack and build a contextual understanding of what actually threatens the organization. That includes technical risk, exploitability, business impact, ownership, and more.
From there, our platform does something most security tools do not do. It does not stop at analysis or risk scoring; it follows through to validate remediation to completion.
Our Mobilization Coordinator orchestrates remediation across teams, tools, and workflows. It turns security insights into coordinated remediation campaigns and ensures the right issues get fixed at machine speed.
So, instead of generating another dashboard, we help security teams drive real risk reduction from analysis through measurable outcomes.
Cybersecurity Scale And Velocity
When asked about recent challenges in the cybersecurity sector and how Tonic Security has addressed them, Isaaci observed:
The biggest challenges in cybersecurity right now are scale and velocity.
Organizations are dealing with expanding attack surfaces, hundreds of security and IT tools, and millions of findings that change continuously. At the same time, vulnerability discovery and exploitation are increasingly happening at machine speed, while most remediation processes still operate through spreadsheets, tickets, meetings, and manual follow-up.
That operational mismatch is becoming one of the largest risks facing security teams.
Because teams cannot remediate everything, they often rely on static severity scores or incomplete information. This can result in significant effort being spent on issues that are not materially dangerous, while more consequential exposures remain unresolved.
We realized early on that this was not simply a data problem. It was an operational decision-making problem. Security teams need to understand what matters, why it matters, who owns it, what action should be taken, and whether that action reduced risk.
That is why we built Tonic as an AI-native platform that reasons across technical signals, business context, threat intelligence, identity, reachability, and operational constraints, and then drives remediation across the organization.
That shift from analysis to mobilization is what defines our approach.
Technology Evolution
When discussing how Tonic Security’s technology has evolved since launching, Isaaci noted:
Early on, we focused on providing contextual intelligence for vulnerability prioritization.
Since then, the platform has evolved into a full decision and execution layer for security operations. The latest milestone is the introduction of the Mobilization Coordinator, an agentic workflow that automatically orchestrates remediation campaigns and validates outcomes.
This evolution reflects a broader shift in the industry. Security teams do not just need insight; they need automated execution that ensures risk is actually reduced.
Major Company Milestones
When asked about Tonic Security’s most significant milestones, Isaaci highlighted:
Some of our key milestones include:
- Emerging from stealth and launching the platform, backed by a $7 million seed round.
- Building the Security Data Fabric, which allows us to unify and contextualize exposure data across complex environments.
- Launching the Mobilization Coordinator, the industry’s first agentic remediation orchestration capability.
- Growing adoption among enterprise security teams looking for a more operational approach to risk reduction.
- Being recognized as a prominent innovator in exposure management by leading voices in the industry, such as Gartner.
Each milestone has moved us closer to our core mission: helping organizations reduce cyber risk, not just detect it.
Customer Success Stories
When invited to share specific customer results, Isaaci reported:
Many of our customers come to us with environments that generate millions of findings from scanners and security tools.
By applying contextual analysis and agentic prioritization, we often reduce that volume dramatically and focus teams on the handful of exposures that truly matter. In some cases, organizations have reduced remediation workloads by as much as 99% while improving actual risk reduction.
That shift allows security teams to move faster, align remediation with business priorities, and demonstrate measurable impact:
- 90% reduction in exposures requiring remediation.
- 50% faster remediation of business-critical risks.
- 80% of remediation automatically orchestrated, reclaiming 35% of security team capacity.
One of our customers, the United States Senate Federal Credit Union, reduced exposures requiring remediation by 94%.
Tonic Security’s Differentiators
When asked what differentiates Tonic Security from its competition, Isaaci emphasized:
“Tonic is differentiated by combining three capabilities that are typically fragmented across separate products.
First, we unify technical, threat, identity, network, business, and operational context. This allows us to understand not only that a vulnerability exists, but whether it is exploitable, reachable, connected to a critical business process, and feasible to remediate.
Second, we use that context to make explainable prioritization decisions rather than relying primarily on static severity scores. Security teams can understand why an exposure is important and what factors influenced the decision.
Third, we coordinate remediation through completion and validate that the exposure was actually reduced.
Many platforms stop at visibility, scoring, recommendations, or ticket creation. Tonic is designed around the full path from exposure discovery to verified risk reduction.”
Future Goals
When discussing Tonic Security’s future goals, Isaaci concluded:
Our long-term goal is to become the decision and execution layer for enterprise exposure reduction.
As attackers increasingly use AI to discover, combine, and exploit weaknesses at machine speed, defenders need a system that can continuously reason about risk, mobilize the organization, and verify outcomes with the same level of speed and scale.
We are building Tonic to help security teams move from reactive vulnerability management to fast and continuous exposure reduction, while preserving human oversight, explainability, and organizational control.”
