The security industry kept building better detectors. Nobody built the thing that actually fixes what they find.
Furl is what was missing. A continuous autonomous remediation platform that investigates every finding, generates environment-specific fixes, and deploys them — without a ticket, a handoff, or a human in the loop at every step. The backlog closes. Exposure shrinks. Your team handles the exceptions.
25 years of better detection. The backlog only got bigger.
Derek Abdine spent his career building the tools that find vulnerabilities. Head of Labs at Rapid7 — which he helped grow to a $2B+ market cap — where he led data science, threat intelligence, and security research, including Sonar, one of the most widely used internet scanning projects in the industry.
CTO at Censys, defining how organizations understand their attack surface. 5 patents in cybersecurity. Research cited in the 2019 Economic Report to the President. Briefings at the White House and on Capitol Hill.
All of it made finding vulnerabilities faster and more comprehensive. None of it made the backlog smaller. Every improvement in detection produced more findings than teams could close. The execution side of security never kept up — not because people weren't trying, but because the tooling to do it at scale didn't exist.
Now AI is accelerating both the volume of vulnerabilities and the sophistication of attacks exploiting them. The backlog that was already unmanageable is becoming existential. Furl is the execution layer that closes it.
Continuous autonomous remediation.
Not patch management. Not another scanner. Not a dashboard that tells you how far behind you are. Furl is the execution layer — an always-on agent that investigates findings, maps your environment, generates fixes built for your specific stack, and deploys them. Continuously. Without the handoff.
Context engineering
Before Furl touches anything, it maps your endpoints: what's running, who owns it, how it connects to everything else. It knows which systems are business-critical, understands software dependencies, and analyzes usage patterns. Autonomous remediation is only safe when the system knows what it's doing.
Execution, not advice
Rapid7, Tenable, Qualys — they find vulnerabilities. Furl fixes them. The competitive moat is that security vendors historically avoided being on the hook for solving the problem. Furl does the opposite. We actually close risk.
What patch management leaves open
Patch management only handles vulnerabilities with vendor-supplied fixes — roughly half the problem. Furl handles misconfigurations, non-standard installations, hardening gaps, end-of-life systems, and emergency response events like Log4Shell. We own what patch management leaves open.
Continuous, not one-time
Furl isn't something you invoke. It runs in the background — monitoring, remediating, validating — so your exposure is shrinking even when nobody's watching. Your attackers aren't taking breaks. Your remediation shouldn't either.
