“Since we took part in its advisory program in 2021, Dcode Capital has been an important supporter of Nucleus Security, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to continue our partnership through this investment,” said Stephen Carter, co-founder and CEO of Nucleus Security. “Dcode Capital’s support comes on the heels of our FedRAMP authorization earlier this year. We’re incredibly proud of that achievement, especially as it has opened the gate for addressing key federal missions. Now, with Dcode Capital’s connections, knowledge, and first-hand experience, we’re one step closer to achieving our mission to solve the most critical cybersecurity challenges for the most essential organizations in the government sector.”

Traditional vulnerability management often relies on multiple, fragmented tools and disjointed processes, making it challenging for the public sector to keep pace with the rapid evolution of cyber threats. Nucleus Security addresses these shortcomings by offering a unified vulnerability management platform that consolidates vulnerability data across various systems, providing a centralized view for navigating the intricacies of vulnerability analysis, triage, and remediation.

By streamlining vulnerability and risk management processes, Nucleus Security aims to effectively address the challenges faced by federal organizations, defense contractors, and FedRAMP cloud service providers (CSPs) in complying with federal directives and regulations.

“Government agencies are actively seeking best-of-breed commercial technologies to modernize and improve their security processes,” said Dcode Capital managing partner and CIA veteran Rebecca Gevalt. “Nucleus Security’s vulnerability management solution simplifies the complexities inherent in vulnerability analysis and provides agencies with the visibility and risk intelligence to effectively remediate threats. Having secured FedRAMP authorization earlier this year, Nucleus has demonstrated the rigor, commitment, and technical excellence we seek in companies we invest in. Effective vulnerability management is critical to our national cybersecurity efforts. We believe Nucleus Security can make a big impact in addressing this challenge.”

Dcode Capital joins In-Q-Tel, Arthur Ventures, and Lead Edge Capital, along with Nucleus’ strategic partners, including Thundercat, Norseman, Carahsoft, Guidepoint Federal, and other leading solution providers.

Vulnerability intelligence data is fragmented across multiple sources, from vendor security advisories to open-source projects, premium tools, and government databases, including CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog and National Vulnerability Database (NVD). As a result, threat and vulnerability analysts must spend hours manually collecting the data from these sources to analyze and assess threats. This time-consuming approach impacts incident response times and limits coverage. It makes it virtually impossible to proactively monitor the threat landscape to track vulnerabilities that may pose significant risks to the organization.

Nucleus Vulnerability Intelligence Platform aggregates data from up to 16 government, open-source, and premium feeds, enabling organizations to monitor threats efficiently. It eliminates the manual consolidation of data and speeds up the process exponentially. The platform also enables automated alerts for specific vendors, threat actors, Malware, and more to ensure that the most relevant threats are immediately identified and managed.

“Traditional vulnerability assessment processes are tedious and time-intensive and simply cannot keep pace with the speed and contextual intelligence required to quickly and effectively analyze and act on threats,” said Stephen Carter, co-founder and CEO of Nucleus Security. “By automating the process of aggregating intelligence data, presenting the data in a unified view, overlaid with risk-level categorization and business-specific context, Nucleus Vulnerability Intelligence platform streamlines threat assessment and empowers teams to prioritize and take action confidently.”

Critical capabilities of the Nucleus Vulnerability Intelligence Platform include:

• Unified visibility: Consolidates open and premium intelligence sources into a single platform, providing comprehensive threat visibility.
• Automated intelligence: Reduces manual effort with automatic threat monitoring, business-driven alerts, and risk-level categorization.
• Tailored alerts: Delivers business-specific threat alerts, enabling teams to monitor the vast vulnerability landscape and drive actionable insights effectively.
• Risk-based workflows: Streamline risk-based workflows across teams by automatically categorizing risk levels.
• Accelerated assessment: Speed up vulnerability threat assessment and investigation with unified vulnerability intelligence and automated processes.
• Proactive defense: Empower your security teams to proactively hunt for vulnerabilities and mitigate risks before they can be exploited.

“One of the biggest challenges to vulnerability remediation is the ability to quickly analyze available data to determine criticality and relevance to an organization. VM teams struggle without data in a unified format that is relevant to their unique business context. Combined with automated threat assessment and risk level categorization, this takes the manual work out of the equation and allows teams to quickly get from notification to action,” – Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst, IT-Harvest
