The investment will accelerate Ontic’s mission to deliver Connected Intelligence at scale across enterprise and public sector security
Ontic, a leading software platform for connected security intelligence, announced it has raised $230 million in Series C funding led by funds managed by KKR, a global investment firm, with participation from JMI Equity, Silverton Partners, Ridge Ventures and Ten Eleven Ventures. This latest funding will accelerate Ontic’s investment in artificial intelligence, bringing faster, smarter threat detection and automation to security teams. The company will also grow its international presence and continue advancing its platform to support both global enterprises and the U.S. public sector.
Founded in 2017 and based in Austin, Texas, Ontic has built a holistic platform that helps security teams efficiently monitor, analyze, and respond to physical threats concerning an organization’s personnel and facilities. The company has scaled into a product leader in the security space, servicing a wide range of enterprise customers including Fortune 50 companies across technology, financial services and consumer goods.
As the risk environment becomes more complex, organizations are increasingly prioritizing physical security solutions and working to unify fragmented security operations, reinforcing the demand for Ontic’s Connected Intelligence Platform, which acts as a command center to help security teams shift from siloed, reactive operations to proactive programs that surface meaningful insights, improve response, and support smarter business decisions. Ontic aggregates open-source intelligence (OSINT) and external threat signals alongside internal data from systems like HR, legal, IT, and facilities. Spanning risk intelligence, incident management, investigations and case management, the platform eliminates manual processes and delivers a common operating picture across the entire risk landscape from executive protection and workplace violence to insider threats and travel risk.

“Security leaders are being asked to do more than ever track growing volumes of data, work with limited resources, and still show up as strategic partners to the business,” said Lukas Quanstrom, CEO and co-founder of Ontic. “It’s a heavy lift. This investment is about backing them. It’s about giving them a unified platform powered by AI and built for real-world complexity that reduces noise, connects the dots, and helps them lead with clarity and confidence in moments that matter.”
“Ontic has shown a remarkable ability to support security teams across industries from multinational enterprises to federal agencies by addressing the increasingly complex and data-driven nature of security,” said Jake Heller, Partner and Head of Tech Growth Equity, Americas at KKR. “We believe Ontic is setting the standard for what modern security operations should look like. Their platform is built on a foundation of integrated intelligence rather than point solutions and positions them to be a leader in a market that is demanding consolidation, clarity, and scale.”
