Milan's Bynario Raises €2.1M Pre-Seed for AI-Driven Application Security

Rather than flagging every potential issue, the platform focuses on confirming which vulnerabilities can actually be exploited within a customer's environment, so security teams can prioritise their work. The company says it is already working with customers across software, cloud and enterprise settings, helping them reduce remediation times and improve visibility into software risk.

The startup gained attention after its researchers used frontier AI models as part of an offensive security research programme, which uncovered vulnerabilities in Apple's operating systems, including macOS.

Pesoli, who is CEO and co-founder, told EU-Startups that attackers are fundamentally driven by incentives, and that as AI lowers the cost of vulnerability research and exploitation, more exploitable flaws become attractive targets, making the task facing defenders increasingly difficult.
