▼ Summary
– Konvu, an AI-native vulnerability triage platform, won the inaugural Infosecurity Europe Cyber Startup competition, beating four other contenders.
– As the winner, Konvu received a prize package including an exhibition stand at Infosecurity Europe 2027, PR support, and a brand workshop.
– Konvu automates vulnerability investigation by connecting to existing scanners, running agent-driven checks, and delivering evidence-backed exploitability decisions.
– CEO Lucas Masson noted that while AI models are improving at finding vulnerabilities, attackers also benefit, shrinking the window between discovery and exploitation.
– The judging panel praised Konvu for helping organizations prioritize vulnerabilities and noted its strong product pipeline and expansion roadmap.
Konvu, an agentic AI triage management platform, has been named the winner of the first-ever Infosecurity Europe Cyber Startup competition.
The award was presented live on stage in the Cyber Startups Zone at Infosecurity Europe 2026, where the AI-native vulnerability triage platform outperformed four other finalists in front of an audience of prospective customers, partners, and investors.
As the competition’s victor, Konvu will receive a prize package that includes an exhibition stand at Infosecurity Europe 2027, public relations support from cybersecurity specialist Origin Communications, and a future-brand workshop from Dusted brand consultancy.
“I have been really impressed by the pitches here, so it means a lot that our solution resonated with the judges,” said Lucas Masson, CEO of Konvu.
Konvu functions as an AI-native vulnerability triage platform designed to automate investigation. It integrates with the scanners that enterprises already rely on, running agent-driven checks across code, configuration, and optional runtime signals. The platform then delivers evidence-backed exploitability decisions directly into existing workflows.
“Frontier models like Mythos are getting very good at finding new vulnerabilities, but the same capability is in attackers’ hands, so the window between discovery and exploitation is collapsing,” Masson explained.
“Detection is heading toward being largely automated, which moves the bottleneck onto the enterprises who have to triage and fix. That’s where Konvu cuts the load off security teams and remediates at the speed attackers now operate,” he added.
The judging panel noted that they were impressed by how Konvu helps organizations determine which vulnerabilities require fixing and which should be prioritized. The panel also highlighted Konvu’s impressive product pipeline and clear roadmap for future expansion.
