Show Notes
Third-party risk management has long been a bottleneck for enterprise security, relying on static questionnaires that fail to keep pace with dynamic threats. Lema AI, a startup founded in 2023, is challenging this status quo with an agentic AI platform designed to automate and accelerate vendor risk assessments. Having just secured $24 million in funding, the company aims to move enterprises away from manual spreadsheets toward a continuous analysis model. The platform emulates the behavior of a vulnerability researcher to identify how vendor compromises could specifically impact an enterprise, potentially reducing the time required for new vendor assessments to less than five minutes.
