Why We Invested in Nucleus Security
Delta-v Capital is excited to announce our recent investment in Nucleus Security, a leader in Unified Vulnerability and Exposure Management. As enterprises expand across IT, cloud, application, and OT environments, security teams are inundated with vulnerability data, creating a clear need for systems that prioritize risk and drive coordinated remediation at scale. Built by practitioners with deep subject matter expertise, Nucleus has emerged as a category leader by enabling organizations to operationalize vulnerability data. Today, the platform supports enterprises and public sector agencies with a single operating layer to assess risk, orchestrate remediation workflows, and maintain consistent, enterprise-wide visibility into security posture.
Nucleus Value Proposition
Modern enterprises operate highly complex security environments, deploying tools across categories multiple like endpoint, vulnerability management, cloud, application security, and OT security. While these tools generate vast amounts of vulnerability data, they rarely operate as a cohesive system, leaving security teams without a clear, consistent view of risk or a scalable way to drive remediation.
Nucleus addresses this gap by serving as the orchestration platform for vulnerability and exposure management. Complementing existing tools, the platform integrates data from more than 200 security, asset, and workflow tools, normalizing and enriching that data with business context and threat intelligence. From this foundation, Nucleus empowers organizations with a single platform to consistently prioritize risk, assign ownership, automate remediation workflows, and track progress across teams.
Critically, Nucleus is built as a neutral orchestration layer. It complements existing scanners, allowing enterprises to unify risk management across IT, cloud, application, and OT environments without vendor lock-in. As a result, Nucleus becomes deeply embedded in security operations, supporting day-to-day execution as well as executive and board-level reporting.
Investment Thesis
We believe Unified Vulnerability and Exposure Management is a large and durable category within a mature cybersecurity program. The volume, velocity, and diversity of vulnerability and exposure data continue to grow, while security teams remain resource-constrained and accountable to boards and regulators. Our view is that Nucleus, with its recent announcements of AI-driven features, trusted data core, and proven delivery model, is best positioned to solve that need.
Our investment in Nucleus reflects our conviction in both the market opportunity and the company’s strong performance. Nucleus has built a high-quality, scaled business, with rapid revenue growth, and great operating metrics. We see the adoption by forward-thinking large enterprises and public sector agencies and validation from industry analysts as evidence of Nucleus position as the leading Unified Vulnerability and Exposure Management platform.
Partnership
We are excited to partner with Steve Carter, Scott Kuffer, and the entire Nucleus team as they scale the business and shape the next phase of enterprise security operations. Delta-v looks forward to working closely with the team as an active board partner, supporting go-to-market execution, federal expansion, and the continued build-out of a category-defining platform.
