Autonomous Container Vulnerability Remediation Platform

Root (formerly Slim.AI) delivers agentic container security designed to automate vulnerability remediation without slowing down development. Its core technology, Agentic Vulnerability Remediation (AVR), identifies and fixes flaws within containerized environments in roughly 180 seconds, closing the gap between scans and applied patches. Root performs direct, automated image modification without requiring code changes, rebasing, or pipeline adjustments, preserving existing CI/CD workflows while enforcing security protocols and producing audit-ready remediation documentation.

The company has raised a reported $37.6 million, including a $31 million series A co-led by Insight Partners and StepStone Group with participation from boldstart Ventures, Decibel Partners, FXP, Knollwood, and TechAviv Founder Partners.
