A cybersecurity startup focused on monitoring AI agents is raising new capital as enterprises rush to deploy agentic tools that act inside corporate systems. Zenity, an Israel-based firm, announced a $125 million Series C aimed at securing AI agents by tracking actions in real time and blocking or altering behavior if it drifts from intended purposes. The funding round was led by Norwest and included SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Hitachi Ventures, and LG Technology Ventures, with stated expansion plans across Asia-Pacific and Europe. Zenity positions its approach as distinct from earlier AI security tactics that centered on prompts or auditing outputs after the fact. For higher education technology leaders, the relevance is direct: universities increasingly deploy AI assistants for administrative workflows, research support, and classroom tools that can touch student and research data. Agent monitoring frameworks may become part of institutional security postures and procurement requirements.
