Zenity secured $125 million to lock down autonomous AI agents — confirming that non-human identity security is one of cybersecurity's fastest-growing sectors.
BackgroundZenity was founded by Unit 8200 and Microsoft veterans to secure low-code applications and non-human agent identities. As enterprises deploy autonomous software agents to execute corporate workflows, securing agent permissions has emerged as a high-growth security category.
- The round brings Zenity's total raised capital to $185 million following rapid enterprise adoption across Global 2000 accounts seeking agent oversight.
- New strategic investors include SoftBank Vision Fund 2, LG Technology Ventures, Hitachi Ventures, Qumra Capital, and Intel Capital, broadening its global distribution channel.
- Zenity's platform monitors autonomous agent actions across enterprise systems, preventing rogue actions, credential theft, and unauthorized data transfers in live production environments.
Startup
Oligo raised $60 million as AI-generated code floods production environments — proving that runtime execution defense is essential to filtering software noise.
BackgroundOligo Security focuses on dynamic runtime protection, analyzing open-source library vulnerabilities only when they are actively executed in memory. This targeted monitoring eliminates false positives by ignoring static code vulnerabilities that remain uncalled during operation.
- The round was supported by Ballistic Ventures, Greenfield Partners, and Lightspeed Venture Partners, backing Oligo's expansion into US enterprise sales channels.
- Oligo reported 300% year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue following deep integration into enterprise cloud environments and containerized microservices.
- AWS selected Oligo as an exclusive runtime security partner for AWS Security Hub Extended, validating its real-time memory inspection model for cloud-native applications.
