AI security company Zenity completes $125 million Series C funding round, led by Norwest Venture Partners

Odaily News: Israeli AI security startup Zenity has completed a $125 million Series C funding round, betting on the new security risks introduced by enterprise deployment of AI agents. The round was led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Hitachi Ventures, and LG Technology Ventures, among others.

Zenity's core product monitors AI agents' operations in enterprise environments in real time, determining whether their behavior deviates from preset goals, and blocking or adjusting actions that could compromise corporate data, customer assets, or system security. Zenity co-founder and CEO Ben Kliger stated that in the past, AI security primarily focused on the models themselves and user prompt inputs, but as AI agents begin to autonomously execute tasks, make decisions, and connect to enterprise systems, the security focus is shifting toward "agent behavior itself."
