Zenity sells a security and governance platform for AI agents. The company describes it as built for agents running in three places: SaaS tools, homegrown cloud systems and end-user devices.[1]
The platform analyzes an agent's intent and can allow, modify or block an action before it happens. Zenity says it supports agents built on Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Gemini, Claude, Codex and Cursor, plus custom systems built on AWS Bedrock and AgentCore, Microsoft Foundry and Google Vertex AI.[2]
Zenity Labs, the company's research group, has published work on security flaws involving AI agents and connected enterprise services. Its AgentFlayer research identified zero-click attacks that can hijack AI agents.[2]
Ben Kliger, the CEO, and Michael Bargury, the CTO, founded Zenity after working on the Azure and cloud security teams at Microsoft. They launched the company in 2021.[3],[4]
Zenity started out securing applications built on low-code and no-code tools. It connected to those platforms through APIs, pulled in metadata about the programs being built, and looked for security problems such as exposed data. The pivot to securing AI agents came later; the current positioning is agent security and governance.[4]
Zenity came out of stealth in November 2021 with a $5 million seed round led by Vertex Ventures and UpWest. In 2023 it raised a $16.5 million Series A led by Intel Capital, with existing investors Vertex Ventures and UpWest and new investors Gefen Capital and B5.[3],[4]
A $38 million Series B followed. The press release is headlined "Zenity Raises $38M Series B Funding Round to Secure Agentic AI". The copy we could open is a later republication, and a CTech report on the round is dated late October 2024, so treat the exact date as approximate. The release does not say who led.[5]

Corma, Zenity and Horizon3 raised a combined $435 million in the first ten days of August for AI-agent and AI-driven cybersecurity defense, three separate bets that defensive tooling is under-capitalized relative to offensive AI capability.
K2 Space, Zenity, HappyRobot and Convex raised a combined ~$832M in eight days -- satellites, AI-agent security, enterprise agents and AI-native backend infrastructure, not a single foundation model among them.
Norwest led a $125M Series C for Zenity, which monitors and governs the AI agents enterprises are wiring into sensitive systems, bringing the New York- and Tel Aviv-based company's total funding to about $185M.
