By Ionut Arghire | August 4, 2026 (9:40 AM ET) Flipboard Reddit Whatsapp Whatsapp Email AI security and governance company Zenity has raised $125 million in a Series C funding round that brings its total raised to $180 million. The investment round was led by Norwest, with additional support from Qumra Capital, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Hitachi Ventures, LG Technology Ventures, and previous backers Vertex Ventures, Third Point Ventures, DTCP, and Intel Capital. Since its inception in 2021, Tel Aviv-based Zenity has been helping organizations securely adopt AI through understanding agents’ intent and deterministically allowing, modifying, or blocking their actions. The company’s platform can distinguish between legitimate work and manipulated, compromised, or rogue behavior to prevent nefarious agent operations before they can harm an organization. Zenity provides enterprises with a unified security layer covering a broad spectrum of agentic AI frameworks, including Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Gemini, Claude Codex, and Cursor, as well as custom-built systems in Bedrock, AgentCore, Foundry, and Vertex AI. Additionally, through Zenity Labs, the company hunts for vulnerabilities in agentic AI platforms, including zero-click attacks that could silently hijack enterprise AI agents for data exfiltration and system compromise.

The new funding will accelerate product innovation, Zenity Labs’ expansion, and global presence widening. “As enterprises rapidly adopt AI agents across critical workflows, organizations need a new approach to security built for this new and continuously evolving reality,” Norwest partner Assaf Harel said. “Zenity has an early mover advantage in building end-to-end AI agent security and the largest and rapidly growing footprint of successful implementation across Fortune 1000 customers. The company is in pole position to emerge as a category leader,” Harel added.
