Lyrie Raises $2 Million Pre-Seed Funding to Expand AI Agent Security Platform

Lyrie.ai, the autonomous cybersecurity platform developed by OTT Cybersecurity LLC, has announced the completion of a $2 million pre-seed funding round alongside its exit from stealth mode.

The company said it will use the capital to expand platform development, grow its security research team, and advance the deployment of its Agent Trust Protocol (ATP). Lyrie is also preparing for a future Series A round as it looks to scale operations across enterprise and government sectors.

Growing Security Concerns Around AI Agents

Organizations across enterprise and public sectors are increasingly adopting autonomous AI agents for tasks such as managing emails, generating code, executing transactions, and handling sensitive workflows. However, the rapid adoption of these systems has raised concerns around identity verification, authorization controls, and compromise detection.

Lyrie said its platform was built to address these security gaps by providing infrastructure focused on trust, verification, and oversight for AI agents.

Guy Sheetrit, CEO and founder of OTT Cybersecurity LLC, said the current AI agent ecosystem lacks standardized security measures. He added that the company developed an open framework that could be adopted across the broader industry.

Funding to Support Research and Infrastructure

According to the company, the pre-seed funding will support the expansion of its security research division, infrastructure scaling, and the submission process for ATP to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The company also plans to strengthen partnerships with enterprise and government organizations.

Lyrie Introduces Agent Trust Protocol

Alongside the funding announcement, Lyrie introduced the Agent Trust Protocol, an open cryptographic framework designed for AI agent identity verification, delegation, attestation, and revocation.

The company stated that the protocol is royalty-free and that its reference implementation has been released under the MIT license. Lyrie aims to position ATP as a foundational trust layer for AI-driven systems, similar to the role SSL/TLS plays in web security.

Accepted Into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program

OTT Cybersecurity LLC has also been accepted into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program. The initiative supports verified cybersecurity operators working on areas such as vulnerability research, offensive security tooling, and red-team testing within Anthropic’s AI infrastructure.

Platform Features

Lyrie’s platform provides automated offensive and defensive cybersecurity capabilities across multiple stages of the threat lifecycle. Key features include:

• Autonomous penetration testing with proof-of-concept exploit generation and remediation support

• Adversarial AI red-teaming workflows powered by H200 GPU infrastructure

• Coverage aligned with the OWASP ASI 2026 threat catalog

• Autonomous zero-day vulnerability research for compiled software

• Deployment support ranging from consumer hardware to enterprise GPU systems
