Zenity Secures $125 Million Series C
New York-based Zenity has raised $125 million in Series C funding to expand its AI security and governance platform designed for enterprise AI agents.
The round was led by Norwest, with participation from new investors Qumra Capital, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Hitachi Ventures, and LG Technology Ventures. Existing investors Vertex Ventures, Third Point Ventures, DTCP, and Intel Capital also participated.
The funding will support global expansion, platform innovation, research, and growing enterprise demand for AI agent security.
Securing Enterprise AI Agents
Founded by Ben Kliger and Michael Bargury, Zenity develops an AI security and governance platform built specifically for autonomous AI agents.
Rather than focusing only on AI models or prompts, the platform secures AI agents that can:
Access enterprise systems
Retrieve sensitive data
Use business tools
Execute workflows
Make operational decisions
Zenity analyzes an agent's intent and determines whether an action should be allowed, modified, or blocked before execution.
The platform supports AI ecosystems including:
Microsoft Copilot
ChatGPT Enterprise
Google Gemini
Claude
Codex
Cursor
AWS Bedrock
AgentCore
Microsoft Foundry
Google Vertex AI
Strong Enterprise Adoption
According to the company, Zenity is trusted by many Fortune 500, Fortune 50, and Global 2000 organizations across industries including:
Financial services
Healthcare
Pharmaceuticals
Technology
Manufacturing
Energy
The company says it has tripled revenue in each of the past two years and expects to triple revenue again this year.
Funding to Accelerate Growth
Zenity will use the new capital to:
Expand globally, particularly across Europe and Asia-Pacific
Accelerate platform innovation
Grow Zenity Labs, its AI security research division
Continue developing enterprise AI governance capabilities
The company currently employs more than 230 people, with research and development based in Tel Aviv and commercial operations led from New York.
Advancing AI Agent Security
Zenity says enterprise AI security has evolved beyond protecting models alone, requiring governance for increasingly autonomous AI agents operating across business systems.
Through its research division, Zenity Labs, the company has published security research focused on AI agent vulnerabilities and contributes to industry initiatives including OWASP and MITRE ATLAS, helping shape emerging AI security standards.
