Hush Security raises $30m to secure AI agents for enterprises

Hush Security, a cybersecurity startup based in Tel Aviv, has raised $30 million in Series A funding, totaling $41 million since its inception in 2024. The funding comes from Akamai Technologies, Battery Ventures, and YL Ventures. The company focuses on a machine access platform that allows organizations to manage AI agents securely by providing just-in-time permissions without credentials, tracking actions, and enabling a centralized control panel for agent management.

The investment will be used for expanding teams and partnerships, focusing on identity and access management (IAM), and governance for AI agents. CEO Micha Rave emphasizes the need for strict identity management for non-human entities operating in sensitive systems.
