Tenet Security raises $6 million to stop rogue AI agents

Tenet Security, founded by Barak Sternberg and Nevo Poran and headquartered in the US after originating from Israel, focuses on real-time detection and prevention of dangerous AI agent behavior. Their patent-pending technology addresses threats from both runaway and malicious AI agents, termed 'agentjacking.' Tenet's solution features a lightweight runtime sensor that monitors OS behavior, network activity, and LLM reasoning of agents.

This allows the identification and prediction of harmful actions before they happen. Early deployments have shown success, detecting and blocking numerous attacks. The recent $6 million seed funding will support product development and expand their threat labs and market operations.
