AegisAI, a startup founded by former Google security executives, has raised $36 million in Series A funding to combat spear phishing using AI agents. The company's technology analyzes emails for subtle anomalies to detect AI-crafted malicious messages.
Former Google security executives Cy Khormaee and Ryan Luo launched AegisAI to combat AI-powered spear phishing. The startup uses AI agents that analyze emails like a human, catching subtle anomalies that rule-based systems miss. AegisAI has raised $36 million in Series A funding led by Battery Ventures, with participation from Accel and Foundation Capital, bringing total funding to $49 million. The technology has been adopted by customers including crypto payments company Mesh, AI startup LangChain, and privacy compliance platform Lokker. The founders believe their AI agents can outperform traditional email security tools and plan to expand into data security.
