Hush Security Raises $30 Million Series A to Strengthen AI Agent Security
Article content
Hush Security has secured $30 million in Series A funding, less than a year after closing its seed round, bringing the company's total funding to $41 million.
The round includes Akamai Technologies as a new strategic investor, alongside continued participation from existing backers Battery Ventures and YL Ventures. The fresh capital will support the company's efforts to strengthen security and governance for enterprise AI agents as organisations rapidly expand AI adoption.
Addressing a New Enterprise Security Challenge
As enterprises increasingly deploy AI agents across business operations, security teams are facing a new challenge: managing autonomous systems that can access sensitive applications, infrastructure, and enterprise data.
Hush Security is building technology designed to secure AI agents throughout their lifecycle, helping organisations manage identities, permissions, governance, and infrastructure from a unified platform.
The company believes AI security must extend beyond the models themselves to include the environments where autonomous agents are created, deployed, and operated.
Funding to Accelerate Platform Growth
The Series A funding will be used to expand Hush Security's platform, deepen integrations across the AI development ecosystem, and accelerate product development focused on AI identity and access management.
The company also plans to strengthen partnerships with enterprise customers while continuing to build security capabilities that address the growing operational complexity of AI-powered software development.
According to Hush Security, several Fortune 500 organisations are already using its platform as enterprises prepare for large-scale deployment of AI agents across their environments.
Looking Ahead
As AI agents move from experimentation into production environments, governance, identity management, and infrastructure security are becoming strategic priorities for enterprise security teams.
With fresh funding, new strategic backing from Akamai Technologies, and growing enterprise adoption, Hush Security is positioning itself to help organisations build and operate AI systems with stronger security controls from the outset.
