Pluto Security nabs $42M to help enterprises secure their AI agents

Pluto Security Inc., a provider of artificial intelligence security software, today announced that it has raised $42 million in funding.

The company raised about a fifth of the sum through a seed round led by TLV Partners. The rest arrived in the form of a Series A investment led by Jump Capital. The latter deal also included contributions from several other backers including Skinos, a fund affiliated with Point Software Technologies Ltd. co-founder Shlomo Kramer.

Manually identifying every single AI agent in a corporate network is often prohibitively time-consuming. As a result, administrators can overlook agents that pose cybersecurity risks. Tel Aviv-based Pluto offers a platform designed to address that challenge. It can automatically map out agents across employee endpoints, cloud infrastructure and software-as-a-service applications.

The platform collects detailed telemetry about each agent that it detects. Pluto identifies the AI model that powers an agent, the tool it uses to carry out its work and whether users have added any customizations. Those customizations often take the form of plugins, file repositories that contain prompts and integrations with external applications.
