AI agent security startups are growing fast as enterprises deploy more agents.

Reco recently raised $55 million to expand its security platform. The startup now uses a context graph to map agents to apps and permissions. Ofer Klein, the CEO, noted that companies cannot track deployed agents quickly enough. At one Fortune 100 client, Reco found 21,000 agents the company did not know about. Another customer had an ex-employee create an agent that accessed sensitive Salesforce data. Reco currently connects with over 280 different applications. The firm plans to use new money for hiring and sales efforts.
