Capsule Security Emerges From Stealth With $7 Million in Funding

The Israeli startup aims to secure AI agents at runtime, continuously monitoring their behavior to prevent unsafe actions.

Cybersecurity funding

Capsule Security, an Israeli startup aiming to add a security layer to agentic AI, today emerged from stealth mode with $7 million in seed funding.

Founded in 2025 by Naor Paz and Lidan Hazout, Capsule continuously monitors AI agents’ behavior to prevent manipulation, abnormal behavior, and data exfiltration.

The Tel Aviv-based company’s solution provides visibility into agents’ actions and intervenes at runtime to correct anomalous or unsafe activities.

It operates as an independent layer that can be used with multiple frameworks, across any environment or tool, to monitor agents’ reasoning, interactions, and execution and block risky commands, tools, and exposures without disrupting the AI.

Capsule’s platform supports models such as Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot Studio, ServiceNow, and Salesforce Agentforce and can be easily integrated into existing workflows to secure both third-party and custom agent deployments.

The startup is a finalist for CrowdStrike’s latest Startup Accelerator. Its fresh investment round was led by Lama Partners and Forgepoint Capital International.

“AI agents are quickly becoming a new class of privileged user in the enterprise, except they can act at machine speed and they do not behave like deterministic software,” Paz, who serves as Capsule’s CEO, said.

“That creates a dangerous gap between what security teams can govern today and what agents can do in production. Capsule closes that gap by enforcing trust at runtime, inside the execution path, so teams can move fast with agents while staying in control of what those agents can access and execute,” he continued.
