Hush Security Raises $30 Million for AI Agent Governance

The startup will invest in expanding engineering and sales teams, accelerating ecosystem support, and expanding corporate partnerships.

Cybersecurity startup Hush Security today announced raising $30 million in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $41 million.

The fresh investment came from Akamai Technologies and previous backers Battery Ventures and YL Ventures.

Founded in 2024, Tel Aviv-based Hush Security emerged from stealth in September 2025 with a machine access platform that enables organizations to securely control enterprise AI agents and their underlying infrastructure.

With every agent enrolled in a central registry, the solution provides scoped just-in-time (JIT) permissions at runtime, eliminating credentials, logging every action, and offering a centralized kill switch.

Hush’s platform allows organizations to identify agents running in their environments and map the MCPs, tools, and resources they reach and use.

It also enables them to register, control, and secure all agents from a single, central panel, map their permissions, and enforce policies for each action.

Additionally, it maintains a complete audit trail for each AI agent interaction to support investigations, compliance, and governance.

Hush will use the fresh investment to hire new talent across its engineering and sales teams, accelerate IAM and agentic ecosystem support, and expand corporate partnerships.

“Every company already knows how to manage identity for its people and its applications. But now software acts autonomously, on its own initiative, inside your most sensitive systems. AI agents need strict identity, not just API keys. We solved that for non-human identities, and now we’re extending governance to AI agents,” said Hush Security co-founder and CEO Micha Rave.
