Kenzo Security emerged from stealth mode on Monday with $4.5 million in funding for its agentic AI security operations platform.
Kenzo Security’s platform, which has been in the works for the past 18 months, deploys a network of specialized AI agents that autonomously collaborate to help security teams identify threats and risks and conduct investigations.
The Kenzo platform leverages a security data mesh (alerts, context and telemetry) to power the AI agents, which specialize in functions such as detection, risk, investigation, and normalization.
The company was founded by Harish Singh, who serves as CEO, and Partha Naidu, who leads product development.
Harish previously helped found Lacework and E8 Security. Partha previously led product development at Datadog and CrowdStrike.
Kenzo obtained funding from The General Partnership and Michael Coates, former
CISO of Mozilla and Twitter and Funding Partner at Seven Hill Ventures. The investment will be used to grow sales and engineering teams.
“Every security team is trying to figure out how to leverage AI, but most tools simply wrap
LLMs around Tier 1 alert handling,” said Singh. “Kenzo takes a fundamentally different approach. We’ve built a true platform—not a chatbot— powered by a swarm of specialized agents working together to investigate threats, deploy and tune detections, hunt proactively, and prioritize response in real time.”
