Onyx Security Launches With $40 Million in Funding

"Onyx Security has built a secure AI control plane that allows organizations to manage AI agents and rapidly adopt them across their environments. The solution was designed to continuously discover AI agents across cloud, endpoints, code, and SaaS deployments, to monitor them, and to approve or correct their actions, enforcing the enterprise's security and governance policies."

"Onyx uses supervisory agents and proprietary AI models to understand AI reasoning and react in real time, providing organizations with visibility, control, optimization capabilities, and means to measure AI agent adoption. The startup's supervisory AI, the Onyx Guardian Agent, continuously monitors assets to identify risks and address issues, enabling businesses to manage large numbers of agents at scale."

"Maxim and Gil saw the need for an AI control plane before the market did. While most of the industry was still focused on data loss in chatbots, they predicted that the risk surface of agents was going to be critical. Onyx is the control plane all enterprises will need as they scale to thousands of agents."

Onyx Security, founded by Israeli defense veterans Bar Kogan and Gil Elbaz, has launched with $40 million in funding from Conviction and Cyberstarts. The company developed a secure AI control plane enabling organizations to discover, monitor, and manage AI agents across multiple deployment environments while enforcing security and governance policies. Using supervisory agents and proprietary AI models, Onyx provides real-time visibility and control over AI agent actions. The Guardian Agent continuously monitors assets to identify risks and address issues at scale. Based in Tel Aviv and New York with over 70 employees, Onyx is already working with multiple large enterprises. The funding will support product expansion, engineering team growth, new AI model development, and go-to-market scaling.
