Summary

Zenity, an Israel-based cybersecurity startup that secures AI agents inside corporate systems, has raised $125 million in a Series C round led by Norwest, with SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Hitachi Ventures and LG Technology Ventures also participating. The company says its focus is shifting security from models and prompts to the actions agents take once they can execute tasks, make decisions and connect to enterprise systems. Zenity plans to use the capital to expand in Asia-Pacific and Europe, while continuing to target regulated sectors such as financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and energy. The company said adoption is accelerating in Japan, Korea, Singapore and Australia, where AI agents are being deployed across internal workflows as well as customer-facing functions such as support and ticketing. Zenity has about 230 employees, with research based in Tel Aviv and operations headquartered in New York.
