Hush Raises $30M for AI-Agent Governance
Hush Security wants every enterprise AI agent to have a registered identity, limited permissions and a complete activity record.
Companies are creating AI agents faster than their security teams can identify and govern them.
What happened
Hush Security raised a $30 million Series A from Akamai Technologies, Battery Ventures and YL Ventures, bringing total funding to $41 million.
Its platform discovers and registers agents, assigns limited permissions and records their actions. The aim is to give security teams a consistent control layer even when agents are built across different models, tools and business departments.
Why it matters
An agent can act like a software user but may operate continuously, create additional credentials and connect several systems. If the organisation cannot see that identity, ordinary access-management rules break down.
Hush is applying familiar principles—least privilege, inventory and audit logs—to a new class of machine worker.
The bigger picture
AI-agent security is separating into a recognisable market. Identity platforms, data-security companies and cloud-security vendors are all moving toward the same control point. Akamai’s participation is strategically notable because established infrastructure companies may distribute agent governance through products customers already use.
