Rig Security Raises $12M for AI-Agent Identity

Rig Security has emerged from stealth with funding to solve a growing identity problem: enterprise systems often cannot tell whether an action came from an employee or an AI agent acting through that employee's account.

What happened

The company raised a $12 million seed round, led by Ten Eleven Ventures and Brightmind Partners, with CrowdStrike Falcon Fund participating.

Rig's platform distinguishes actions performed by humans from actions performed by AI agents operating through existing credentials and sessions.

Why it matters

Identity infrastructure was built around users, applications and service accounts.

Agents complicate that model because they frequently act through credentials that already belong to someone else.

That can make audit logs misleading and make it harder to enforce different permissions for human and autonomous activity.

A security team needs to know not only who owns an account, but what entity actually initiated the action.

The bigger picture

Agent identity is likely to become a foundational security category.

As enterprises deploy more autonomous systems, existing identity and access tools will need a way to represent agents explicitly.

That creates opportunities for startups building visibility, policy and authentication layers specifically for machine actors.

Rig's funding reflects the broader shift from securing models themselves toward securing the infrastructure around how agents access real business systems.
