AIR raises $50M to help companies vet the skills and add-ons AI agents use

AI security startup AIR has raised $50 million for its platform that helps companies vet the skills and add-ons their AI agents use.
According to TechCrunch, AIR's platform can discover agents running inside a company, continuously review any skills and add-ons they rely on, and block unwanted behavior.
As more enterprises wire AI agents into business workflows, the skills and add-ons those agents invoke become a fresh attack surface and compliance risk.
AIR's pitch is to fill that gap by providing visibility and control at the agent-runtime layer, rather than stopping at model-level safeguards.
The funding round signals investor confidence in agent security as a category, with enterprise agent rollouts driving demand for supporting security infrastructure.
What to watch: which agent frameworks and ecosystems AIR supports, and how it fits into existing enterprise security toolchains.
Why it matters
The $50 million round validates agent security as a fast-growing category, as enterprise agent deployments create new demand for vetting and controlling what agents can invoke.
