Capsule Security launches with $7 million to secure AI agents

Israeli startup Capsule Security Ltd. has launched its AI agent runtime security platform with $7 million in new funding. The company aims to address the security gap in AI agent behavior, as reported by Silicon Angle.

Capsule Security's platform monitors and enforces guardrails on AI agent actions in real time, targeting the critical window between an AI agent receiving a prompt and executing an action. This "runtime gap" is where AI agents can be manipulated, exfiltrate data, or misbehave. The company's solution supports platforms like Microsoft Copilot Studio, ServiceNow, and Salesforce Agentforce without requiring proxies or gateways.

Prior to its official launch, Capsule Security was recognized as a finalist in a startup accelerator program. The company also disclosed two previously unknown vulnerabilities, "ShareLeak" in Microsoft Copilot Studio and "PipeLeak" in Salesforce Agentforce, highlighting the need for such security measures.
