Manifold raises $8 million for AI agent security platform

Manifold, a startup focused on AI detection and response, has secured $8 million in funding to advance its platform designed to secure the expanding use of autonomous AI agents across enterprise endpoints. The company aims to provide robust security for agentic AI as it scales within organizations, according to a recent report by Silicon Angle.

The platform addresses a critical gap in current security models by monitoring the runtime actions of AI agents directly on endpoints, where they can execute commands and interact with systems. Manifold captures agent behaviors, including API calls, file access, and external service interactions, analyzing this telemetry in real time to detect deviations from established baselines. This provides security teams with visibility into agent activity beyond traditional inference layer controls, mapping relationships between agents, tools, and systems. The technology is particularly relevant for environments where AI agents, such as coding agents, operate on employee endpoints and interact with sensitive pipelines.
