AIR raises $50M to vet skills and add-ons used by AI agents
Startup AIR raised $50 million for a platform that discovers AI agents running inside a company, continuously vets the skills and add-ons those agents use, and can block unwanted behavior.
Why it matters: As companies plug growing numbers of third-party skills and tools into autonomous agents, the resulting supply chain of agent capabilities becomes a fresh attack surface—AIR's raise is a bet that agent governance and vetting will become as necessary as SaaS security posture management was for the cloud era.
