The RiskIQ founders just raised $100M because your EDR can't see AI agents attack

Ent just raised $100M in seed funding. One of the largest cybersecurity seeds in history.

Founded by the duo who built RiskIQ, sold it to Microsoft for $500M+, and then launched Microsoft Security Copilot. They left because the problem still wasn't solved.

Here's the structural issue your CISO is ignoring:

Traditional EDR detects malicious code. But AI agents don't write malicious code.

A coding agent with production access looks identical to a developer doing real work. An employee exfiltrating data through approved file-sharing triggers zero malware alerts.

Your security stack asks: "Is this malicious?"
The real question is: "Should this agent or person be doing this right now?"

That's the gap Ent fills. Intent-aware prevention. A lightweight agent on every endpoint that evaluates behavioral patterns of humans AND AI agents in real time, then enforces policy before the action completes.

CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender are built for a world where attacks look like attacks. That world is gone.

Advisory board: former NSA director, former CISOs from Google, Aetna, MassMutual, former VP of Microsoft Azure Cloud Security. Global 2000 customers already deployed across hospitality, financial services, and defense.

EDR hits $7.2B this year. By 2034 it's $46B. Every dollar of that growth assumes your agents behave like humans. They won't.

Audit your endpoint coverage today. If your EDR vendor can't explain how they handle autonomous agent behavior, you're running on legacy assumptions in a real-time threat environment.

SIGNAL: The team that built Microsoft's security AI just bet $100M that your existing endpoint security is blind to autonomous agents. Your CISO's budget assumptions need to change.
