About Zenity

Zenity develops a security and governance platform for AI agents used within enterprises. The company was founded in 2021 by Michael Bargury and Ben Kliger, and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

The platform is designed to give security teams visibility into AI agents built on low-code and generative AI platforms, such as Microsoft Copilot Studio and Salesforce Agentforce, tracking their behavior and permissions from development through production. Zenity's tools target risks associated with autonomous AI agents, including data exposure, prompt injection, and unauthorized actions taken by agents operating within business applications.

Zenity has raised funding from investors including Vertex Ventures, Third Point Ventures, and Cisco Investments, among others, across multiple rounds. The company has grown its workforce as demand for enterprise AI agent security tooling has increased alongside broader adoption of generative AI and agentic systems.

Competitive Landscape

Who Zenity competes with, and how they differ.

HiddenLayer logo
HiddenLayer6.9/10

The closest pure-play AI security peer: both discover AI assets and add runtime protection. HiddenLayer centres on the model layer — model scanning, AI supply-chain security and adversarial-ML attack simulation — while Zenity works at the agent and copilot application layer inside Microsoft, Salesforce, OpenAI and AWS platforms, governing what deployed agents are allowed to do.

N
Noma Security

The most direct head-to-head rival: another Israeli-founded AI agent security platform selling AI security posture management plus runtime guardrails to enterprise CISOs, and it raised $100M in July 2025 to chase the same buyers. Noma leans more toward the AI/ML development pipeline and self-built agents; Zenity leans toward agents built on packaged SaaS platforms such as Copilot Studio and Agentforce.

Palo Alto Networks logo
Palo Alto Networks8.2/10

Attacks the same problem as a platform incumbent through Prisma AIRS, which added agentic AI protection in 3.0, backed by the Protect AI and Portkey acquisitions. It bundles AI security into an enterprise-wide network and cloud security contract, whereas Zenity sells as a standalone AI-agent-specific product that can be bought without displacing an existing security stack.

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. logo
CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.8.3/10

Entered enterprise AI security by acquiring Pangea for $260M in September 2025, extending Falcon into AI detection and response for employee and agent use of GenAI. CrowdStrike leads with endpoint and identity telemetry and an existing agent on the box; Zenity is agentless and derives its signal from the SaaS and low-code platforms where business agents are actually built.

SentinelOne, Inc. logo
SentinelOne, Inc.8.1/10

Bought Prompt Security in August 2025 for roughly $250M to add GenAI and copilot security to its XDR platform, overlapping Zenity on prompt-injection defence and shadow-AI discovery. SentinelOne's route to market is the existing endpoint and SIEM footprint; Zenity competes on depth of coverage for agent build-time posture and per-agent policy rather than breadth of platform.
