Israeli identity security startup Rig Security Inc. launched today with $12 million in new funding to help enterprises keep watch over the artificial intelligence agents that operate under their employees’ accounts.
Rig’s platform is aimed at a blind spot in how identity activity gets recorded. Coding assistants and autonomous agents seldom sign in under an identity of their own, and whatever they do is logged against the developer or service account that launched them. A production database wiped by an agent looks, in the audit log, like the engineer’s own work.
Founder and Chief Executive Guy Kozliner said AI agents are now the most active identities in an enterprise “and they are acting under human names.” Security teams can see when an account does something dangerous. What they cannot tell, Kozliner said, is whether a person or an agent was behind it, and there is no way to stop the agent without also blocking the employee.
The company’s answer starts with the Rig Identity Correlation Engine, where machine learning models match a single identity as it shows up across identity providers, cloud infrastructure and on-premises systems. Rig said the matching is better than 96% accurate.
Results feed a live graph of which people, service accounts and agents hold access to what. The same platform also handles posture management and threat detection.
Enforcement happens on the endpoint. A lightweight sensor separates an agent’s session from the user’s own and can stop a risky action before it leaves the machine, without interrupting the employee whose identity the agent borrowed. The rest of the platform needs no installed software, and Rig said customers can roll out sensors once it is running.
Fortune 200 companies in financial services, insurance and health care already run Rig in production. The 20-person company said its software now analyzes hundreds of millions of identity events and access signals every month.
Mortgage lender New American Funding LLC is one customer. Bill Harper, its assistant vice president of digital identity, said agents write code and investigate issues across the company, and that traditional identity tools cannot reliably tell their activity apart from the employee’s. Rig shows which agents are running and whose access they are using, and gives the lender control over them “without getting in the employee’s way,” he said.
Kozliner started Rig after working on Wiz Inc. co-founder Ami Luttwak’s team. Chief Technology Officer Nokky Goren was the first engineer at Axis Security Ltd., a network security startup that Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. bought in 2023. Head of Product Michal Haikov is a veteran of Israel’s Unit 8200 and of Flow Security Inc., now part of CrowdStrike Holdings Inc.
Ten Eleven Ventures and Brightmind Partners co-led the seed round. CrowdStrike took part as a strategic investor, and Luttwak was among a group of cybersecurity founders and executives who also put money in.
Most identity tools only point out what is wrong, according to Mark Hatfield, co-founder and partner at Ten Eleven Ventures. Rig connects what it finds to enforcement in real time, he said, so that security teams “can actually act on identity risk, including risk created by AI agents.”
Rig is available now through the AWS Marketplace and the CrowdStrike Marketplace.
