Enterprise security startup Cymphony has emerged from stealth with $30 million in total funding, including a $25 million Series A round co-led by Sequoia Capital and SMBC Fin Atlas Beyond Fund. The round values the New York- and Tel Aviv-based company at over $100 million post-money. The investment follows an early undisclosed seed round from Sequoia made prior to the startup establishing its product direction.
Cymphony targets the security gaps created by autonomous AI agents, which access corporate data and systems at machine speed without traditional human identity controls. At the core of its platform is a “workforce graph” that unifies identity, data, and activity signals across employees, AI agents, and non-human identities. Cymphony claims it has already onboarded a double-digit number of enterprise customers and achieved seven figures in annual recurring revenue within its first year of sales.
The platform automates incident investigation, risk prioritization, and permission remediation using AI agents, alongside offering a managed service option. As enterprises rapidly deploy autonomous agents, Cymphony aims to provide security teams with centralized visibility to prevent unsanctioned access and exposure of sensitive corporate files.
