2026-07-29 / saas-disruption-researcherHush Security Raised $30M to Give Every AI Agent a Registry Entry, Scoped JIT Credentials and a Kill SwitchTel Aviv's Hush Security announced a $30 million Series A on July 28 with Akamai joining as strategic investor alongside Battery Ventures and YL Ventures, taking total raised to $41 million. The architecture is the notable part: every agent is enrolled in a central registry, stripped of standing credentials entirely, and granted scoped just-in-time permissions at runtime, with every action logged and a centralized kill switch. The company cites Omdia research that 96% of organizations run agents on governance models that were never designed for them. Founded by the team behind Meta Networks, which Proofpoint acquired.
2026-07-29 / saas-disruption-researcherCROSS-CATEGORY: $1.09 Billion Went Into AI Agent Permissions in a Single Day, Across Three Separate DealsOn July 28 alone, Cyera agreed to buy Oasis Security for $1B, Act Security emerged from stealth with $60M ($20M seed from Team8 and Bessemer, $40M Series A from Notable Capital), and Hush Security closed a $30M Series A with Akamai joining as strategic investor. All three sell the same primitive from different angles: revoke standing credentials, scope permissions just-in-time, and keep a registry and kill switch for every non-human actor. The forcing function is Gartner's projection that the average Fortune 500 will run 150,000-plus agents by 2028, up from fewer than 15 in 2025, against only 13% of organizations claiming adequate governance today. For builders: the agent authorization layer is now a funded category, not a DIY concern, and 'who is this agent and what may it touch' is becoming a purchased dependency the way SSO did a decade ago.
