AegisAI raises $36M from ex-Google security execs to fight AI-driven spear phishing

TechCrunch·medium signal

AegisAI landed $36M to deploy AI agents that analyze each inbound message the way a human analyst would, catching anomalies that rule-based checklists miss, per TechCrunch on July 23. The founders are former Google security executives. The underlying thesis — that LLM-generated phishing has broken signature and heuristic detection — is the more durable takeaway than the round itself.
