The news reflects renewed investor confidence in EDA startups. As ChipAgents founder and CEO William Wang told EE Times in a [video interview at DAC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md5137_pFfU), the conference is experiencing a huge renaissance of startups in the sector. Examples include [Ricursive, with $335 million](https://www.eetimes.com/startup-ricursive-to-create-an-end-to-end-ai-model-for-chip-design/) in funding to date; Normal Computing, with $85 million to date; [Cognichip](https://www.eetimes.com/cognichips-artificial-chip-intelligence-will-rely-on-data/), with $93 million to date; Vinci, with its $46 million so far; Hiveware, with $28 million to date; Agentrys, with $25 million; and Architect Labs, with a $24 million seed round announced last month.

Zenity Raises $125 Million Series C To Expand AI Agent Security Platform Zenity has raised $125 million in a Series C financing round led by Norwest to expand its artificial intelligence agent security and governance platform. New investors Qumra Capital, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Hitachi Ventures and LG Technology Ventures joined the round. Existing investors Vertex Ventures, Third Point Ventures, DTCP and Intel Capital also participated. Zenity plans to use the funding to accelerate product development, expand globally and address growing enterprise demand for security products designed specifically for autonomous AI agents. The company will use the financing to expand Zenity Labs and deepen its presence in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. _“As we enter the era of 1 billion agents, our newly announced funding is helping make that vision a reality._ _This investment allows us to bring AI agent security to many more organizations around the world.”_

# SoftBank, Hitachi, LG back Zenity’s $125 million round to police AI agents  Zenity, an Israel-based cybersecurity startup, has raised $125 million as part of a Series C funding round, in a bet that AI risks don’t come from powerful models, but instead from what happens when AI agents are set loose to act on their own. This funding round for the Tel Aviv–based startup, which secures AI agents inside corporate systems, was led by Norwest, with [SoftBank](https://fortune.com/company/softbank-group/) Vision Fund 2, [Hitachi](https://fortune.com/company/hitachi/) Ventures, and [LG](https://fortune.com/company/lg-electronics/) Technology Ventures joining as investors. The round lands as enterprises across Asia-Pacific rush to deploy AI agents that take actions, make decisions, and touch “every aspect of the enterprise,” in the words of Zenity CEO Ben Kliger. “We’re looking into the engine, into what agents are doing behind the scenes, in order to determine if they’re deviating from their intent—if they’re doing things that put the organization, or their clients, or their data at risk,” Kliger says. ## **AI security in the spotlight** By creating an account, I have read and agreed to Fortune's [Terms of Use](https://fortune.com/terms-of-use/?_ptid=%7Bkpdx%7DAAAAs0vSdGDzdgoKY2ZRajJmTTN6ahIQbXNlYTR2dW9vZWY1bTNpcxoMRVhVMDFMN0hNS1RKIiUxODA4c3U4MGRnLTAwMDAzN3ViZXZ1cW5uZDBhYWw3bjhoM2NrKhxzaG93VGVtcGxhdGVKSlpMVFpTV08wTDAyMjUyMAE6DE9UUldQV1dZWVREVlISdi13APAYdGhtZ2Zwa3ZxWg03Ny4yNDcuMTE4LjU5YgNkbGNoqrHL0wZwCHgE) and [Privacy Policy](https://fortune.com/privacy-policy/?_ptid=%7Bkpdx%7DAAAAs0vSdGDzdgoKY2ZRajJmTTN6ahIQbXNlYTR2dW9vZWY1bTNpcxoMRVhVMDFMN0hNS1RKIiUxODA4c3U4MGRnLTAwMDAzN3ViZXZ1cW5uZDBhYWw3bjhoM2NrKhxzaG93VGVtcGxhdGVKSlpMVFpTV08wTDAyMjUyMAE6DE9UUldQV1dZWVREVlISdi13APAYdGht
