Kenzo Security, a new player in the cybersecurity space, recently revealed its $4.5 million funding. The company introduced an innovative AI-powered security platform after 18 months of development. The platform uses specialized AI agents that work autonomously to detect threats and assist security teams with investigations. These agents collaborate through a network powered by a security data mesh that handles alerts, telemetry, and context.
The AI agents within Kenzo’s platform specialize in functions like threat detection, risk management, investigation, and data normalization.
Kenzo’s unique approach leverages a system that improves security operations by using a mesh that centralizes the relevant security data. By integrating this data across the platform, it provides security teams with the right information at the right time, enabling more efficient and faster decision-making. This AI-driven approach aims to streamline how security teams identify and mitigate risks.
The platform’s co-founders, Harish Singh and Partha Naidu, bring significant experience in the security field. Harish Singh, who previously helped found Lacework and E8 Security, is now CEO of Kenzo. Partha Naidu, who led product development at Datadog and CrowdStrike, heads the platform’s development. Together, they have created a security solution that diverges from traditional methods by moving beyond large language models and chatbots, focusing instead on a robust, collaborative AI-driven platform.
Kenzo Security’s latest funding will fuel expansion efforts, focusing on increasing sales and engineering teams. The investment was led by The General Partnership and Michael Coates, a former CISO at Mozilla and Twitter. Kenzo’s vision is to provide a new approach for security teams looking to leverage AI, enabling real-time threat detection and response prioritization.
