AegisAI Emerges From Stealth, Raises $13M for AI-Powered Email Security
AegisAI, a startup specialising in enterprise email security, has emerged from stealth mode, announcing a USD $13 million seed funding round led by Accel and Foundation Capital. The company uses autonomous AI agents to inspect and neutralise threats in real-time.
AegisAI's innovative approach is a response to adversaries using AI to create convincing scams. The platform analyses all message components, including links, attachments, metadata, QR codes, and behavioural patterns, providing real-time autonomous threat detection. The USD $13 million seed round will accelerate product development, expand engineering resources, and support go-to-market efforts. After working with pilot customers, AegisAI reports significant improvements in detection accuracy and operational efficiency. The platform integrates with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace using APIs, enabling deployment without extensive configuration. It also continuously learns from real-world adversarial behaviour and shares threat intelligence across user organisations to detect emerging risks more quickly, reducing false positive rates by up to 90% compared to traditional solutions.
AegisAI's successful seed funding round signals investor confidence in the company's innovative approach to enterprise email security. With its real-time threat detection, reduced false positives, and seamless integration with popular email platforms, AegisAI is poised to make a significant impact in the cybersecurity landscape.
