Pluto Security raised $42 million in total funding, combining an $8.5 million seed round led by TLV Partners with a $34 million round led by Jump Capital, according to TechCrunch and TheNextWeb.
The startup's platform monitors the AI agents, apps and automations employees build at work, flagging risky components and intervening in real time, for example by stopping an agent from gaining unauthorized permissions, TechCrunch reported.
Pluto said about 60% of the risks it detects come from AI tools built by non-developers in finance, marketing and legal departments, rather than from engineering teams. The company counts Oscar Health, Workato, Sixt and AlphaSense among its more than 30 enterprise customers, TechCrunch reported.
Chief executive Shahar Bahat said the company is "moving from user behavior to agent behavior," reflecting a focus on monitoring what AI agents do rather than just the employees who deploy them, according to TechCrunch. Pluto has sold to enterprise customers since launching sales in April 2026 and has surpassed $2 million in annual recurring revenue, the outlet reported.
Security teams historically wrote policy for software employees installed. Pluto is betting the next version of that problem is software employees build themselves with AI, often without security ever finding out it exists, a governance gap most companies have not budgeted for yet.
