  "account": "Israeli cybersecurity firm Rig Security Inc. has raised $12 million in funding to launch its platform, which aims to monitor AI agents operating under employees' accounts. The startup's technology addresses a blind spot in how identity activity is recorded when AI agents perform tasks. These agents often appear as human names in audit logs, making it difficult for security teams to distinguish between human activity and AI agent actions. Rig's solution begins with the identity correlation engine, which matches identities across various systems with 96% accuracy. This engine provides a live graph showing which people, service accounts, and agents have access to specific resources. In addition to identity correlation, Rig handles posture management and threat detection. Enforcement occurs on the endpoint, with a lightweight sensor separating agent sessions from users, allowing risky actions to be stopped before they leave the machine. Fortune 200 companies in financial services, insurance, and healthcare already run Rig in production. The company's software analyzes hundreds of millions of identity events and access signals monthly. Customers like New American Funding LLC benefit from Rig's ability to identify AI agents and control their access without interfering with employees. Rig's co-founder and CEO, Guy Kozliner, previously worked with Wiz Inc. co-founder Ami Luttwak, while CTO Nokky Goren was a key engineer at Axis Security Ltd., which was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. in 2023. The current leadership includes Head of Product Michal Haikov, a former Israel's Unit 8200 and Flow Security Inc. employee. The funding round was led by Ten Eleven Ventures and Brightmind Partners, with participation from CrowdStrike and several cybersecurity founders and executives.",
