  "summary": "Obsidian Security has raised $85 million in Series D funding, valuing the company at $1.1 billion, as enterprises grapple with securing autonomous AI agents accessing cloud applications. The funding round, led by Crescent Cove Advisor and participation from Greylock Partners and Menlo Ventures, aims to expand research and development and accelerate market entry as AI agents become more prevalent in enterprise environments. CEO Hasan Imam highlighted the rapid adoption of AI agents interacting with third-party applications, with 65% of enterprise customers already granting AI agents access to SaaS data, creating new security challenges that traditional identity and access management systems are not equipped to address.",
