  "summary": "Cymphony, an enterprise AI security startup, has emerged from stealth with $30 million in funding. The company received a $25 million Series A investment co-led by Sequoia and SMBC Fin Atlas Beyond Fund, which values Cymphony at over $100 million.\n\nThe startup aims to address new security risks arising from AI agents accessing sensitive corporate data and systems at machine speed. As these AI agents do not necessarily go through the same access and identity controls as employees, it can be hard for enterprises to track who has access to what.\n\nCymphony's platform provides security teams with a single view of employees, AI agents, and other non-human identities, including the systems and sensitive data they can access. The company's \"workforce graph\" brings together identity, data, and activity signals to achieve this.",
