Cyata

Cyata provides a security platform designed to manage and secure AI agents within enterprise environments. The company addresses the challenge that AI agents operate differently from traditional identities, often being created through prompts, accessing sensitive systems, and disappearing without standard audit trails or lifecycle management.

The platform offers three core capabilities: discovery, explanation, and control of AI agents. The discovery function provides visibility into all agents across an organization's environment, including those operating through tokens, ephemeral sessions, or SaaS applications.

The explanation capability links agent actions to their underlying intentions, providing context, timelines, and traceability for agent behavior. The control function enables organizations to define policy guardrails that govern agent operations, including automatic shutdowns and predefined human intervention points.

Cyata positions its solution as a control plane for agentic identity, designed to work alongside existing identity and access management infrastructure without requiring replacement of current systems. The platform addresses security concerns specific to AI agents, such as their non-deterministic behavior, ability to hallucinate, misinterpret intent, and overstep defined scopes.

The company has also conducted security research, including coordinated disclosures of vulnerabilities in enterprise credential vaults and AI frameworks like LangChain and Anthropic's MCP servers. Cyata emerged from stealth with $8.5 million in funding and serves enterprise customers requiring governance and oversight of AI agent deployments.
