NeuralTrust Secures $20M to Tackle Enterprise AI Agent Security Gap
Event summary
- NeuralTrust raised $20M in seed funding, the largest cybersecurity seed round for an EU company to date.
- The round was led by Alstin Capital with participation from 7 other investors, including public funding from the European Innovation Council and Spain's State Research Agency.
- The funding will accelerate engineering, product integration, and expansion across the European market.
- NeuralTrust's platform includes TrustGate, TrustGuard, and TrustLens for securing AI agents across enterprise environments.
- 92% of NeuralTrust's customers report annual revenues above $1B, with 80% based in Europe.
The big picture
NeuralTrust's funding comes as AI agents transition from experimentation to core enterprise infrastructure, outpacing current governance frameworks. Gartner predicts that by 2028, Fortune 500 companies will operate over 150,000 agents each, yet only 13% feel prepared to manage them. NeuralTrust aims to fill this gap with its platform, which provides a unified enforcement layer for securing AI agents across diverse platforms and endpoints.
