AI安全初创公司AIR宣布完成5000万美元种子轮融资，分两阶段进行，其中Sequoia领投第一轮1000万美元，Greenoaks领投第二轮4000万美元1。公司创始人兼CEO Yair Saban和CTO Niv Hoffman均来自以色列情报部队Unit 82001。
AIR的平台能够帮助企业发现、持续审查和控制AI代理所使用的技能和插件1。该平台建立了类似操作系统驱动程序签名的安全管理体系，可以为合规的交互建立白名单机制，同时拦截不符合安全标准的操作1。根据AIR的数据，其平台过滤掉了在线发现的约27%的插件和技能1。
目前AIR已拥有20多个客户，其中约四分之一为大型企业，在金融服务和制药等受监管行业的需求最为强劲1。公司当前拥有约40名员工1。新融资将主要用于招聘研究人员以及扩展在美国和欧洲的市场1。
AIR, an AI safety startup, has closed $50 million in seed funding across two rounds to help enterprises manage and verify the tools and capabilities deployed by AI agents within their organizations.1 The funding consisted of a $10 million first round led by Sequoia and a $40 million second round led by Greenoaks.1
The platform addresses a critical gap in AI governance by enabling companies to discover AI agents running across their infrastructure, continuously audit the skills and plugins they access, and establish whitelisting mechanisms to block interactions that fail security standards.1 AIR has already attracted over 20 customers, with approximately one-quarter comprising large enterprises, particularly in regulated sectors such as financial services and pharmaceuticals where compliance demands are most stringent.1 The company's filtering systems have removed roughly 27 percent of plugins and skills discovered online, demonstrating the scale of potential security risks.1
AIR was founded by Yair Saban, who serves as Chief Executive Officer, and Niv Hoffman, Chief Technology Officer, both veterans of Israel's Unit 8200 intelligence unit.1 The startup currently employs approximately 40 people and plans to deploy the new capital primarily toward hiring researchers and expanding operations across the United States and Europe.1 The company faces competition from similar platforms including Noma Security, Zenity, Astrix Security, and Operant AI, which have secured substantial funding in recent periods.1
