Cisco is reportedly acquiring Israeli startup Astrix Security for up to $350 million to address AI security gaps. The move aims to secure the growing risks created by AI agents and non-human identities within large organizations.
Cisco is closing in on a deal to buy Astrix Security. The Israeli startup specializes in non-human identity security, discovering AI agents and detecting threats in real time. Astrix's platform is designed to secure AI agent adoption. The company has raised $85 million in funding, with investors including Menlo Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners. Cisco's acquisition of Astrix is strategically timed, addressing a critical security gap. Large enterprises are adding AI systems faster than security teams can catalogue them, creating a blind spot for traditional IAM controls.
