NEW YORK — October 30, 2025 — Astrix Security, the global leader in AI agent and Non-Human Identity (NHI) security, has been named to the Fortune 2026 Cyber 60 list, presented by Lightspeed Venture Partners and AWS, recognizing the most innovative venture-backed cybersecurity companies shaping the future of digital defense.

Selected in the early-growth stage category, Astrix’s inclusion highlights its breakthrough work securing the expanding ecosystem of AI agents, service accounts, and machine-to-machine (M2M) connections that increasingly underpin modern business infrastructure.

Leading the Charge in AI Agent Security

Astrix Security’s recognition reflects its position as the first cybersecurity company purpose-built to protect AI agents — autonomous software entities that act, learn, and make decisions on behalf of organizations.
As enterprises rush to deploy agentic AI across engineering, cloud, and automation pipelines, Astrix provides the guardrails that make this autonomy safe, securing every action, credential, and access path AI agents use.

“Our inclusion on the Fortune Cyber 60 is icing on the cake as agentic AI continues to revolutionize how businesses think, build, and operate,” said Alon Jackson, co-founder and CEO of Astrix Security. “The rise of AI agents and the non-human identities that power them brings incredible potential — but also unprecedented risk. Astrix is proud to be at the forefront, ensuring innovation and security move forward in parallel together.”

Breakthrough Year for Astrix Security

Over the past year, Astrix has achieved major milestones that underscore its market leadership and technical innovation in AI agent protection:

• $85M total funding, including a Series B round led by Menlo Ventures through its Anthology Fund in partnership with Anthropic.
• Publication of the “State of MCP Server Security 2025” report and release of MCP Secret Wrapper, an open-source tool helping organizations eliminate stored credentials and secure Machine Control Plane (MCP) environments.
• Launch of the Astrix AI Agent Control Plane (ACP) — the industry’s first secure-by-design framework for deploying and managing AI agents at enterprise scale.

These advances mark Astrix’s evolution from an NHI security pioneer to a foundational enabler of safe, autonomous AI adoption.

The Discover–Secure–Deploy Framework

At the core of Astrix’s platform lies its Discover–Secure–Deploy methodology — a unified framework that:

1. Discovers all AI agents, service accounts, and non-human identities across cloud and SaaS environments.
2. Secures them through policy-based access control, least-privilege enforcement, and just-in-time (JIT) credential issuance.
3. Deploys AI agents safely with continuous monitoring, guardrails, and visibility into real-time decisions.

By consolidating visibility and control into a single AI Agent Security Platform, Astrix eliminates fragmented identity blind spots and simplifies compliance for enterprise IAM, DevSecOps, and security engineering teams.

Securing the Modern AI Attack Surface

Today, AI agents and non-human identities outnumber humans 100:1, yet most organizations lack the infrastructure to govern their access or monitor their behavior.
Astrix extends traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) into this new frontier — securing how AI agents authenticate, authorize, and interact across distributed systems.

Its capabilities span:

• Secretless authentication for autonomous workloads
• Agentic Just-In-Time (JIT) Access to minimize standing privileges
• Automated privilege remediation
• Comprehensive audit trails and runtime visibility for compliance and incident response

This modern identity fabric ensures AI innovation remains secure, compliant, and explainable — addressing the most urgent risk in the era of autonomous systems.

Industry Recognition and Market Momentum

Astrix’s inclusion in the Fortune Cyber 60 cements its position among the world’s fastest-growing cybersecurity innovators, alongside other high-impact startups defining the next decade of digital trust.
The list evaluates over 500 venture-backed companies on growth trajectory, innovation, and market influence, spotlighting those reshaping the cybersecurity landscape.

Since its founding in 2021, Astrix has built deep trust among Fortune 1000 enterprises including Workday, NetApp, Priceline, Figma, Hubspot, and Workato. The company’s research-driven innovation and pragmatic approach to securing machine identities have set the benchmark for how enterprises manage autonomous AI risk.
