Zero-trust security startup Zero Networks Ltd. today announced the launch of AI Segmentation, a set of platform capabilities designed to give businesses ownership-based control over autonomous artificial intelligence agents and prevent AI-driven collective movements across corporate networks.
The new release addresses three gaps that businesses face as AI agents proliferate within their environment: unchecked agent access to critical systems, collective movements accelerated by AI-driven attacks, and compliance functions struggling to keep up with the rate of change.
AI Segmentation introduces three new capabilities. The first, AI Lateral Movement Control, enforces ownership and network-based micro-privilege to cut off the connection paths that attackers or independent agents can use to access critical resources.
The second capability, AI Agent Control, provides visibility into where agents are operating within the environment, what they are accessing and how they are communicating, including shadow AI tools, while enforcing strict limits on all communications.
A third capability, called AI-Powered Compliance and Risk Engine, allows security teams to query network activity live in natural language across billions of connections. It also maps those activities against frameworks such as the European Union’s NIS2 Directive and the Center for Internet Security Benchmarks, which provide dynamic risk scores.
“A lot of vendors are out there selling AI hype. We’re not,” said founder and CEO Benny Lakunishok. “Zero Networks puts businesses in control of AI, full stop. Real-time, deterministic control over AI agents, combined with AI-driven visibility and an integrated Compliance and Risk Engine that continuously identifies risk, assigns tasks to frameworks like NIS2 and CIS, and flags what really matters.”
New AI Segmentation capabilities are now available as part of the Zero Networks platform.
Zero Networks has raised approximately $100 million, including $20 million in December 2023 and $55 million in June. Investors in the company include Highland Europe Ltd., F2 Venture Capital, PICO Venture Partners LP, Venrock Associates and US Venture Partners LP.
