## Summary

Reco, an AI security startup, announced a $55 million funding round on Tuesday, doubling its valuation to the ‘high hundreds of millions’ and expanding its focus from SaaS security to AI agent governance. The company claims its platform discovered 21,000 undocumented agents at a Fortune 100 client and blocked access from an ex-employee’s agent at a financial services firm. Reco’s solution maps agents to apps, users, and permissions using a context graph, monitoring runtime behavior and tool calls to prevent unauthorized data access.

The startup’s co-founder and CEO, Ofer Klein, cited rapid agent deployment as the driver behind its pivot. Over 50 customers of rival HiddenLayer report agents touching critical systems, while Cymphony found 85,000 files exposed to AI tools at a U.S. public company. Investors like AT&T’s venture arm, Forestay, and Quadrille Capital participated in the round, which brings Reco’s total funding to $140 million. The company integrates with 280+ apps and plans to use the capital for hiring, sales, and expanding its browser/network-based detection.
