Key points
- Sentra secured $150M from Capital One Ventures and other investors to expand its data-security platform for AI agents
- Platform classifies sensitive data and maps permissions before agents access it, reducing unintended exposure risks
- Funding targets visibility into agent behavior, least-privilege access, and faster containment of unexpected actions
Sentra’s platform combines discovery, access governance, and response capabilities to manage data security posture. It identifies sensitive records, maps permissions, and removes redundant or high-risk data before agents interact with it. The company emphasizes analyzing data in situ rather than transferring it to a separate system, reducing the need for additional security copies. Yoav Regev, Sentra’s CEO, noted that AI agents now consume vast amounts of enterprise data, often inheriting ungoverned access. The investment will also support visibility into agent behavior, least-privilege access controls, and faster containment of unexpected actions. Sentra was founded in 2021 by Yoav Regev, Asaf Kochan, Ron Reiter, and Yair Cohen.
