Zenity: AI agents, not models, are the real threat

Security experts say the real threat from AI isn't what AI models say, but what AI agents do. This insight comes from Tamir Ishay Sharbat, Director of Security Research at Zenity, a company that recently raised $125 million in funding. Zenity's research team was among the first to identify this distinction. They believe security research is about turning over every stone and pulling on elusive threads. Ishay Sharbat also notes that the field is increasingly about enabling AI, rather than AI enabling us. Zenity provides an AI security and governance platform for AI agents. The company was founded in 2021 and has 260 employees. This perspective highlights a critical shift in understanding and addressing AI security risks.
