Opsin Raises $21M to Secure AI Agents for Enterprises

SAN JOSE, Calif., October 15, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Opsin, an AI governance and security platform, has raised $21 million in funding from investors SYN Ventures and Race Capital. The company aims to help enterprises manage and secure AI agents as they gain access and autonomy, addressing the growing risk of rogue AI agents.

Founded by MIT alumnus James Pham, cybersecurity veteran Oz Wasserman, and longtime engineering leader Jeremy Mailen, Opsin has created a platform to provide security teams with visibility and control over AI agents. The platform connects an agent's purpose, permissions, data access, tools, and activity to build a comprehensive picture of how and why an AI agent operates. This allows security teams to identify when access or behavior deviates from the intended purpose and address issues before they become security incidents.

According to Opsin, 93% of misaligned tools connected to AI agents have full, unrestricted access to the systems they are connected to. Only one in 200 agents requires human approval before taking action, giving them significant freedom to act without human intervention. This highlights the urgent need for companies to have robust security measures in place to monitor and control AI agents.

Opsin's platform is designed to work with various enterprise-approved AI tools, including Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Gemini. The company serves nearly 20 enterprise customers, including Culligan, Barry-Wehmiller, Wellstar Health System, and UiPath, across industries such as healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and other regulated sectors.

The new funding will enable Opsin to expand its platform and provide enterprises with the visibility and control they need to ensure their AI agents behave as intended. As AI agents take on greater responsibility and become more embedded in how work gets done, Opsin aims to provide the security foundation beneath that shift, protecting businesses as agents work across applications, processes, and platforms.

In an analysis of AI agent activity across enterprise customers, Opsin found that 93% of misaligned tools connected to agents had full, unrestricted access to the systems they were connected to. Just 1 in 200 required human approval before taking action, giving agents significant freedom to act without human intervention. The risk is particularly acute when agents are given broad permissions with limited human oversight.

Opsin already serves nearly 20 enterprise customers, including Culligan, Barry-Wehmiller, Wellstar Health System, and UiPath, across industries including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and other regulated sectors. With the new funding, Opsin will expand its platform in pursuit of its goal to give enterprises the visibility and control they need to ensure their AI agents behave as intended.
