Lasso Security

What Lasso Security does

Lasso Security is an enterprise AI security platform provider founded in 2023 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. The company sells to enterprise security teams and federal agencies seeking to govern the deployment of generative AI applications and autonomous AI agents across their organizations. Its flagship offering, the Lasso AI Security Platform, integrates five capabilities in a continuous loop: Discovery & AI-BOM, AI Security Posture Management, Automated AI Red Teaming with a 3,000+ attack library, Runtime Enforcement at the proxy/API/AI Gateway layer, and AI Detection & Response aligned to MITRE and OWASP frameworks. In February 2026 the company introduced the Intent Security framework and the Intent Deputy product, applying behavioral fingerprinting to AI agents in real time at sub-50ms latency with 99.83% claimed accuracy.

The platform is delivered through a quote-based enterprise sales motion with a site-wide "Book a Demo" funnel, targeting CISOs and CIOs in financial services, healthcare, and public sector verticals. Lasso is vendor-agnostic across Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, and OpenCode coding assistants and integrates natively with the dominant AI gateways (Kong, Portkey, LiteLLM, Envoy). Revenue is generated through enterprise subscription contracts to the AI Security Platform with a land-and-expand motion across the five capability modules. The company has raised approximately $30.5 million in disclosed funding across a $6M seed (Nov 2023, Entrée Capital + Samsung Next), a 2024 round of $6.5M, an $8M round in March 2025, and a $10M round in October 2025 (Mindset Ventures), and reports a customer base that includes the US Department of Homeland Security, Fiverr, eToro, Delek US, Kaltura, Telit Cinterion, Compugen, and other enterprise and federal logos.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise AI Security Platform subscription: B2B SaaS-style subscription to the Lasso AI Security Platform sold to enterprise and federal agency customers; revenue is generated through quote-based enterprise contracts (pricing is not publicly disclosed); expansion motion is land-and-expand across AI-BOM, posture management, red teaming, and runtime modules.
2. Professional services and advisory (implied): Enterprise sales motion including onboarding, AI-BOM rollout, posture assessment, and red-team engagements; not separately disclosed but consistent with enterprise SaaS deployment for security platforms.

Core offering

Lasso Security provides an enterprise AI security platform that discovers every AI agent and application across an organization, continuously tests them with automated red teaming, and enforces runtime policies at the AI gateway layer. Its proprietary Intent Security framework analyzes the behavioral intent of AI agents rather than just content, enabling real-time detection of prompt injection, data leakage, tool poisoning, and intent drift. The platform is sold to enterprises and federal agencies to secure adoption of generative AI and autonomous AI agents.

Product overview

Lasso Security is a single unified AI Security Platform (the Lasso AI Security Platform) anchored by its proprietary Intent Security framework and the Intent Deputy product, offered as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core platform integrates five continuous-loop capabilities — Discovery & AI-BOM, AI Security Posture Management, Automated AI Red Teaming, Runtime Enforcement, and AI Detection & Response — and is delivered through solutions including AI Agents Security, AI Application Protection, AI Governance & Compliance, and AI Usage Control. The Intent Security module layers behavioral intent analysis on top of the platform, while Intent Deputy provides the runtime behavioral fingerprinting and sub-50ms anomaly detection specifically for autonomous AI agents.
