News Summary

AegisAI, a new email security startup founded by former Google security leaders Cy Khormaee and Ryan Luo, has emerged from stealth with $13 million in seed funding. The company, which aims to counter phishing, malware, and business email compromise threats, uses autonomous AI agents to inspect and neutralize email threats in real-time. AegisAI’s approach challenges typical email security platforms by not relying on static rules, instead using AI agents that self-tune to detect and counteract threats. With offices in San Francisco and New York, AegisAI is currently running pilot programs with customers in the U.S. and Europe, including Lokker and Mesh Connect.
