Sequoia doubles down on Cymphony as AI agents create new enterprise security risks

AnnouncementFundingSep 9, 2026

Cymphony has raised $30 million in funding, including a $25 million Series A co-led by Sequoia Capital, valuing the security startup at more than $100 million. The company, co-founded by CEO Shy Dekel, provides security teams a unified view of employees, AI agents, and other non-human identities through its "workforce graph." Sequoia initially backed the startup before it had a product, betting on founders from Israel's Talpiot program. Cymphony reports seven figures in annual recurring revenue.
