Manifold Raises $8M for AI Agent Security

85% of developers run coding agents (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor). Nobody's watching what they do.

Manifold builds runtime security for AI agents—monitors every tool call, API access, and action in production. First "EDR for the agentic era."

• Founders: Neal Swaelens & Oleksandr Yaremchuk (built LLM Guard, acquired by Protect AI → Palo Alto Networks)
• Closed $8M seed in 72 hours
• Advisory: Joe Sullivan (Uber CSO), Vijay Bolina (Google DeepMind CISO)

New infrastructure categories emerge around behavioral shifts. Agents are running now. Security layer is next.
