Most security vendors are asking "how do we secure AI agents?" right now. We've been working on the answer for years. Obsidian Security was built on understanding how SaaS environments actually function beneath the surface — not just which tools a company uses, but how they connect, what permissions they extend, and where trust flows between systems. We knew that foundation would matter when the next wave hit. AI agents are that wave. And they operate nothing like what came before. They don't integrate through predefined pathways — they forge relationships on the fly, in real time, expanding access in ways that are nearly invisible to security teams. Our CEO Hasan Imam sat down with investor and board member, Venky G., Managing Partner at Menlo Ventures to discuss how years of SaaS security positions Obsidian to lead on AI agent security. Watch the interview below and explore our solution: https://lnkd.in/gfUTviW9 #AISecurity #AIAgentSecurity #SaaSSecurity #CISO

Today, we’re announcing an oversubscribed $125M Series B led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA) with new investors Transformation Capital, GreatPoint Ventures, Cathay Innovation, Menlo Ventures Anthology Fund, an AI innovation fund created in partnership with Anthropic, and continued support from SignalFire, Frist Cressey Ventures, Flare Capital Partners, Healthier Capital, Town Hall Ventures, and Intermountain Ventures. This moment belongs to the health systems we work with and our champions delivering care across the country. This funding enables us to go further and faster with them in this work. Until now, AI in healthcare has been applied only at the edges, with fragmented tools, narrow use cases, and only incremental gains. It hasn’t been enough to withstand the workforce and cost pressures ahead. Today, health systems are committing to enterprise-wide transformation, and this approach looks fundamentally different. When the goal is to improve hundreds or thousands of workflows at a health system you partner differently and you build for scale from the start. At Qualified Health our role is to drive measurable clinical and enterprise impact through AI by: 1️⃣ Establishing a unified data foundation across fragmented and siloed systems 2️⃣ Embedding AI into core workflows and regular practice 3️⃣ Ensuring clinical oversight, decision traceability, and continuous performance monitoring 4️⃣ Driving upskilling and change management all the way through adoption and measurable value To our health system partners: thank you for leading this work from the front, for placing your trust in us, and for your willingness to tackle challenges of this scale. To the Qualified Health team: your tenacity, ingenuity, and ownership are what make this possible. To our investors and advisors: thank you for your support and conviction. This incredible group includes: Mohamad Makhzoumi, Hui Cheng, Jared Kesselheim, Akanksha Mehta, DJ Patil, Simon Wu, Elijah Yi, Sooah Cho, Navid Farzad, Olivia Capra, CFA, Bill Frist, M.D., Ian Chiang, Tara Sullivan, Michael A. Greeley, Amir Dan Rubin, Eric Epstein, Gregor Kevrekian, Meera Mani, MD-PhD, Josh Loria, Andy Slavitt, Bill Veghte, Justin Kan, Frank Williams, and so many others. Shantanu Phatakwala, Beau Norgeot, PhD, and Dr. Kedar Mate it’s been an amazing journey thus far and so much more to come. The next chapter of healthcare is being written by the health system leaders embracing these tools and we are fortunate to be a part of it.

AI agents are quickly becoming a new enterprise attack surface. Live in #ISMGStudio at #RSAC2026, Rama Sekhar, Partner at Menlo Ventures, in conversation with Anna Delaney, explores how autonomous agents are reshaping both cyber risk and venture investment strategy. As enterprises deploy AI agents to automate remediation, patching and workflow orchestration, new identity, credential and governance challenges emerge. These systems operate with speed and access similar to insiders, while traditional security models were never built for them. The conversation underscores a pivotal shift: as AI agents gain autonomy, cybersecurity value is moving toward remediation platforms and automation layers that can coordinate action at scale. In the agentic era, securing machine identities may define the next phase of enterprise defense. #RSAC2026 #ISMGStudio #Cybersecurity #ISMGatRSAC #AI #AIGovernance #IdentitySecurity #EnterpriseSecurity #CloudSecurity
