AegisAI Uses AI to Outsmart AI Phishing | Tech News

Former Google execs behind safe browsing and reCAPTCHA have launched AegisAI, an AI-powered cybersecurity startup tackling the rising threat of AI-driven spear phishing.

In under a year, major clients including Mash and LangChain are already onboard, and the company just closed a $36M Series A, bringing its total funding to $49M. With cyberattacks growing faster and smarter, AegisAI is positioning itself as a critical defense layer—and plans to expand its AI agent tech beyond email to other cybersecurity domains.
