Willow Raises $7 Million for Securing Autonomous AI Agents
Summary
Willow, an Israeli startup, launched a platform that manages identity and access for AI agents (autonomous systems that perform tasks independently) in enterprises, securing tools like Claude and ChatGPT through centralized control. The platform assigns verified identities to each AI agent, restricts which systems they can reach using least-privilege access (allowing only the minimum permissions needed), and detects unauthorized AI usage across a company's network. With $7 million in funding, Willow aims to let companies safely deploy AI agents without giving them unrestricted access to sensitive systems and data.
