NeuralTrust Secures $20 Million to Guard Enterprise AI Agents

The capital injection marks the largest cybersecurity seed financing for a European firm to date, drawing support from investors including VentureFriends, Seaya, and Kibo Ventures. The company intends to scale its engineering efforts and broaden its footprint across European markets as businesses transition AI systems from sandbox environments into core production workflows. This expansion arrives at a precarious time for corporate security: Gartner estimates that nearly 40% of enterprises will be forced to decommission autonomous agents by 2027 due to unforeseen governance failures and production incidents.

NeuralTrust operates through three primary pillars: TrustGate, which acts as a centralized gateway for LLM and tool calls; TrustGuard, a runtime engine that monitors threats across disparate endpoints; and TrustLens, which provides visibility into agent behavior and posture. These tools provide a unified enforcement layer for a fragmented ecosystem. Currently, the platform serves major organizations such as AirEuropa, Iberia, and Abanca, with 92% of its clientele generating annual revenues exceeding $1 billion. CEO Joan Vendrell noted that while AI agents have become deeply embedded in operations, existing protective controls remain insufficient, leaving a gap the company intends to fill by making AI adoption measurable and secure.
