Lyrie.ai closes $2m pre-seed to tackle AI agent security

Lyrie.ai, the autonomous cybersecurity platform developed by Dubai-based OTT Cybersecurity LLC, has completed a $2m pre-seed funding round and stepped out of stealth, with proceeds earmarked for research team growth, infrastructure expansion, and the broader rollout of its Agent Trust Protocol.

The funding will additionally back the company’s submission of the Agent Trust Protocol (ATP) to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and support the development of enterprise and government partnerships. OTT Cybersecurity has signalled it is already working towards a Series A to drive deployment at scale across both sectors.

Alongside the funding news, the company has published ATP, an open cryptographic standard designed to address AI agent identity, scope, attestation, delegation, and revocation. The royalty-free protocol is intended to serve as the underlying trust infrastructure for the agentic AI economy.

The Lyrie platform spans offensive and defensive security across the full threat lifecycle. Its capabilities include autonomous penetration testing that runs a seven-phase assessment from a single command, adversarial AI red-teaming using GCG and AutoDAN workflows on H200 GPU infrastructure, and threat coverage aligned to the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative 2026 catalogue. The platform also offers autonomous zero-day discovery through Omega-Suite binary analysis and is deployable across environments ranging from consumer hardware to enterprise GPU setups.

OTT Cybersecurity LLC CEO and founder Guy Sheetrit said, “The agentic AI economy is being built right now, and it is being built without a security foundation. Every AI agent on the internet today is effectively anonymous. No identity verification, no scope enforcement, no tamper detection. We built the infrastructure that changes that — and we built it as an open standard so the entire industry can adopt it.”
