Evoke Security Raises $4M to Secure Rapidly Growing AI Agent Workforces

New updates have been reported about Evoke Security.

Evoke Security has secured $4 million in pre-seed funding to build out its cybersecurity platform for AI agents, positioning the company at the center of a rapidly emerging enterprise risk category. The round was led by Crosspoint Capital Partners, with participation from Red Cell Partners, and follows Evoke’s selection into the 2026 CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA Accelerator Program as well as its membership in the NVIDIA Inception Program.

The company’s platform is designed to give security teams visibility and control over autonomous AI agents that are already being granted access to email, customer data, source code, and production systems at scale. Evoke provides rapid-deploy tools that automatically inventory and govern agents, skills, MCP tools, and data sources; model AI-specific attack paths and detect over-permissioned agents; and monitor, block, and respond to risky behaviors such as data exfiltration in real time.

CEO and co-founder Jason Rebholz, formerly CISO at Corvus Insurance, frames the opportunity as the security response to a structural workforce shift in which “half” of the enterprise workforce could effectively become non-human agents. Investor commentary from Crosspoint and Red Cell underscores that CISOs lack tooling to even see, let alone secure, these agents, and positions Evoke as a first mover against a new attack surface that traditional security products do not address.

Technically, Evoke’s platform covers local AI agents via a lightweight endpoint sensor, SaaS agents via a browser extension, and production agents via an SDK and proxy, allowing consistent policy and telemetry across environments. Strategically, the company is betting on a future in which AI agents become a de facto operating layer for businesses, with each employee supported by multiple autonomous agents, and Evoke aims to be the control plane that lets enterprises adopt this model without losing governance or compliance.

For executives, the funding and accelerator validation signal that Evoke is likely to expand product development and go-to-market efforts quickly, targeting large enterprises that are aggressively piloting or deploying agentic AI. The company’s focus on Shadow AI elimination, AI security posture management, and real-time control suggests its platform could become a core component of security architectures where AI agents are integrated deeply into critical workflows and data pipelines.
