Tackling Agentic AI Security Challenges

As enterprises increasingly integrate autonomous AI agents into core operations, security concerns such as unpredictable behavior and goal drift pose significant hurdles. A recent EY survey indicates that nearly 9 in 10 enterprise leaders face roadblocks to agentic AI adoption. Geordie’s platform provides visibility, risk intelligence, and proactive control to address these challenges. “Our platform, purpose-built for agents, ensures enterprises don’t have to choose between innovation and security,” said Henry Comfort, Co-founder and CEO.

Innovative Agent-Native Architecture

Geordie’s vendor-agnostic platform is designed to handle the complexities of AI agents that evolve their decision paths. It detects deployed agents across all tools and frameworks, continuously mapping behavior to assess risks. The “Beam” engine, a real-time risk mitigation tool, guides agent decisions to align with enterprise policies without disrupting operations. “The security Geordie brings will be a critical part of safely embracing the agentic AI revolution destined for the decade ahead,” said Dave Palmer, General Partner at Ten Eleven Ventures.

Expert Leadership and Strategic Funding

Founded in early 2025 by former Darktrace and Snyk executives Henry Comfort, Hanah-Marie Darley, and Benji Weber, Geordie leverages deep expertise in cybersecurity and AI. The $6.5 million seed round, backed by cybersecurity-focused Ten Eleven Ventures and global investor General Catalyst, positions Geordie to accelerate platform development and market expansion. “Agentic systems demand similarly autonomous security systems, not traditional software,” said Mark Crane, Partner at General Catalyst.

Enabling Safe AI Adoption

Geordie’s platform empowers enterprises to scale AI innovation securely by offering real-time visibility and risk mitigation. This funding and leadership enable Geordie to address the urgent need for robust AI governance, ensuring enterprises can harness the productivity benefits of agentic AI while maintaining control and compliance.
