Cygrid Raises €2.66 Million for AI Agent Access Controls

Oct 23, 2026
Berlin cybersecurity startup Cygrid has emerged from stealth with €2.66 million for a platform that controls actions by human, machine and AI identities.

Cygrid has emerged from stealth with €2.66 million in pre Seed funding for its identity enforcement platform, according to EU Startups. Atlantic led the round, with participation from D11Z and several angel investors.

The Berlin startup maps human, machine and AI agent identities in one graph. Its platform checks each action against access limits before execution and can block or narrow actions when they breach company policies.

Cygrid says it works with 19 design partners across financial technology, ecommerce and software, with six using the platform in production. The company will use the funding to expand its enforcement tools, hire staff and grow across Europe.
