Pluto Security raised $42 million to monitor how employees and AI agents use enterprise AI tools.

Pluto Security emerged from stealth with $42 million to give enterprises visibility and control over employee and AI-agent use of AI tools. CEO Shahar Bahat said a new AI tool can appear in customer environments within two hours, and about 60% of detected risks come from vibe-coded apps built by non-developers. The company says it began selling in April, has passed $2 million in annual recurring revenue, and has more than 30 customers, including Oscar Health, Workato, Sixt, and AlphaSense. Funding includes an $8.5 million seed led by TLV Partners and a $34 million Series A led by Jump Capital.

Key facts
  • Pluto raised an $8.5 million seed and a $34 million Series A.
  • It reports over $2 million ARR and more than 30 enterprise customers since April.
  • About 60% of detected risks involve vibe-coded tools, led by finance teams.
  • The product monitors AI tools, MCP servers, agents, and can intervene mid-session.
