Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Agentic promises AI-powered security, because that’s what every security startup does now. Mandia’s new company claims to offer “autonomous” security, which is just a fancy way of saying “AI-powered”. The startup has no disclosed funding, but that’s not unusual for a company that just launched. Mandia’s previous company, Mandiant, was sold to Google for $5.4 billion, so he’s got some street cred. Because what the world really needs is another AI-powered security startup.
