Helmet Security builds an end-to-end security platform designed to safeguard enterprises against emerging threats stemming from agentic AI communications. The system continuously discovers and manages MCP servers, enforcing policy controls that let security leaders spot risky activity, block unsanctioned or over-privileged workflows, and respond immediately to new connections. By centralizing discovery and policy enforcement, the platform aims to reduce the attack surface created by modern AI-driven communications channels. Led by CEO Fred Kneip and CTO Kaushik Shanadi, the company positions itself as a comprehensive solution for enterprises tasked with managing fast-changing AI security risks. With fresh capital, Helmet Security plans to scale its operations and accelerate product development. No operating metrics such as revenue or user counts were disclosed in the fundraising announcement.
