Dubai-based OTT Cybersecurity LLC has officially launched its autonomous cybersecurity platform, Lyrie.ai, after emerging from stealth mode. The company announced the completion of a $2 million pre-seed funding round to fuel its growth and platform development. This launch marks a significant step toward establishing a foundational security layer for the rapidly expanding agentic AI economy.
Securing the New Frontier of AI Agents
The proliferation of autonomous AI agents in enterprise and government sectors has created an urgent security challenge. These agents operate with extensive permissions across sensitive systems, yet they lack fundamental identity verification and oversight. This gap leaves organizations vulnerable, as the identity, authorization, and integrity of these digital actors cannot be reliably confirmed.
Introducing the Agent Trust Protocol
To address this vulnerability, Lyrie.ai has introduced the Agent Trust Protocol (ATP), an open cryptographic standard for AI agents. The protocol is designed to provide a verifiable framework for agent identity, scope, attestation, delegation, and revocation. Its goal is to become the foundational trust layer for the agentic AI economy, much like SSL/TLS secured the web.
Authored by Lyrie's research team, ATP is being released as a royalty-free standard slated for submission to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Guy Sheetrit, CEO of OTT Cybersecurity LLC, emphasized that current AI agents are effectively anonymous and untrustworthy. The protocol provides the necessary infrastructure to change this by enabling systems to verify an agent's identity and permissions.
Funding and Strategic Industry Validation
The newly secured $2 million in pre-seed funding will be instrumental in advancing Lyrie.ai's mission. These funds are allocated for expanding the security research team, scaling infrastructure, and deepening partnerships with enterprise and government clients. The company is also preparing for a future Series A round to support large-scale deployment across key markets.
In a significant endorsement of its technology, OTT Cybersecurity LLC has been accepted into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program (CVP). This acceptance validates Lyrie's approach and supports its work in vulnerability research and offensive security tooling on Claude’s AI infrastructure. This collaboration underscores the industry's recognition of the need for specialized AI security solutions like Lyrie.ai.
An Integrated Platform for AI Security
The Lyrie.ai platform delivers a comprehensive suite of autonomous offensive and defensive security capabilities across the full threat lifecycle. Its features include autonomous seven-phase penetration testing, adversarial AI red-teaming, and zero-day research workflows. The platform is designed for rapid deployment, functioning on hardware ranging from consumer-grade devices to enterprise GPU infrastructure.
This integrated solution provides coverage mapped to the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative (ASI) 2026 threat catalog. By combining advanced tools like the Omega-Suite for binary analysis, Lyrie.ai offers a robust defense against emerging AI-related threats. The platform positions the company to provide essential security infrastructure for the next generation of autonomous systems.
With its successful funding round, the launch of the open Agent Trust Protocol, and key industry partnerships, Lyrie.ai is poised to define the security standards for the agentic AI era. The company's proactive approach addresses a critical and growing need for trust and verification in autonomous systems. As AI agents become more integrated into critical operations, Lyrie.ai's foundational infrastructure will be vital for ensuring their secure and reliable deployment.
