AIR has raised $50 million to launch a platform that continuously vets AI agents and the plugins, skills, and add-ons they use within company systems, blocking any unapproved components and offering a marketplace of vetted options.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new security baseline as AI agents gain wider system access—blocking unverified plugins is now possible and expected. This opens a direct path for security founders to preemptively secure AI workflows and embed trust at the agent level.
