Lyrie.ai, the autonomous cybersecurity platform developed by OTT Cybersecurity LLC, has completed a $2 million pre-seed funding round and officially exited stealth. The raise will support continued platform development, security research team expansion, and the operationalization of the Agent Trust Protocol across Lyrie’s platform and partner ecosystem. The company is headquartered in Dubai, UAE, and is already preparing a Series A round to scale deployment across enterprise and government markets.
Alongside the funding announcement, Lyrie is releasing the Agent Trust Protocol, an open cryptographic standard for AI agent identity, scope, attestation, delegation and revocation. The protocol is royalty-free and slated for submission to the Internet Engineering Task Force, with a reference implementation available under MIT license. Lyrie’s founders are positioning the Agent Trust Protocol as the trust layer underneath the agentic AI economy in the same way SSL/TLS became the trust layer for the web.
The platform delivers autonomous offensive and defensive security across the full threat lifecycle, including a seven-phase penetration test executable from a single command, adversarial AI red-teaming workflows, zero-day research via binary analysis, and coverage mapped to the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative 2026 threat catalog. OTT Cybersecurity LLC has also been accepted into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, supporting Lyrie’s work around vulnerability research, offensive security tooling and red-team workflows on Claude’s AI infrastructure.
Enterprise and government organizations are deploying autonomous AI agents at a pace that has outrun existing security frameworks, with agents operating across sensitive systems with broad access and limited oversight. Lyrie is targeting that gap directly, building infrastructure to establish verifiable identity, scope enforcement and tamper detection for AI agents across the internet.
KEY QUOTES:
“The agentic AI economy is being built right now, and it is being built without a security foundation. Every AI agent on the internet today is effectively anonymous. No identity verification, no scope enforcement, no tamper detection. We built the infrastructure that changes that — and we built it as an open standard so the entire industry can adopt it.”
