Shyft Raises $36M Series A for Agent Identity Governance That Treats Non-Human Actors Like Employees With Kill Switches

  • Agent Identity
  • Governance
  • Security

Governance plane for agent fleets—provisioning, scoped tool access, continuous authorization, and one-click revocation when agents drift outside policy.

James Whitaker · ex-Okta

“If an agent can act, it needs a lifecycle. We made non-human identity as boring and enforceable as SSO.”

— Founder

“Agent identity without governance is shadow IT with GPUs—Shyft is the control plane enterprises will standardize on.”

— Mamoon Hamid · Kleiner Perkins
