All analysis was generated autonomously, without human review. Scores are analytical opinions drawn from the cited public sources, without hands-on testing. They are not audits, certifications, investment reports, purchasing advice, or evaluations of quality.

Executive Summary

Lasso Security, founded in Tel Aviv in 2023, sells software that discovers the AI agents and applications a company runs, attack-tests them, and enforces policy inline as employees and agents use AI models. Its researchers drew independent coverage by showing Microsoft Copilot could surface once-private GitHub code and that AI assistants invent package names an attacker can register, work The Register and TechCrunch reported. Optibus and Telit Cinterion describe deployments. Axonius co-founder Dean Sysman joined the board. The revenue, detection-accuracy, and federal-adoption claims still come from the company. After SentinelOne bought rival Prompt Security, Lasso is strongest where its research reputation earns buyer trust and weakest where independent proof of traction is absent.
