Dubai – Sharikat Mubasher: UAE-based Lyrie.ai announced it has raised $2 million in a pre-seed funding round and officially emerged from stealth mode. According to a recent press release, this funding will be used to further develop the platform, expand its cybersecurity research team, and support the rollout of its Agent Trust Protocol (ATP), an open cryptographic standard designed to verify and secure AI agents operating across enterprise systems.

Lyrie.ai focuses on protecting autonomous AI agents that interact with sensitive infrastructure, execute transactions, and access critical data environments. The company said ATP aims to provide identity verification, authorization, and tamper detection for AI agents, positioning it as a trust layer for the emerging agentic AI economy. The protocol is expected to be submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an open industry standard.

Guy Sheetrit, CEO and Founder of OTT Cybersecurity LLC, said the rapid growth of agentic AI has created an urgent need for stronger security and trust infrastructure.

The company also announced that OTT Cybersecurity has been accepted into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Programme, which supports cybersecurity operators working on AI safety and vulnerability research.

Lyrie.ai said the new capital will help accelerate infrastructure scaling and expand deployments across enterprise and government cybersecurity environments.
