Gartner predicts that by 2028, one in four enterprise breaches will trace back to compromised AI agents. Yet today’s identity systems still assume browser logins and manual logouts—a fundamental mismatch as autonomous agents begin invoking business applications at scale.

Scalekit, founded by the team behind Freshworks’ authentication platform, just secured $5.5 million in seed funding to build the missing authentication infrastructure for AI agents. The round was led by Together Fund and Z47, positioning the startup to address what may become the most critical security bottleneck in enterprise AI deployment.
