Operant AI Secures €13.5M to Shield Businesses from Rogue ChatGPT and Gemini Agents

Operant AI has raised €13.5 million in venture capital to bolster its position in AI security. The company now offers a new solution called Agent Protector, designed to monitor autonomous AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini in real time. With stricter EU AI regulations coming into force this August, businesses face growing pressure to secure their AI systems.

The rapid adoption of AI agents is creating challenges for IT teams. Analysts expect that by the end of 2026, around 40 percent of enterprise applications will include their own AI agents. Many companies, however, are struggling to keep up with the technology's speed and complexity.

Operant AI's Agent Protector aims to tackle these issues by providing real-time oversight. Unlike traditional security software, it uses a zero-trust model, giving each AI agent like ChatGPT and Gemini only the minimum permissions needed. This approach helps prevent 'shadow AI'—uncontrolled agents that operate undetected and could lead to data leaks or compliance breaches.

To assist businesses, Operant AI has also released a free guide. The resource explains new AI labelling and documentation rules under the EU's upcoming regulations. Many firms are underestimating how these changes will affect their operations.

Agent Protector is now available as a security platform for autonomous AI agents like ChatGPT and Gemini. The tool addresses growing concerns about unauthorised AI activity and regulatory compliance. With stricter rules on the horizon, Operant AI's solution arrives as companies seek ways to manage AI risks more effectively.
