Outerlimit Secures $16M to Build ZeroTrust Security Layer for Autonomous AI Agents

Outerlimit has secured $16M in pre-seed funding, led by Albion VC, to deploy a zero-trust enforcement layer for autonomous AI agents. The solution targets the agent-action boundary—the critical interface where LLM-based agents invoke external tools and APIs—to prevent unauthorized tool execution, data exfiltration, and model poisoning. By injecting a Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) sidecar using an OPA-compatible Domain Specific Language (OPAAgent) and WebAssembly (WASM) policies, the platform provides continuous, real-time authentication and authorization. The architecture leverages hardware-rooted attestation to bind agent identity and action context to trusted anchors, ensuring rigorous control over agentic workflows.
