Geordie, developer of an agent-native security platform helping enterprises safely adopt AI agents, today announced its emergence from stealth with £5m in seed funding. The round was co-led by cybersecurity specialist investor Ten Eleven Ventures and global investment and transformation company, General Catalyst, with additional participation from leading angel investors.
As enterprises begin integrating autonomous AI agents into core operations, security and IT leaders face an urgent challenge: how to monitor and govern agents that operate independently across workflows. A recent survey conducted by EY found that nearly 9 in 10 enterprise leaders are identifying roadblocks to agentic AI adoption. While agentic AI promises significant operational and productivity advantages, it also brings unique challenges versus traditional software, such as unpredictable behaviour, non-deterministic decision-making, and goal drift.
Geordie gives enterprises visibility, risk intelligence, and proactive control to scale AI agents confidently. Its novel, agent-native architecture is purpose-built for the unpredictability and complexities of agents that evolve their decision paths and integrate deeply into enterprise workflows. The platform is vendor-agnostic, detecting deployed agents across all tools and frameworks, mapping behaviour and configurations to assess risk continually. With “Beam” – Geordie’s real-time risk mitigation engine – agent decisions are then contextually guided in real time, ensuring the agents remain functional and aligned with enterprise policies without disrupting operations.
The company, founded in early 2025, is led by Henry Comfort, formerly COO Americas at Darktrace, global leader in cybersecurity AI; Hanah-Marie Darley, former Director of Security and AI Strategy at Darktrace; and Benji Weber, former Senior Director of Engineering at Snyk, specialising in scaled cybersecurity and AI solutions.
