Ultra Security Emerges from Stealth with $10M Seed Round to Secure Autonomous Runtimes

Business Wire

DETROIT, October 21, 2026--Ultra Security is coming out of stealth. Backed by $10 million in seed funding, Ultra has built an agentic security platform built for real-time visibility and guardrails so autonomous agents run securely. Investors include Ludlow Ventures, Hidden Capital, Entrée Capital, Detroit Venture Partners, firedrop, and FDVC, along with angels from the broader security and SaaS communities.

Ultra sits between AI agents and the MCP servers and connectors they call. Every tool call, data read, and prompt request runs through Ultra, so organizations can see and control what their agents are doing as it happens, not after the fact.

Founded in 2025, by Chase Lee, former Founder and CEO of Trustpage (acquired by Vanta), Lee saw gaps and vulnerabilities in AI security quickly increasing. Agents were connecting to tools, services, and the rest of the tech stack, and modern security tools were not built for software that acts on its own. Over the past year in stealth, the Ultra team has worked with customers and design partners making it easy to secure AI agents and govern AI use, no matter an organization's size, security posture, or AI maturity.

Why now

Ultra envisions a future where agents run on all types of devices and hardware, and control over those autonomous bots is critical. Agents have moved from chatbots to autonomous software with real access to real systems, and their capabilities grow daily while organizations of all industries and sizes try to keep up. MCP is becoming the standard way agents connect to tools, APIs, and sensitive data, and adoption is moving faster than the tooling built to watch it. We are trusting agents to do work in email, code, and the typical workflow and security stack is not ready for today's capabilities. Web application firewalls and API gateways were built to watch traffic between people and systems, and cloud posture tools check configuration at a single point in time. None of them see what an agent does inside a live session. Most teams cannot answer a basic question: what are agents doing, when, what data did it touch, and how? Ultra was built to answer that question and solve that problem.

What Ultra does

  • Guardrails. Plain-language policies become enforcement on every tool call in real time: block secret and credential access, redact PII, protect PHI, rate-limit abuse, and stop data from one connector being written to another. Scoped to an org, a team, or a single device.

  • Governance. Decide exactly which agents, connectors, and tools each person or team can use, and block the rest.

  • Observability. Every agent-to-tool interaction is logged, traced, and queryable. AI-native anomaly detection provides a reassuring backstop, and surfaces findings as alerts.

  • Connectivity. One universal bridge for every agent and every connector. Connect once, deploy everywhere, with no per-client setup. Vendor- and model-agnostic by design.
