## Overview
Kontext is a German artificial intelligence security startup building software that controls what AI agents are permitted to do once deployed inside a business. On September 24, 2026, it announced $4 million in new funding (SiliconANGLE, September 24, 2026).
## How It Works
Kontext's software sits between an agent and the systems it acts on. Every action an agent requests is checked against security policy before it is allowed to execute (SiliconANGLE, September 24, 2026).
## Strategic Significance
Kontext is a small but representative entrant in the fast-growing agent-security/governance space, competing alongside larger players like Palo Alto Networks and Dataiku that are also building tools to constrain and monitor autonomous AI agent behavior.
