InCountry Secures $10 Million in Funding and Unveils AgentCloak AI for Advanced Data Protection
InCountry, a leader in data protection solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), identity, and sovereignty, has announced a significant milestone with the successful raising of $10 million in funding. The round was led by Arbor Ventures, with participation from Caffeinated Ventures and new investor Accelerator Ventures. This capital infusion will accelerate the global rollout of InCountry’s groundbreaking solution, AgentCloak, a next-generation AI-powered data protection platform designed to address the growing challenges of data privacy, compliance, and cross-border AI sovereignty.
Introducing AgentCloak: A Revolutionary Approach to AI Data Protection
AgentCloak represents a paradigm shift in how sensitive data is managed and protected in the age of AI. Leveraging advanced AI algorithms, AgentCloak transforms sensitive information into generalized equivalents, ensuring compliance with stringent data privacy regulations while maintaining the utility of the data for AI applications. For example, AgentCloak can convert specific details such as “Berlin” into broader categories like “EU,” or anonymize personal identifiers like “32” into age brackets such as “30-39.” Similarly, it can transform medical terms like “headache” into less identifiable phrases such as “minor neurological condition.”
This innovative approach to data generalization goes beyond traditional methods of data masking or redaction. AgentCloak’s AI capabilities extend to identifying distinct individuals within interactions, such as distinguishing between a user and their family members in statements like “I’m writing about my father’s test results.” This ensures robust data minimization, a critical requirement under modern data protection laws.
Another key feature of AgentCloak is its use of Sovereign AI models, which are trained on local names, addresses, and vernacular to detect sensitive data specific to different regions. This localization ensures that AgentCloak can effectively operate within diverse regulatory environments, including the EU AI Act, China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), and Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). By leveraging InCountry’s proven digital twin technology, AgentCloak secures and cloaks data while enabling seamless cross-border AI operations.
Empowering AI Agents with Secure Digital Twins
AgentCloak empowers AI agents to function efficiently within and across borders by adhering to complex data privacy and AI regulations. It integrates seamlessly into agentic workflows through multiple deployment options, including MCP Server, MCP Proxy, or A2A Proxy. Additionally, AgentCloak facilitates the training of AI agents using cloaked digital twins, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected throughout the process. When necessary, authorized users can uncloak data using identity-based authorization, providing a secure yet flexible solution for enterprises.
Peter Yared, Founder and CEO of InCountry, emphasized the importance of prioritizing data privacy and compliance as AI continues to revolutionize industries. “As AI becomes increasingly integral to business operations, ensuring data privacy, trust, and compliance is paramount,” said Yared. “We’ve been collaborating with our customers and partners for over a year to develop AgentCloak, and we’re excited to launch its general availability. Our mission is to support businesses in deploying compliant AI agents both within countries and across borders.”
Strategic Growth Plans Enabled by New Funding
The $10 million funding round will fuel InCountry’s ambitious growth plans, which include expanded research and development, strategic partnerships, and global market expansion. As a trusted partner to large enterprises and government regulatory bodies, InCountry is uniquely positioned to drive AgentCloak’s adoption worldwide. The company’s focus on delivering secure, compliant, and scalable solutions aligns perfectly with the evolving needs of businesses navigating the complexities of data protection in an interconnected world.
Melissa Guzy, General Partner at Arbor Ventures, expressed her enthusiasm for InCountry’s vision and the transformative potential of AgentCloak. “We’re thrilled to back InCountry’s mission to redefine global AI data protection,” said Guzy. “AgentCloak’s AI-powered data generalization and secure digital twin technology provide enterprises with the tools they need to protect customer data within countries and across borders. This innovation addresses a critical gap in the market and positions InCountry as a leader in the data protection space.”
