doxx.net Raises $38 Million to Prevent AI Agent-on-the-Internet Misadventures
doxx.net raises $38M for its Agentic Defined Networking (ADN) platform to protect AI agents.
Miami-based doxx.net has secured $38 million in Series A funding to develop its Agentic Defined Networking (ADN) platform. The platform aims to prevent AI agents from accessing malicious destinations on the internet while acting on behalf of users. ADN provides a private, serverless P2P networking environment with built-in threat protection and its own custom TLDs and certificate authority.

The lesson from this incident
Full lessonAs AI agents are increasingly granted autonomy to browse the internet and execute tasks on behalf of users, they introduce a new and largely unaddressed attack surface: the agent itself can be manipulated into accessing malicious destinations, exfiltrating data, or being hijacked mid-task. Traditional perimeter security was not designed with autonomous, non-human actors in mind, meaning existing controls may be entirely bypassed. The emergence of platforms like doxx.net's ADN signals that the industry is beginning to recognize that AI agents require their own dedicated trust and network enforcement layers. Without proactive controls, organizations deploying AI agents risk treating them as fully trusted insiders with unconstrained internet access — a dangerous assumption.
