Linx Security has raised US$50 million in a Series B funding round led by Insight Partners, with support from Cyberstarts and Index Ventures. This brings the company’s total funding to US$83 million.
The startup has around 100 employees and has already secured large contracts with banks, healthcare companies, and Fortune 500 firms. Its platform is used to manage millions of digital identities around the world.
As companies use more cloud, automation, and AI, the number of identities in organizations has grown rapidly. These identities now include not just employees, but also machines, services, and AI agents. In fact, non-human identities outnumber people by about 80 to 1.
Older identity management tools were designed for simpler systems and are now struggling to keep up. This makes it harder for security teams to track everything and respond quickly.
Because of this, risks are increasing. Today, nearly 90% of security incidents are linked to problems with identity management.
“Identity governance has shifted from a back-office compliance function to a core pillar of enterprise security,” said Israel Duanis, CEO and co-founder of Linx Security. “This funding allows us to scale faster and meet the growing demand from organizations that need real-time visibility and control over every kind of identity operating in their environment.”
Founded in 2023 by Duanis and Niv Goldenberg, the two founders bring over 25 years of combined experience in cybersecurity and identity management. They have worked in senior roles at companies like Check Point Software Technologies, Microsoft, and Transmit Security.
Linx Security has launched Linx Autopilot, an AI agent designed to improve how identity security is managed. Instead of relying on manual work, it automatically monitors identity activity and detects important changes in real time.
It can take action on its own by fixing issues or alerting teams when needed. By working across human and non-human identities, it helps security teams move from occasional checks to continuous monitoring, without increasing their workload.
