Hush Security Raises $30 Mn Series A to Secure AI Agents and Non-Human Identities

The funding round included Akamai Technologies as a strategic investor, along with existing investors Battery Ventures and YL Ventures. Less than a year after coming out of stealth mode, Hush Security has now raised a total of $41 million.

"We've spent decades protecting enterprises from rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats," said Ramanath Iyer, Chief Strategist at Akamai. "Every major shift in internet usage and traffic has forced a rethink of how enterprises are secured. AI agents are driving the next transformation, and identity is the piece most companies haven't solved yet. That's the layer Hush is building."

"Our collaboration with Hush is rooted in a shared security philosophy: identity is the ultimate control point for the modern agentic workforce. Hush protects both the autonomous agents and the infrastructure they inhabit, allowing enterprises to deploy AI without sacrificing speed. Believing deeply in this unified approach to identity security, our own organization is working with Hush at scale globally," said Adeel Saeed, SVP, CTO Global Cyber Resiliency at Kyndryl.

"Every company already knows how to manage identity for its people and its applications," said Micha Rave, CEO and co-founder of Hush Security. "But now software acts autonomously, on its own initiative, inside your most sensitive systems. AI agents need strict identity, not just API keys. We solved that for non-human identities, and now we're extending governance to AI agents."

"A year ago, we said Hush had the right technology at the right time for machine identity," added Yoav Leitersdorf, Managing Partner at YL Ventures. "That thesis has only sharpened, with AI agents already a core element in the enterprise workforce, and multiple Fortune 500 companies trusting Hush as they prioritize governance of the AI workforce. Akamai joining this round is a strong signal that the identity gateway for AI agents is quickly becoming core infrastructure, as well."

"When we backed Hush at seed, static secrets were already a liability and agentic AI has turned that liability into something enterprises can't ignore," said Barak Schoster, Partner at Battery Ventures. "Companies are handing autonomous software real authority over real systems, often through the same standing credentials Hush was built to eliminate. Our expanded support of Hush is a bet that proactively securing identities is what will make that authority safe to grant as we head deeper into the agentic age."

Founded by Alon Horowitz, Micha Rave, Chen Nisnkorn, and Shmulik Ladkani, Hush Security helps businesses protect non-human identities (NHIs), such as AI agents, bots, service accounts, and machine identities. Its platform keeps these digital identities secure and prevents unauthorized access.

The platform gives AI agents and other non-human identities only the access they need, only when they need it. It also tracks every action, allows administrators to control permissions from one place, and can quickly remove access whenever necessary.
