Linx Security Secures $50 Million Series B to Automate Identity Governance for the AI Era

Linx Security has secured $50 million in a Series B funding round to accelerate the development of its identity security platform. The investment was led by Insight Partners, with continued support from existing backers Index Ventures and Cyberstarts. This brings the total funding for the New York-based startup to $83 million since its inception in 2023. The company addresses a critical gap in the market as identity-related breaches now account for the vast majority of security incidents. According to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/T110/reports/2024-dbir-data-breach-investigations-report.pdf), 68 percent of breaches involve a human element. High-profile attacks have demonstrated that traditional security measures often fail to govern the complex web of digital credentials.

Visibility and Governance

Linx Security provides an agentless solution that maps and monitors the intricate relationships between users, their identities, and permissions. By plugging directly into a company’s existing infrastructure, the platform eliminates blind spots that traditional identity tools miss. This real-time visibility allows organizations to shrink their attack surface and maintain compliance without manual intervention.

Autonomous Remediation

A key highlight of the recent expansion is the introduction of Linx Autopilot, an autonomous AI agent for proactive identity management. Autopilot identifies over-privileged accounts and suspicious behavior, taking independent action to remediate risks. This technology helps security teams keep pace with the explosion of machine identities and AI agents in modern networks. CEO Israel Duanis and CPO Niv Goldenberg founded the company with a vision to redefine identity governance for the cloud era. The leadership team’s extensive experience in cybersecurity has helped Linx secure multi-million dollar contracts with major enterprise clients. With the new capital, the company plans to scale its go-to-market efforts and broaden its global footprint.
