Astrix Security Banks $45M Series B to Secure Non-Human Identities

Tel Aviv company building software to secure non-human identities banks a $45 million funding round led by Menlo Ventures.

Astrix Security, an early stage startup building technology to secure non-human identities and app-to-app connections, has bagged $45 million in a Series B funding round led by Menlo Ventures.

The Tel Aviv company said the new financing included investments from Workday Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), CRV, and F2 Venture Capital, and brings the total raised to $85 million.

Astrix Security and its investors are banking on finding profits in helping businesses to secure a major blindspot in identity and access management: non-human identities like API keys, service accounts, and secrets.

The company cited Gartner data predicting at least 15% of day-to-day work decisions will be made autonomously through agentic AI products and warned that these so-called “virtual employees” will force organizations to rethink existing identity and access management approaches. 

Astrix Security said its software provides visibility into all non-human identities, and automatically detects and remediates over-privileged, unnecessary and malicious access to prevent supply chain attacks and data leaks. 

Since raising its Series A funding only last year, Astrix Security said it has tripled the size of its workforce to support a customer base that includes Workday, Netapp, Priceline, and Figma.
