BlinkOps Raises $50 Million for Agentic Security Automation Platform

BlinkOps has announced a Series B funding round that brings the total raised by the company for its micro-agents builder to $90 million. 

BlinkOps this week announced raising $50 million in a Series B funding round, which brings the total raised by the company to $90 million.

The investment, which will be used by BlinkOps to accelerate go-to-market efforts, was led by O.G. Venture Partners, with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Hetz Ventures and Vertex Growth.

The Austin, Texas-based company has developed an agentic security automation platform that enables organizations to generate automation workflows for various types of tasks. 

BlinkOps provides what it calls a Security Micro-Agents Builder, which enables the creation of custom security micro-agents for SOC and incident response, vulnerability management, cloud security, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and identity and access management (IAM).

BlinkOps micro-agents can handle even complex workflows by communicating with each other. The company says its platform has more than 30,000 integrations, and 10,000 workflow templates, as well as hundreds of agent templates. 

BlinkOps was founded by Gil Barak and Zion Zatlavi, who previously created Secdo, an incident response firm that Palo Alto Networks acquired in 2018.

“Micro-Agents are a massive market opportunity,” said Roy Oron, Managing Partner at O.G. Venture Partners. “We’ve never seen enterprises adopt a security platform this quickly. When Fortune 500 companies go from pilot to production in weeks, and then materially expand usage with security and beyond, it signals a potential category-defining company.”
