Identity security management company Hydden on Tuesday announced raising $4.4 million in a seed funding round led by Access Venture Partners.
Lockstep (the venture fund of CISOs Rinki Sethi and Lucas Moody), Service Provider Capital, and several angel investors have also contributed to Hydden’s seed funding.
Hydden has developed an identity security platform designed to help organizations gain complete visibility into identities, accounts and privileges.
The solution connects to existing identity and access management (IAM) tools, cloud applications, and on-premises systems, and leverages a continuous discovery engine to detect, classify and warn of identity-related risks.
The company says its platform creates a single data layer across IAM, identity governance and administration (IGA), privileged access management (PAM), and identity threat detection and response (ITDR) solutions.
According to Hydden, it leverages connectors to uncover and interpret identity data, enabling organizations to detect issues without impacting operations. The platform also provides a time capsule feature that identifies patterns and aids in post-event analysis.
“Hydden is redefining identity security by delivering the comprehensive visibility, intelligent threat detection, and automation today’s security leaders need to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats” said Jai Dargan, CEO and co-founder of Hydden.
“As organizations grapple with the exponential growth of human and non-human identities, security blind spots are multiplying. Siloed IAM solutions, built for a different era, can’t keep pace with the complexities of modern, hybrid infrastructures. Hydden bridges this critical gap –empowering security teams to enhance identity hygiene and significantly reduce their identity attack surface without interfering with existing infrastructure investment,” Dargan added.
