Corsha, a Washington, D.C.-based startup focused on securing communication between machines. Has secured $18 million in fresh funding to accelerate its growth in the critical infrastructure and operational systems sector. The funding round, announced today, was led by SineWave Ventures and joined by Razor’s Edge Ventures and Ten Eleven Ventures.
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, especially in industrial and connected environments. Protecting machine-to-machine (M2M) traffic has become a top priority. Corsha’s solution is designed to do just that—providing dynamic. Identity-first authentication for machines, APIs, and data flows without requiring human involvement.
At the heart of Corsha’s offering is its Machine Identity Provider (m-IdP). A platform that gives enterprises a secure and scalable way to manage how machines connect, automate, and share sensitive data across distributed environments. Whether it’s enabling secure communication in energy grids, smart factories, or defense systems. The platform ensures every connection is verified and protected.
The company’s approach is gaining attention for making machine identity security as seamless and robust as human identity management. Rather than depending on static credentials or certificates that are hard to rotate and often left exposed. Corsha continuously rotates secrets and enforces real-time authentication policies that adapt to changing network conditions.
The rise of automation and connected devices has created a complex ecosystem where traditional security tools fall short. Corsha is tackling that gap by offering enterprises a way to move data securely between systems. Regardless of where those systems are located—on-premise, in the cloud, or at the edge.
This new funding will be used to expand Corsha’s market presence, further develop its product capabilities, and scale adoption across both public and private sector clients. With regulatory pressure mounting and cyberattacks on operational technology (OT) systems becoming more common. The company sees a growing demand for solutions that provide zero-trust access for machines.
Corsha’s platform is already in use by organizations looking to secure automation pipelines, secure APIs across hybrid environments, and enable trust in high-assurance sectors like defense, energy, and manufacturing. As more businesses move toward interconnected systems, the need for intelligent, machine-native security will only increase.
Backed by cybersecurity-focused investors and a team with deep domain expertise, Corsha is aiming to become the standard for M2M identity security in critical infrastructure. With this latest capital infusion, the company is poised to scale its efforts and deliver security that keeps pace with the demands of a fully connected world.
