As organisations grow, identities proliferate — not only employee logins but also service accounts, API keys, and AI agents. Identity has become the new security perimeter, a fragile and constantly evolving one. To address these challenges, Unosecur has pioneered the groundbreaking concept of a Unified Identity Fabric. This approach views identity security not as disconnected elements but as a cohesive end-to-end integrated fabric.
Today, Germany’s leading innovator in identity security, dedicated to securing human and non-human digital identities for modern enterprises. Has successfully closed a $5 million Seed funding round, with an additional $3 million in oversubscribed commitments. The round was led by VentureFriends and DFF Ventures, with participation from Leo Capital, Heartfelt (APX), and prominent angel investors.
With fresh capital and strategic backing, Unosecur plans to advance R&D for real-time threat detection, AI-driven risk analysis, and automated remediation; expand market reach with new customer engagements in North America, Europe, and beyond; and scale the team to accelerate product development, customer success, and go-to-market operations.
“This funding milestone fuels our ongoing mission to tackle the ever-changing ways identities are misused in hybrid environments,” said Santhosh Jayaprakash, CEO of Unosecur. “This investment validates our innovative approach and provides the resources we need to accelerate our platform’s development and expand our market presence.”
Filling a Critical Gap in Cloud Security
Established in Berlin in 2021, Unosecur aims to revolutionise identity security. Santhosh Jayaprakash, a veteran tech entrepreneur with extensive experience in cloud consulting and cybersecurity. Founded the company after his success with Ankercloud, where he applied his expertise in scaling cloud businesses to form Unosecur.
Unosecur was developed to fill a significant gap in cloud security. Specifically regarding managing and safeguarding human and non-human digital identities (including service accounts, API keys, and AI agents) across both cloud and on-premises infrastructures. Jayaprakash and his team identified that identity has emerged as the primary security perimeter as more organisations migrate to cloud solutions. However, current solutions remain fragmented, leaving companies exposed to identity-related threats.
Many businesses overlook essential security measures during cloud software development, particularly identity and access management. This observation fueled their vision for an integrated, AI-driven platform that offers real-time threat detection, automated remediation, and ongoing behavior analysis for various identity types—without complex integrations or additional software agents.
Unosecur aims to reshape identity security by providing a comprehensive, agentless platform that consolidates identity management, risk detection, and automated responses. The platform seamlessly connects with leading cloud service providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), adheres to industry frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, and ensures compliance through policy enforcement and no-code workflows.
IAM Fragmentation: A Major Enterprise Security Concern
Today’s identity and access management (IAM) systems often consist of 6 to 16 isolated tools. This fragmented strategy limits visibility and results in inconsistent policy enforcement. Poor IAM integration leads to inefficiencies and security threats. The rise of AI agents and AI-driven threats only compounds the issue. Gartner predicts that by 2025, 75% of security failures will stem from inadequate identity management.
Unosecur addresses this by treating identity security as an integrated fabric, not fragmented parts. Its AI-driven platform unifies human, machine, and AI identities across hybrid environments. Rather than operating in silos, identity data—spanning employee accounts, cloud roles, DevOps secrets, and AI agent credentials—feeds into a single intelligent system.
A standout innovation is the platform’s AI-powered identity monitoring. Unosecur’s models learn behavior patterns and detect anomalies across all identity types, enabling swift and accurate threat response. Through Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), and intelligent Non-Human Identity (NHI) management, Unosecur delivers true end-to-end security.
Industry Support for Unosecur Vision
Onur Can, Partner at Heartfelt Capital, stated, “Unosecur recognised the pressing need for agile, integrated cybersecurity solutions capable of managing human and non-human identities. Their exceptional platform, strong team and impressive client base position them for considerable growth.”
“Identity security is the weak link in cloud infrastructure, and Unosecur is developing the definitive solution at a pace that distinguishes them. Rapid adoption by major enterprises demonstrates that they are addressing a universal and imperative challenge. We’re thrilled to support a team redefining how identity threats are tackled at scale,” commented Maarten Engelen, Partner at DFF Ventures.
“Transitioning to a unified identity fabric encompassing all identity types, IAM, and Digital ID functionality is a strategic business necessity. Specialised, cloud-native IAM solutions are well-placed to leverage this trend, adding the missing features. Unosecur has already proven its ability to offer value beyond conventional IAM solutions. This seed funding round highlights that hybrid IAM is emerging as a distinct sector,” stated Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole.
