Unosecur secures $5 million in Seed funding to fortify identity security in the age of AI

Berlin – March 9, 2025 – Unosecur, Germany’s leading pathbreaker in identity security, dedicated to securing human and non-human digital identities for modern enterprises, has successfully closed a $5 million Seed funding round through a priced 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.

Fifteen sector-leading organizations – including a Fortune 500 topper – currently use Unosecur’s capabilities to reduce their identity sprawl. The enterprise platform that can be onboarded swiftly and effectively was a major factor in attracting significant interest from numerous institutional investors.

“This funding milestone fuels our long and continuous process of tackling the ever-changing ways in which 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.”

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.
• Scale the team to accelerate product development, customer success, and go-to-market operations.  

“Before bringing Unosecur on board, our large-scale identity solutions provided ample visibility but lacked effective remediation for anomalies, and despite robust CNAPP alerts, our ITDR setup remained under-optimized and trapped in silos for nearly 90% of our processes,” said Vijay Muthu, CISO of Rakuten Symphony.

“With Unosecur’s unified, flexible platform and the visibility gained through its Identity Fabric, we’ve integrated dynamic identity checks right into our daily workflows, giving us both agility and peace of mind,” he added. 

Transforming cloud identity security

As organizations scale, identities multiply – not just employee logins but service accounts, API keys, and AI agents. Identity has effectively become the new security perimeter, a constantly evolving and fragile one.

It’s not uncommon for today’s identity and access management (IAM) stack to comprise 6–16 different tools operating in silos​. This patchwork approach leaves security teams with partial views of user access and inconsistent enforcement of policies. Disparate IAM systems that don’t communicate effectively lead to inefficiencies and potential security vulnerabilities​. Adding to the complexity is the proliferation of AI agents and the rise of AI-driven threats. The damage is already evident. As Gartner observed, by 2025, 75% of all security failures will be caused by inadequate identity management​. 

To overcome these challenges, Unosecur has championed the innovative solution of a Unified Identity Fabric. It treats identity security not as separate pieces but as one end-to-end integrated fabric. Unosecur’s AI-powered platform unifies human, machine, and even AI-based identities across hybrid environments into a single cohesive framework. Instead of isolated silos, all identity data – from employee accounts and cloud service roles to DevOps secrets and AI agent credentials – feed into one intelligent system. 

The real game-changer is the infusion of AI-driven intelligence throughout this fabric. Unosecur’s platform continuously monitors identity behavior and access patterns using advanced AI models. It learns what normal patterns look like for each identity – human, machine, or AI Agents – and can spot anomalies or risky deviations and remediate them in real time. With this innovative synergy of Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), and NHI management with AI capabilities, Unosecur delivers true end-to-end identity security.

“Our evaluation of Unosecur confirms its ability to provide advanced identity protection, seamless user experience, and compliance with industry standards,” Siddhesh Khavnekar, Vice President - Lead Technical Architect at RBL Bank

“Organizations looking to strengthen their security posture will find Unosecur to be a powerful and effective solution,” he recommended.

Funding highlights

According to Onur Can, Partner at Heartfelt Capital, “Unosecur identified the urgent need for agile, integrated cybersecurity solutions that can manage both human and non-human identities. Their top-notch platform, combined with a strong team and impressive customer roster, positions them for significant growth.”

"Identity security is the Achilles’ heel of cloud infrastructure, and Unosecur is building the definitive solution at a pace that sets them apart. Rapid adoption by major enterprises proves that they’re solving a universal and urgent problem. We’re excited to back a team that’s redefining how identity threats are managed at scale.", said Maarten Engelen, Partner at DFF Ventures.

“The newly secured capital will enable Unosecur to enhance its core platform capabilities and scale operations to meet the evolving identity security demands of global enterprises. We are very excited to join forces with a seasoned team that has built an impressive product catering to a major pain point of CISOs,” said Pavlos Pavlakis, Principal at VentureFriends.

"The move to a unified identity fabric, covering all types of identities, IAM, and Digital ID capabilities, is a strategic business need. Specialized, cloud-native IAM solutions are well-positioned to ride this wave, adding the missing capabilities. Unosecur has already demonstrated its ability to deliver value beyond established IAM solutions. This seed funding round underpins that hybrid IAM is growing as a sector on its own," Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole, stated.
