Linx Securitya provider identity security and governance solutions has closed a $50 million Series B funding round led by global software investor Insight Partners, with ongoing participation from Cyberstarts and Index Ventures. This brings Linx’s total funding to $83 million. The 100-person startup has already signed multimillion-dollar contracts with banks, healthcare companies and Fortune 500 firms managing millions of identities worldwide.
As businesses embrace cloud, automation, and AI, the number of identities within organizations has exploded, now encompassing not just employees but also machines, services, and AI agents; This outnumbers humans by about 80 to 1. Traditional identity management tools designed for a smaller, more static environment have struggled to keep up, leaving security teams with limited visibility, slower response times, and increased risk at a time when nearly 90% of security incidents involve identity-related failures.
Founded in 2023 by cybersecurity veterans Israeli Duanis And Niv GoldenbergThe company provides an AI-native platform that continuously maps, tracks, and manages all identities across the enterprise—human, non-human, and agents alike. Linx replaces manual processes and periodic reviews with real-time detection and automated remediation, allowing organizations to reduce identity risk without slowing down business.
“Identity governance has evolved from a back-office compliance function to a pillar of enterprise security.” said Duanis, Linx’s CEO. “This funding allows us to scale faster and meet the growing demand of organizations that need real-time visibility and control over all identities operating in their environments.”
Linx recently introduced Linx Autopilot, an autonomous AI agent designed to fundamentally change the way identity management is managed. Moving away from the constraints of manual oversight and reactive processes, Autopilot continuously monitors identity activity, detects meaningful changes in real time, and takes action to automatically resolve issues or escalate when necessary. Working across humans, machines, and agents, it enables security teams to move from periodic to continuous, intelligent control without creating operational overhead.
The new funding will support expanding the global footprint, scaling enterprise go-to-market efforts, and accelerating product development around autonomous identity management.
“Linx is redesigning its IGA architecture to solve the emerging agent management problem. The company’s AI-first approach, combined with the introduction of Linx Autopilot, positions Linx well in this critical category, and we are excited to partner on this journey.” in question Teddie WardManaging director of Insight Partners.
“We initially supported Linx because we believe identity will be the foundational control layer of modern security.” in question Gili RaananCo-founder of Cyberstarts. “AI agents are rapidly increasing the number of identities operating within organizations, transforming identity management from a back-office compliance task to a board-level risk. Linx is creating the platform to manage this new reality.”
