Berlin-based Unosecur, a rising innovator in cloud identity management, has secured $5 million in Seed funding, 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.
Founded in 2021 by tech entrepreneur Santhosh Jayaprakash, Unosecur is addressing the increasing complexity of identity security in the AI era. As organizations scale and adopt more cloud-based solutions, managing identities — human, service accounts, APIs, and AI agents — has become a critical security challenge.
Identity Is the New Security Perimeter
Unosecur’s platform introduces the concept of a Unified Identity Fabric, a fully integrated approach to securing digital identities across hybrid environments. Rather than using fragmented identity and access management (IAM) tools, the platform consolidates identity data into a single, intelligent system that works without agents or complex integrations.
The company’s agentless solution connects seamlessly with major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP, adheres to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and supports no-code workflows to ensure policy compliance.
AI-Powered Identity Security for Hybrid Infrastructures
A standout feature of Unosecur’s approach is its AI-driven risk analysis and behavior monitoring. By analyzing both human and non-human identities (NHI), including AI agents, the platform can detect anomalies and respond in real-time using embedded threat detection and automated remediation tools.
This innovation addresses a growing pain point. Today, enterprises often rely on multiple IAM tools, resulting in security gaps and inconsistent policies. Gartner predicts that by 2025, 75% of all cloud security failures will stem from identity issues — a statistic Unosecur aims to change.
Growth Strategy Backed by Strategic Investors
With the new capital, Unosecur plans to expand R&D, enhance AI threat detection capabilities, and scale its go-to-market operations in North America and Europe.
“This investment validates our innovative approach and provides the resources we need to accelerate development and expand our presence,” said CEO Santhosh Jayaprakash.
The startup is gaining traction fast, with early adoption from major enterprises. Its holistic view of identity security, especially in hybrid and AI-integrated environments, sets it apart from legacy IAM solutions.
Industry Endorsements and the Rise of Hybrid IAM
Industry experts and investors recognize Unosecur’s potential. Maarten Engelen of DFF Ventures emphasized the urgency of solving identity-related threats at scale, while Martin Kuppinger of KuppingerCole noted that hybrid IAM is emerging as its own critical sector.
“Unosecur is redefining how identity threats are tackled, providing value beyond conventional IAM,” said Onur Can, Partner at Heartfelt Capital.
