Linx Security Raises $50 Million for Identity Security and Governance

Identity security and governance startup Linx Security has announced raising $50 million in a Series B funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $83 million. The fresh investment round was led by Insight Partners, with additional support from existing investors Cyberstarts and Index Ventures. Founded in 2023, New York-based Linx has built an AI-native platform that maps, monitors, and governs human, non-human, and agentic identities across the entire enterprise environment. The solution relies on real-time detection and automated remediation to reduce identity-related risks, eliminating manual oversight and reactive processes. Linx’s Autopilot AI agent continuously monitors identity activity to detect threats in real time and react immediately, escalating only when necessary, and offers contextual insights into access and risks. By mapping all identities across the business environment, Linx eliminates blind spots, covering the entire identity lifecycle, from onboarding and offboarding to account suspension and more. The startup will use the fresh investment to accelerate product development, scale its go-to-market efforts, and expand its global footprint. “Identity governance has shifted from a back-office compliance function to a core pillar of enterprise security. This funding allows us to scale faster and meet the growing demand from organizations that need real-time visibility and control over every kind of identity operating in their environment,” said Linx co-founder and CEO Israel Duanis.
