Israeli agentless security platform startup Red Access Ltd. announced today that it has raised $17 million in new funding to fuel its U.S. expansion and accelerate product development.

Founded in 2021, Red Access offers an agentless security platform designed to transform how organizations protect web sessions. The company says its solution requires no installation of agents or browser extensions, or the use of special browsers, making deployment quick and easy across any browsing context.

Where Red Access differs from other companies is that it secures web activity at the session level and, in doing so, provides real‑time protections such as phishing defense, prevention of brand-new threats, web-based data loss prevention and unified extension management, all without introducing latency or disrupting user experience.

The company’s platform safeguards any browser, web app, software-as-a-service application (including generative artificial intelligence tools) and hybrid workflows, whether users are on corporate-managed devices, bring your own device, unmanaged endpoints, or untrusted networks.

Red Access also provides comprehensive management and visibility for administrators that allows teams to enforce access and data policies, monitor browsing behavior, control shadow SaaS use and apply zero‑trust network access measures, all from a single interface, without rearchitecting infrastructure.

“The future of security service edge is evolving, but for many organizations, the priority is finding a clear and immediate path to stronger, simpler security that requires minimal architectural changes,” said co-founder and Chief Executive Dor Zvi. “We built Red Access to cut through the noise with fast deployment, seamless integration and uncompromising security that aligns with the way people work today.”

The Series A round was led by Norwest Venture Partners LP, with Ten Eleven Ventures, SentinelOne Inc.’s S Ventures, Elron Ventures Ltd. and Singtel Innov8 Pte. Ltd. also participating. As part of the deal, Dror Nahumi, general partner at Norwest, is joining the Red Access board.

“Red Access has developed fresh technology that eliminates the overhead which has historically hindered SSE adoption,” said Nahumi. “Its agentless approach is already protecting hundreds of thousands of users.”
