Red Access, a cybersecurity company that provides an agentless security platform for browsers, SaaS and enterprise applications, has announced the close of its Series A funding round.
The company has raised $17m in the round led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from Ten Eleven Ventures, SentinelOne’s S Ventures, Elron Ventures and Singtel Innov8 Ventures.
Red Access has developed a session-based approach to security designed for today’s SaaS, GenAI and hybrid environments. Unlike traditional security solutions that often require heavy infrastructure, agents or complex rollouts, its agentless platform integrates with existing environments such as firewalls, eliminating the need for costly and disruptive network overhauls.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate U.S. expansion in 2025, while also boosting research and development. Red Access plans to strengthen its product innovation and make key hires across sales, marketing, product and engineering teams. The company is also expanding its leadership structure, with Douglas Brockett appointed as executive chairman and Dror Nahumi, general partner at Norwest, joining the board of directors.
Industry analysts have noted that despite widespread interest in Security Service Edge (SSE), adoption has been slow due to cost and complexity. Red Access aims to overcome these challenges by providing a fast-to-deploy, low-friction alternative that extends protection to remote and hybrid workers, including those on unmanaged devices or untrusted networks. The platform supports use cases such as data loss prevention and secure access to corporate applications.
Red Access co-founder and CEO Dor Zvi said, “While the industry talks about ambitious futures, most companies are struggling to fix urgent problems with constrained teams, tight timelines and misaligned priorities. The future of SSE is evolving, but for many organizations, the priority is finding a clear and immediate path to stronger, simpler security that requires minimal architectural changes. 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.”
Norwest general partner Dror Nahumi said, “Red Access has developed fresh technology that eliminates the overhead which has historically hindered SSE adoption. Its agentless approach is already protecting hundreds of thousands of users. It delivers rapid, effective security without requiring application rewrites, intrusive software deployments, or the management of yet another set of agents.”
SentinelOne’s S Ventures SVP of corporate development and head Rob Salvagno said, “Red Access isn’t just improving SSE. They are dismantling the assumptions it was built on. They’ve stripped away the complexity and heavy architecture that have made traditional solutions so painful to deploy.”
Singtel Innov8 country director of Israel Gil Prashker said, “Red Access brings a rare combination of enterprise-grade protection and ease of use. Its ability to deliver SSE capabilities without adding complexity, slowing performance or disrupting workflows is a major breakthrough, especially for globally distributed workforces that need fast, flexible and secure access everywhere.”
