We Just Raised Series B. Here's What it Means for the Future of IGA.

We're at one of those rare moments where an entire software category gets rewritten from scratch. Not improved. Replaced. AI isn't making identity governance faster - it's making the old architecture obsolete.

When Niv and I started Linx two years ago, we made a bet: that the identity governance category was overdue for a fundamental rethink, and that AI-native architecture - not AI bolted onto legacy infrastructure - would be what made that possible. That the future of IGA wasn't periodic reviews and manual workflows. It was continuous, autonomous, and built for a world where humans, machines, and AI agents all coexist inside the same enterprise.

Today, I'm proud to announce that Linx Security has raised a $50M Series B, led by Insight Partners, with continued support from Cyberstarts and Index Ventures - bringing our total funding to $83 million. And alongside this round, we've launched Linx Autopilot: the industry's first AI agent purpose-built for Identity Governance and Administration.

This isn't just a funding milestone. It's a signal that the IGA category is at an inflection point - and that Linx is leading it.

Why Now

The identity landscape has been transformed by three forces converging at once.

First, AI agents are proliferating inside every enterprise - not as experiments, but as active participants in business workflows. They hold credentials. They access sensitive systems. They act with autonomy. And almost none of today's governance frameworks were built to manage them.

Second, the attack surface has exploded. One breach, one over-privileged service account, one dormant credential - and the damage can be catastrophic. Boards know it. CISOs feel it daily. The compliance frameworks are finally catching up.

Third - and this is what excites me most - the technology is finally ready. AI-native architecture makes it possible to do in seconds what traditional tools take weeks to accomplish: detect, evaluate risk in context, and act. Not reactively. Continuously.

IGA was always treated as a necessary evil. A compliance checkbox. Something you suffered through. We built Linx on the premise that it doesn't have to be that way.

What We're Building - and Why It Matters Now

The enterprise of 2026 doesn't look like the enterprise IGA was designed for. AI agents are being provisioned inside every workflow. Non-human identities now outnumber human ones. The attack surface isn't growing linearly - it's multiplying. And the governance frameworks built for a world of on-prem directories and annual access reviews were simply never designed for this reality.

Linx is built AI-native from the ground up - not AI layered onto legacy architecture. That distinction matters more than it might sound. It's what allows us to move from periodic, reactive governance to something fundamentally different: continuous, autonomous identity security that operates at the speed of the business and the speed of the threat.

Think of it as having a security operator working 24/7 on your behalf - one that monitors every identity in your environment, detects risk in context as it emerges, and acts before the damage is done. When a privileged account behaves unexpectedly, it responds. When an AI agent is provisioned with excessive permissions, it sees it. When an employee moves roles and leaves ghost access behind, it remediates - before an attacker finds it first.

Security teams don't lose control. They gain leverage. The tedious, repetitive work gets handled autonomously. The decisions that require human judgment get escalated. That's what modern identity governance looks like - and that's what we're delivering.

To the People Who Made This Possible

None of this happens without the people.

To Niv - twenty years of shared history, and I still learn something from you every week. Building this company alongside you has been one of the great privileges of my career. You push this product to places I wouldn't have imagined.

To Sarit - your technical vision and relentless standards are woven into every line of this platform. What you've built with the engineering team is something we'll be proud of for a long time.

To our entire Linx team - 100 people who bet on a vision and made it real. Every customer win, every product breakthrough, every late night - that's us, together. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built as a team.

To Teddie, Elan and the Insight Partners team - your belief in where this market is going gave us a true partner for the next chapter. And to Gili at Cyberstarts, and Shardul at Index Ventures - you've been with us from the beginning, and your conviction in this vision has never wavered. We don't get here without all of you.

And to our customers - the security leaders and identity practitioners who chose to build with us early, challenged us to be better, and trusted us with what matters most. You are the reason we do this. Your trust is the highest validation we know.

What Comes Next

The market isn't just ready, it's asking for it. Every security leader we talk to, every enterprise scrambling to govern AI agents they provisioned last quarter with no visibility into what they can access, confirms what we believed two years ago: this category was overdue, and the moment is now.

What comes next is simple to say and hard to execute: we scale. We're growing the team, accelerating the Autopilot roadmap, and going deeper with the enterprises already trusting us to govern millions of identities in production.

The IGA category is being rewritten. The window to define what the next generation looks like is open.

We intend to define it.
