Cybersecurity firm Red Access bags $17m Series A funding

Red Access

Red Access, a cyber company specialising in agentless security solutions for SaaS, browsers and corporate applications, has announced the completion of a $17m Series A.

The investment was led by Norwest Venture Partners, with additional backing from Ten Eleven Ventures, SentinelOne’s S Ventures, Elron Ventures and Singtel Innov8 Ventures.

Founded to simplify how organisations protect modern digital environments, Red Access delivers a lightweight Security Service Edge (SSE) solution that operates without agents or major network changes. Its platform is designed to provide protection where employees interact with data, whether on browsers, corporate applications or when using emerging technologies such as GenAI.

The company intends to use the new funding to accelerate its U.S. expansion in 2025 and enhance product innovation. Red Access also plans to strengthen its team across sales, marketing, product and engineering, while continuing to build out its executive leadership and board. Douglas Brockett has joined as executive chairman, and Dror Nahumi, general partner at Norwest, has joined the board of directors.

Red Access positions itself as a clear alternative to traditional SSE tools, which often require complex network migrations or the use of enterprise browsers that protect only themselves. Its session-level approach integrates directly with existing IT environments, avoiding the need for costly rip-and-replace projects.

The company has highlighted growing demand from managed security service providers and value-added resellers, pointing to a channel-led go-to-market strategy as it scales. Its technology enables core SSE use cases such as data loss prevention, secure access to corporate apps and protection for hybrid workers, extending coverage even to unmanaged devices on untrusted networks.

Red Access CEO and co-founder 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 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.”
