Cerby, an identity security automation startup, has raised $40 million in Series B funding to expand protection for disconnected applications and strengthen its integrations across Identity and Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Enterprise Password Management (EPM), and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) systems.

The Series B funding round was led by DTCP, drawing renewed support from Okta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Two Sigma Ventures, underscoring the growing demand for scalable, AI-driven identity solutions across SaaS, cloud, mobile, and on-premise environments.

“Disconnected applications no longer have to be security blind spots,” said Cerby CEO Belsasar Lepe. “This new funding lets us accelerate innovation and reach more organizations that need comprehensive, automated identity protection at scale.”

Scaling the Future of Identity Security

Cerby’s platform redefines identity security automation by bridging a critical gap left by legacy systems. It empowers enterprises to secure disconnected applications, tools often overlooked by traditional IAM or PAM solutions. From EPM to IGA, Cerby integrates seamlessly, eliminating manual tasks and tightening access controls.

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco, Cerby continues to pioneer identity security automation. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and backed by industry-leading investors, Cerby enables IT and security teams to control access, mitigate threats, and simplify identity governance across the most complex application ecosystems.

With enterprises embracing multi-platform ecosystems, the need for unified identity control has never been greater. Cerby addresses this urgency by automating the full identity lifecycle, from authentication and credentials to privileged access and user offboarding, across more than 2,000 applications. This capability not only reduces cybersecurity risks but also boosts IT efficiency and compliance.

Cerby Muling Global Expansion Fueled by Market Demand

Cerby will deploy its new funding to expand its Cerby Application Network, enhance its agentic AI infrastructure, and extend its platform capabilities. The company plans to scale aggressively in North America and the EMEA region, with a focus on targeted growth in Germany, France, the UK, and high-demand Middle Eastern markets.

These regions face growing regulatory and operational pressures, creating fertile ground for Cerby’s automation-driven approach to identity protection.

Belsasar Lepe, co-founder and CEO of Cerby, comments: “From day one, we’ve been laser-focused on eliminating the operational burden and security risk created by manual identity workflows—automatically, intelligently, and at scale. We’re building a world where identity security is fully automated—eliminating human error and ensuring no app is left behind.”

Notably, since its Series A less than two years ago, Cerby has increased its annual recurring revenue (ARR) tenfold and quintupled its global customer base. Today, over 100 organizations, including international names such as L’Oréal, Fox, Allstate, Chime, and Dentsu, rely on Cerby to secure their critical digital workflows.

Bridging the Gap in Identity Governance

Cerby’s innovation lies in its ability to integrate effortlessly with existing security architectures. While many tools fall short in governing non-standard or disconnected apps, Cerby extends centralized governance, enhances visibility, and eliminates identity silos. This makes it invaluable to modern enterprises balancing innovation with compliance and control.

Lance Matthews, Partner at DTCP, said, “The identity security industry is undoubtedly overdue for transformation—and Cerby is leading that shift with a true platform approach. I am confident that together with Belsasar and the team, Cerby will be able to execute on their bold vision, continuing to build on their proven solutions and unique platform.”
