Hush Security Raises $30M Series A for Enterprise AI Identity

Hush Security has successfully raised $30 million in Series A funding. This investment will help expand its identity security platform, specifically for AI agents and other non-human users within enterprise systems. Akamai Technologies joined as a strategic investor, alongside existing investors Battery Ventures and YL Ventures. This new funding brings Hush's total capital raised to $41 million since emerging from stealth less than a year ago. The company plans to use the money to grow its engineering and sales teams, particularly in the United States. They also aim to deepen integrations with existing identity and access management systems and form new corporate partnerships. Hush's platform works by placing AI agents in a central registry. It removes persistent credentials, instead giving agents narrowly defined, just-in-time permissions when needed. Each action is logged, and administrators can revoke access through a centralized kill switch. This approach applies the principle of least privilege. Kyndryl has already deployed Hush internally and is reselling the platform to its enterprise customers. This development is crucial for businesses looking to securely integrate AI into their operations.
