ClearVector, a Reston, VA-based identity-driven security company, raised $13m in Series A financing.
The round, which brought total funding to $16m, was led by Scale Venture Partners, with participation from Okta Ventures, Inner Loop Capital, and existing investor Menlo Ventures. In conjunction with the funding. Ariel Tseitlin, Partner at Scale Venture Partners will be joining the Board of Directors.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations, hiring across product, engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success.
Founded in 2020 by former Mandiant/FireEye executive and NSA alumnus John Laliberte, ClearVector is building an identity-driven security platform that enables organizations to detect, investigate, and stop threats, and will use the funding to expand the team to meet customer demand.
By focusing on identities and learning how a company’s identities—humans, machines, third parties or AI—operate at runtime, the platform proactively counters adversaries as their activity manifests through the misuse and abuse of corporate identities.
In details, the platform provides organizations with:
- Real-time Threat Detection and Instant Mitigation: Detect, investigate, and stop adversaries in seconds without sifting through logs. The “Big Red Button” functionality allows teams to stop attacks with a single click, and conduct identity-aware investigations effortlessly.
- Comprehensive Identity Context: Automatically attributes siloed activity to the originating identities across control planes, cloud workloads (virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes), and third-party SaaS applications (e.g., GitHub).
- A Unified Security Model: ClearVector continuously learns how corporate identities—human, machine, third-party, or AI—operate, and builds adaptive risk models.
- Patented Identity Graph Technology: With a purpose-built, patented proprietary graph—currently comprising over 1 billion nodes and 4 billion edges and growing daily—enables identity-tracing and attribution across complex environments.
- Tailored Security at Runtime: Dynamically adapts to each organization’s environment, making it difficult for adversaries to re-use capabilities across targets, providing defenders a strategic advantage while significantly increasing the adversary’s operational costs.
