Obsidian Security raises $85M as AI agents create cybersecurity’s next major attack surface
Obsidian Security Inc. has raised an $85 million Series D funding round at a post-money valuation of $1.1 billion as enterprises increasingly look to secure autonomous artificial intelligence agents accessing cloud applications, Chief Executive Hasan Imam said today in an exclusive interview with theCUBE with me at our NYSE Wired studio in NYC.
The funding will be used to expand research and development and accelerate go-to-market investments as organizations rapidly adopt AI agents that interact with enterprise software using non-human identities.
“The raise is on the back of two things,” Imam said. “We have seen incredible growth among our largest customers, with more than 14 customers paying us more than $1 million annually and more than 100 customers paying over $100,000 per year. The second is what we’ve seen over the last year with agents accessing data inside third-party applications.”
Imam said more than 65% of the company’s enterprise customers have already granted AI agents access to data within third-party software-as-a-service applications, creating new security challenges that traditional identity and access management platforms were not designed to address.
