Observability-based architecture protects identities—human, non-human, and Agentic AI—across all enterprise environments, while helping businesses safely accelerate cloud and AI adoption
AuthMind Inc., a leading innovator in identity protection, announced a $19.3 million seed round led by Cheyenne Ventures. The round included participation from investors at Black Opal Ventures, K2 Access Fund, the Jefferies Family Office, Silver Buckshot Ventures, and Blu Venture Investors, as well as existing investors Ballistic Ventures and IBM.
Modern enterprises face growing risk from fragmented identity infrastructures spanning on-prem, hybrid, cloud, and SaaS environments, intensified by the rise of shadow IT, non-human workloads, and agentic AI. As a result, traditional security tools have failed to keep pace with today’s identity-based threats, including sophisticated, “low-and-slow” and “living-off-the-land” attacks, conducted by groups like Volt Typhoon, which mimics legitimate identity activity. Enterprises need innovative identity protection solutions built on contextual identity observability to effectively detect and stay protected against evolving threats.
AuthMind’s observability-based approach protects all identities across multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. Holistic identity observability results in AuthMind’s highest fidelity ability to identify risks and attacks in real time. It empowers security teams to rapidly and securely drive business transformation through cloud adoption and AI integration.
