Clutch Security: Pioneering the Future of Non-Human Identity Security with Series A Funding

SignalFire Management Services has led a $20 million Series A funding round for Clutch Security, a company specializing in non-human identity (NHI) security. As enterprises shift toward treating identities as pivotal security perimeters, the emergence of NHIs—critical assets like API keys, service accounts, and tokens—has raised fundamental new vulnerabilities, as attackers no longer need to hack in if they can log in via these underestimated backdoors. Clutch Security, in collaboration with Lightspeed Venture Partners and Merlin Ventures, intends to address this challenge through a universal security platform that provides visibility, monitoring, and lifecycle management of NHIs. This innovative solution supports a Zero Trust approach, ensuring real-time asset tracking and reducing risks of exploitation by espousing ephemeral, auto-expiring identities over static ones. Under the leadership of cybersecurity veterans CEO Ofir Har-Chen, CTO Sagi Haas, and VP of R&D Tal Kimhi, Clutch aims to bolster its platform’s reach from Tel Aviv to the U.S., supported by SignalFire's AI-driven Beacon talent engine and market outreach efforts.
