In an era where the boundaries between humans and machines are increasingly blurred, cloud identity protection has become a pressing concern for DevOps teams. Rezonate, a Boston- and Tel Aviv-based startup, is poised to tackle this challenge with its innovative agent-less cloud identity protection platform.
Announcing $8.7 Million in Seed Funding
Rezonate is emerging from stealth mode today, announcing an impressive $8.7 million seed funding round led by State of Mind Ventures and Flybridge, with participation from toDay Ventures, Merlin Ventures, and a number of angel investors.
Modernizing Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Rezonate is part of a new wave of modern IAM startups that aim to address the limitations of traditional IAM solutions. These legacy systems are struggling to keep pace with the rapidly evolving cloud infrastructure landscape, creating new attack surfaces as enterprises move to the cloud at an ever-increasing rate.
The Growing Threat of Security Breaches
According to Gartner, by 2023, 75% of security failures will result from inadequate management of identities, access, and privileges. This alarming statistic highlights the need for a more effective approach to cloud identity protection.
Meet the Founders: Roy Akerman and Ori Amiga
Rezonate’s co-founders, Roy Akerman and Ori Amiga, bring extensive experience in cybersecurity to their venture. Akerman was previously the head of Israeli Cyberdefense Operations, while Amiga led R&D for this unit. Both received the Medal of Honor for their contributions to Israel’s National Security.
"We’re living in a rapidly changing cloudscape with an explosion of human and machine identities," said Akerman. "This requires a different approach – one that prioritizes cloud identities and access at its core, constantly adapting to current dynamics, and gives defenders and builders the means to act confidently."
Rezonate’s Identity Storyline
At the heart of Rezonate’s platform lies its innovative Identity Storyline, which provides DevOps and security teams with a context-rich dashboard that helps them understand security risk across their cloud estate. This dashboard offers an easy-to-read layout, clearly outlining each user’s access privileges and highlighting potential issues.
Real-time Security Gaps Detection
Rezonate promises to automatically detect security gaps and abnormal access attempts in real-time, allowing DevOps teams to respond quickly to emerging threats. The platform can even terminate sessions and remove access rights to prevent unauthorized activity.
"Within minutes of deploying our solution, Rezonate’s platform can identify cloud identity and access risks and provide guidance for remediating them," said Amiga. "In a dynamic cloud world, DevOps teams need a solution as dynamic and automated as the infrastructure they need to protect."
A Proven Track Record
Rezonate has already demonstrated its effectiveness in real-world scenarios, with active customers leveraging its platform to solve critical security gaps daily.
"The fact that we’ve achieved this in just 10 months from our first line of code affirms the criticality of the cloud identity and access issue," added Amiga. "We’re confident that Rezonate will be a game-changer for DevOps teams seeking to protect their cloud infrastructure."
Conclusion
Rezonate’s innovative agent-less cloud identity protection platform is poised to revolutionize the way DevOps teams approach security in the cloud. With its $8.7 million seed funding round, this promising startup is well-positioned to address the growing threat of security breaches stemming from inadequate management of identities, access, and privileges.
By leveraging Rezonate’s Identity Storyline and real-time security gaps detection capabilities, DevOps teams can now respond quickly and effectively to emerging threats, ensuring their cloud infrastructure remains secure and protected.
