Red Access, the agentless platform built to simplify security across all browsers, SaaS and corporate apps, today announced that it has secured a $17 million Series A funding round led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from Ten Eleven Ventures, SentinelOne’s S Ventures, Elron Ventures and Singtel Innov8 Ventures.

The new investment will fuel U.S. expansion and accelerate product innovation as Red Access brings a simple, session-based approach to security. The platform is designed for the way people work today across SaaS, GenAI and hybrid environments, without the heavy infrastructure, agents or rollout delays of traditional solutions.

Security That Works Without the Heavy Lift

Despite growing analyst enthusiasm and aggressive vendor roadmaps, widespread adoption of Security Service Edge (SSE) still has not materialized. While 79% of organizations plan to adopt SSE within the next two years, many are struggling to move from intent to execution. The gap is driven by operational complexity, cost concerns and confusion over where to begin. With 71% of enterprises operating in hybrid models, most are seeking simpler ways to secure networks without overhauling infrastructure or aligning multiple teams.

Until now, organizations had only two choices. They could choose an SSE that required a full network migration, or they could use an enterprise browser that secured only itself. They need the benefits of both, but they cannot afford the cost of a network overhaul or adding multiple tools. Red Access eliminates the complexity that has slowed SSE adoption. The platform integrates directly with existing environments like firewalls, so there’s no need for rip-and-replace projects or major architectural changes. This allows organizations to extend security beyond the corporate perimeter.

By operating at the session level, Red Access delivers precise protection in browsers, applications and other enterprise assets where users interact with data and threats are most likely to appear. With an agentless architecture, deployment is fast and hassle-free for IT and security teams. The platform enables key SSE use cases, including data loss prevention (DLP), secure access to corporate applications and protection for remote and hybrid workers. It extends protection even when employees are on untrusted networks, using unmanaged devices or interacting with GenAI tools.

“While the industry talks about ambitious futures, most companies are struggling to fix urgent problems with constrained teams, tight timelines and misaligned priorities,” said Dor Zvi, Co-Founder and CEO of Red Access. “The future of SSE is evolving, but for many organizations, the priority is finding a clear and immediate path to stronger, simpler security that requires minimal architectural changes. We built Red Access to cut through the noise with fast deployment, seamless integration and uncompromising security that aligns with the way people work today.”
