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.”

Fueling U.S. Growth and Channel-Led Strategy

The new funding will also support the expansion of Red Access’ U.S presence in 2025, alongside continued investment in R&D and key hires across sales, marketing, product and engineering. The company is also expanding its executive leadership team and board, with Douglas Brockett joining as Executive Chairman and Dror Nahumi, General Partner at Norwest, joining the board of directors.

With rising demand from MSSPs and value-added resellers, the company is prioritizing a channel-led go-to-market strategy to deliver fast, frictionless SSE protection to global enterprises.

“Red Access has developed fresh technology that eliminates the overhead which has historically hindered SSE adoption,” said Nahumi. “Its agentless approach is already protecting hundreds of thousands of users. It delivers rapid, effective security without requiring application rewrites, intrusive software deployments, or the management of yet another set of agents.”

“Red Access isn’t just improving SSE. They are dismantling the assumptions it was built on,” said Rob Salvagno, SVP of Corporate Development and Head of SentinelOne’s S Ventures. “They’ve stripped away the complexity and heavy architecture that have made traditional solutions so painful to deploy.”

“Red Access brings a rare combination of enterprise-grade protection and ease of use,” said Gil Prashker, Country Director of Israel at Singtel Innov8. “Its ability to deliver SSE capabilities without adding complexity, slowing performance or disrupting workflows is a major breakthrough, especially for globally distributed workforces that need fast, flexible and secure access everywhere.”
