- Cerby to use new capital to further innovate its entire solution suite and scale operations in North America and EMEA region.
- Round was led by DTCP with participation from Okta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Two Sigma Ventures.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cerby, the fastest-growing platform for identity security automation globally, has announced today a $40 million Series B funding round. The round was led by DTCP with participation from existing backers including Okta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Two Sigma Ventures.
As SaaS, cloud, mobile, and on-premise applications continue to proliferate, the enterprise attack surface has expanded dramatically, making the need for autonomous, scalable, state-of-the-art identity security solutions bigger than ever.
Cerby is the first to automate the full identity lifecycle for disconnected applications—from credentials and authentication to lifecycle management and privileged access. It works horizontally across Enterprise Password Management (EPM), Identity and Access Management (IAM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM) systems, helping customers extend protection to the applications and user identities that traditional tools can’t reach.
Cerby will invest the new capital to expand the Cerby Application Network in response to growing customer demand. This will include continued investment in the company’s agentic AI capabilities and making the platform extensible. Cerby will also use the latest funding to further innovate its entire solution suite while scaling go-to-market operations in North America and EMEA.
As part of this strategy, Cerby is prioritizing growth in key markets such as Germany, France, the UK., along with strategic Middle Eastern regions, where regulatory pressure and increasing enterprise complexity are accelerating demand for solutions that secure disconnected applications at scale.
Belsasar Lepe, co-founder and CEO of Cerby, comments: “From day one, we’ve been laser-focused on eliminating the operational burden and security risk created by manual identity workflows—automatically, intelligently, and at scale. We’re building a world where identity security is fully automated—eliminating human error and ensuring no app is left behind.”
Lance Matthews, Partner at DTCP, shares: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Cerby to support them in this exciting new stage of growth. The identity security industry is undoubtedly overdue for transformation—and Cerby is leading that shift with a true platform approach. I am confident that together with Belsasar and the team, Cerby will be able to execute on their bold vision, continuing to build on their proven solutions and unique platform.”
Since raising its Series A less than 20 months ago, Cerby has 10x’d ARR and grown its customer base 5x. The platform now automates identity workflows across more than 2,000 applications and supports over 100 organizations worldwide.
Global brands, including L’Oréal, Fox, Allstate, Chime, and Dentsu rely on Cerby’s platform to automate critical security workflows across their most complex environments.
