After successfully detecting cloud identity-based attacks that bypassed existing security solutions and closing multiple six and seven figure license deals with Fortune 500 customers, Permiso has raised a $18.5 million Series A led by Altimeter Capital with participation from Point72 Ventures. Permiso’s library of detection signals feeds into their unified threat prevention, detection and response platform to provide organizations unprecedented visibility into their cloud environments.

Permiso creates a composite, ‘meta’ identity to unify the disparate human and non-human identities within an enterprise and synthesize their runtime activity across the cloud’s attack surface. By providing multi-plane coverage across the layers of cloud environments, Permiso constructs user sessions from disparate runtime events that provides security teams the answer to the question ‘what happened in my environment, and should I be concerned?’

“We don’t think in product acronyms when figuring out what detections to build – we observe threat actors in the cloud and follow them wherever they go to build detections in our product that find threat actors quickly and help our customers sleep better at night,” says Ian Ahl, SVP of Permiso’s cloud security research group P0 labs and former head of the Mandiant Advanced Practices and Adversary methods team.

After delivering for customers and significantly increasing revenue since their seed round, Permiso will use this Series A to rapidly increase integrations and introduce new product capabilities to their customers and the market.

Permiso emerged from stealth mode in 2022 and was named as one of the SINET16 Innovators.
