News Summary

SGNL, a startup focused on identity security, has raised $30 million in a Series A funding round led by Brightmind Partners, with participation from Costanoa, Microsoft (via M12), and Cisco Investments. SGNL aims to revolutionize ID security with its zero-standing privilege approach, where user access is conditional rather than permanent. This approach is built on the continuous access evaluation protocol (CAEP), which has been adopted by major companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco. SGNL’s platform allows enterprises to streamline access management and reduce vulnerabilities by closing access once conditions change. The company has already garnered multiple major enterprise customers and continues to grow its impact in the cybersecurity landscape.
