Hush Security

Hush Security sells software that secures what it calls the non-human workforce, which covers secrets, service accounts and other non-human identities (NHIs) as well as a growing workforce of AI agents. In its July 2026 release the company says the platform eliminates standing access and gives AI agents and NHIs scoped, just-in-time access, with every action governed, logged and revocable from one place.^[1]

Hush Security described three functions for AI agents in its July 2026 announcement. Discover identifies every desktop assistant, enterprise AI agent and custom-built agent, whether managed or shadow, and maps the MCPs, tools and resources each one can reach. Control registers every agent, maps it to existing permissions and enforces least agency by default, with just-in-time (JIT) access and a kill switch. Audit keeps a trail of every agent interaction for security investigations, governance and compliance.^[1]

Hush Security launched in September 2025 as a replacement for legacy vaults and secrets managers, using secretless, policy-driven, just-in-time access enforced at runtime. Help Net Security listed three capabilities delivered in cloud and on-premises environments: runtime visibility and discovery, runtime posture analysis, and prevention and management. The company calls its technology patent-pending and says it is built on SPIFFE, the Secure Production Identity Framework For Everyone.^[2],[3]

Hush Security also offers a free assessment that detects secrets in code, including API keys, credentials and service accounts, identifies their owners and maps how they are used at runtime between applications, services and AI agents. The company says one click then migrates an organization to a secretless architecture in its enterprise edition.^[2]

Hush Security is a Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity startup that emerged from stealth in September 2025. The company says it was founded by the team behind Meta Networks, which Proofpoint acquired in 2019.^[3],[2],[1]

Hush Security's July 2026 release carried a photo captioned "Hush Security founders (left to right): Alon Horowitz, Micha Rave, Chen Nisnkorn, Shmulik Ladkani." The same release described the company as less than a year out of stealth. The sources reviewed give no founding year, headcount or revenue figure.^[1]

Hush Security announced a $30 million Series A on July 28, 2026, with Akamai Technologies joining as a strategic investor alongside existing investors Battery Ventures and YL Ventures. The company said the round brings its total capital raised to $41 million.^[1]

Hush Security did not name a lead investor for the Series A, and none of the sources reviewed disclose a valuation. The company said it will use the funding to expand its engineering and sales teams, particularly in the United States, to accelerate support for enterprise identity and access management (IAM) and agentic ecosystems, including deeper integrations with enterprise AI platforms, and to strengthen and expand corporate partnerships.^[1]

Hush Security's chief executive officer and co-founder is Micha Rave, according to the company's July 2026 release. Help Net Security identified Rave as CEO in September 2025.^[1],[2]

Hush Security's release names four founders in a photo caption: Alon Horowitz, Micha Rave, Chen Nisnkorn and Shmulik Ladkani. The sources reviewed do not state titles for Horowitz, Nisnkorn or Ladkani, and they do not say which founders worked at Meta Networks.^[1]

Hush Security counts Kyndryl, which the release calls the world's largest IT infrastructure services provider, as a customer and reseller. According to the release, Kyndryl has deployed Hush internally and has begun reselling it to its own enterprise clients. Adeel Saeed, SVP and CTO of Global Cyber Resiliency at Kyndryl, said Kyndryl is working with Hush at scale globally.^[1]

Hush Security added Akamai Technologies as a strategic investor in the Series A. Ramanath Iyer, Chief Strategist at Akamai, said AI agents are driving the next transformation in enterprise security and that identity is the piece most companies have not solved yet.^[1]
