Secret Double Octopus – a market leader in Passwordless solutions for the enterprise workforce – recently announced the successful closure of a Series C funding round. And since 2022, the company has raised another $15 million in capital, including this most recent equity round led by BGV. The funding round – with the backing of new and existing strategic investors, including JVP, SCV & KDDI – will help the company satisfy the increasing demand for its workforce-centered Passwordless authentication solution.
Secret Double Octopus’ approach to workforce authentication has positioned it as a technology leader in the Passwordless space and a strategic player in the larger IAM market. And the company’s authentication platform enables an enterprise-wide Passwordless reality for employees and IT teams at a high scale and in a wide range of verticals like financial firms, defense contractors, local and municipal governments, industrial manufacturing, and other heavily regulated industries. And its unique Passwordless solution leverages several patented technologies to offer a secure and seamless user experience while enhancing the overall cybersecurity posture across the enterprise.
The funds from this latest funding round will be used to accelerate revenue growth and expand the company’s global partnership network. So Secret Double Octopus aims to capitalize on the growing need for modern phishing-resistant authentication solutions for the workforce, especially where heavy reliance on on-premises and hybrid infrastructure is a necessity.
Since the previous funding round, Secret Double Octopus significantly scaled its presence in many Fortune 500 companies across the globe, serving several hundreds of thousands of employees daily, and facilitating over 750 million authentications annually. And this trend encourages the company’s commitment to solving cybersecurity challenges through user-friendly, cutting-edge technologies that align with industry trends and position it as a prominent innovator in the IAM market.
As organizations recognize the importance of securing their digital assets without hindering employees’ workflows, Secret Double Octopus is better positioned than ever to meet these challenging demands. And the Series C funding announced today will enable the company to keep investing in its trailblazing R&D and massively scale its global distribution network and market presence.
