ClearVector, a Reston, VA-based developer of an identity-driven security system designed to help organizations protect themselves in a cloud-native and cloud-first future. The company’s platform offers information support, one-click remediation, a real-time notification facility, activity status, and others, enabling clients to be prepared for a breach well in advance.
ClearVector was funded $13 million Series A funding round, aimed at accelerating the growth and capabilities of its identity-driven cybersecurity platform. The new investment was led by Scale Venture Partners, with participation from Okta Ventures, Inner Loop Capital, and existing angel investor Menlo Ventures, in conjunction with the funding. Ariel Tseitlin, Partner at Scale Venture Partners, will join the Board of Directors.
Founded in 2020, ClearVector protects organizations from modern threats by continuously monitoring and controlling identity and access across cloud-native environments. Unlike traditional perimeter-based models, ClearVector’s platform focuses on identifying and mitigating risks at the identity layer, which has become a top attack vector in recent years due to the widespread adoption of remote work and cloud technologies.
ClearVector CEO and co-founder John Laliberte said they built ClearVector to give enterprises real-time visibility and control over how identities behave across the entire environment. With this funding, they’re scaling to meet the growing demand for zero-trust and identity-first security.
The new capital will enhance product development, expand go-to-market strategies, and grow the company’s engineering and customer success teams. ClearVector plans to double its headcount over the next 12 months, with a strong focus on hiring experts in cloud security, machine learning, and behavioral analytics.
ClearVector’s platform uses a combination of behavioral analytics, real-time policy enforcement, and machine learning to detect and respond to anomalies in identity usage. This includes everything from excessive privilege escalations to suspicious lateral movements, often precursors to serious breaches. The company supports integration with major identity providers and cloud platforms, making it easier for customers to adopt identity-first security without overhauling their existing infrastructure.
Several mid-sized enterprises in the technology, financial services, and healthcare sectors have already adopted the platform. According to Allen, customer feedback has driven the company’s rapid iteration and feature development.
The cybersecurity industry has seen a surge in funding over the past few years as organizations grapple with a growing number of sophisticated threats. According to Gartner, identity-related attacks account for over 80% of breaches, making identity protection a top priority for CISOs worldwide.
ClearVector’s funding comes at a time when security budgets are under more scrutiny, but decision-makers remain committed to tools that improve resilience without increasing complexity. The startup’s identity-first model offers a targeted, efficient way to reduce risk without adding unnecessary friction to users and operations.
Looking ahead, ClearVector plans to expand its product capabilities into new areas, including non-human identity monitoring, advanced threat simulations, and integration with broader XDR (Extended Detection and Response) ecosystems. ClearVector is well-positioned to be a key player in the next generation of cybersecurity, starting with identity at its core.
