Red Access has raised $17 million in Series A funding led by Norwest Venture Partners, with backing from Ten Eleven Ventures, SentinelOne’s S Ventures, Elron Ventures and Singtel Innov8 Ventures. The company, based in Tel Aviv, is expanding into the U.S. and doubling down on product development. Its focus: delivering browser and application security without the heavy footprint of traditional solutions.Security Service Edge (SSE) adoption has been slower than the hype suggested. Most enterprises want to move in that direction - analyst surveys put intent at nearly 80% over the next two years - but the reality of network migrations, overlapping tools and budget pressures has left many stuck. With hybrid work now the default for most organizations, there’s a clear appetite for something lighter that can protect users wherever they are, without tearing out existing infrastructure.That’s where Red Access comes in. Instead of requiring agents or full-scale network overhauls, the company works at the session level across browsers, SaaS and corporate apps. It integrates with what organizations already have in place, like firewalls, so security extends beyond the office perimeter without the delays and complexity of rip-and-replace projects. The model enables data loss prevention, secure access and protection for remote workers - even when they’re on personal devices or tapping into generative AI tools.The funding gives Red Access room to scale in the U.S. market, build out its executive team and accelerate R&D. Partners are a big part of that strategy, with growing demand from MSSPs and resellers who want to bring session-based SSE protection to their customers. For them, Red Access represents a way to meet enterprise demand for simplified security while keeping deployments quick and manageable.
