The cyber company Way Security has raised $20 million in a seed round led by Insight Partners and Glilot Capital. The company is developing an AI-based platform for operating identity and access management (IAM) systems in organizations, designed to help them derive value from the systems they have purchased and to reduce the manual work required to connect them to various applications and services in the corporate environment.
Way Security was founded in 2025 by CEO Yossi Brishev and CTO Yonatan Rosenberg. The two, who previously held senior positions in the cyber industry, worked together at Sygnia, where they accompanied large organizations in complex IAM projects and participated in response teams for some of the most complex cyber incidents in the world. The company currently employs 30 people.
Identity and access management has become one of the central control mechanisms in organizational security, but also one of the most expensive. The implementation and operation of these systems rely on manual labor, many development hours, and complex adjustments. Organizations that purchase identity platforms often discover that the cost of the software is only part of the investment, and that the cost of integration and operation is sometimes 3 to 5 times the cost of the software itself. The main difficulty lies in connecting applications and services, enforcing access policies, and managing permissions over time.
The Way Security platform allows organizations to enforce their identity management solutions on every identity and system in the organization, completely agnostically and without dependence on technological limitations—including legacy systems, internal corporate applications, and custom-developed solutions that were not originally designed for compatibility with modern IAM systems. The solution allows organizations for the first time to cross the finish line of their identity management program and avoid multi-year projects that consume heavy resources.
In a conversation with Calcalist, Yossi Brishev, the company's CEO and co-founder, stated:
"We both came from the trenches and led security teams and set out on a mission to build a solution that we experienced ourselves and for which there was no adequate response. We have an understanding that not many have. We are not just 8200 alumni, but we felt the pain and we are building a solution that helps organizations cross the finish line of the identity field. No solution provides the complete answer. Today, identity management is the first line of defense and it is the most important investment that organizations have. We give the organization the ability to understand where you are working and what systems you are dealing with. I complement existing identification systems today like Okta, which requires implementation for all the organization's systems. In an average organization, there are many systems and you need to connect to all of them, and we shorten the connection dramatically and have solved the problem of interfacing with many systems. All the solutions that exist on the market today need me as a complement; there is no solution in the identity world that knows how to enforce itself on all systems in the organization, and this requires dedicated work. We are one year old and we have customers in Europe and the United States at an advanced stage. We already have actual sales."
