Cerby has raised $54 million in Series B funding from investors including Deloitte Ventures, Engage Fund, Squarepoint and Valor to address enterprise security challenges posed by disconnected applications. The platform automates identity management for applications lacking SSO or SCIM support. The company reported 130% year-over-year ARR growth and tripled its six-figure accounts, with a 130% net revenue retention rate. Cerby has appointed new executives including Ernie Tkac as chief revenue officer and Manny Ataebi as chief marketing officer, whilst launching the Vanguard Partner Programme. The platform bridges the gap between modern identity protocols and legacy or niche applications by wrapping security controls around apps not built for them, enabling automated provisioning, MFA enforcement and centralised access management across enterprise environments.

Cerby wins Best Identity and Access Management Platform in The Hacker News 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards. Cerby Team Ready to see what Cerby can do for your disconnected apps? Recognition honors the company's innovation in building industry-first identity solutions that eliminate enterprise blind spots and secure disconnected applications. ALAMEDA, Calif., June 12, 2026 - Cerby, the identity automation leader making security seamless across all enterprise applications, has announced it has been named a winner in the Best Identity and Access Management Platform category in The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards. The award recognizes Cerby's continued platform innovation and its commitment to empowering organizations to eliminate identity blind spots, automate lifecycle management, and deliver superior governance outcomes. The Cybersecurity Stars Awards honor standout solutions that transform the cybersecurity landscape through innovation, proactive defense mechanisms, and measurable customer value. Cerby was recognized for its differentiated approach to extending centralized identity controls to disconnected applications, which are difficult to manage because they lack APIs and often do not support modern standards like SAML, OIDC, or SCIM. "A lot of business critical apps were never built to plug into modern identity systems, so they get managed by hand or not at all," said Belsasar Lepe, co-founder and CEO of Cerby. "Cerby was built to bring them under the same controls as your managed applications, even when they don't support identity standards like SCIM or SAML." Purpose-built for modern enterprises, Cerby integrates seamlessly with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, SailPoint, and other IGA and IDP solutions, allowing existing identity controls to reach further with no replacement required. Using an advanced connector model, in which integrations are trained rather than developed, Cerby delivers rapid time-to-value by deploying new connectors within seven to 10 days. The platform's unique self-healing capability automatically detects interface changes and repairs connectors, making comprehensive application coverage sustainable at scale.
