| Nudge Security | Nudge Security is a cybersecurity startup securing modern organizations through the power of the modern workforce. It offers a cybersecurity platform focused on managing risk across SaaS and generative AI tools at what it terms the “Workforce Edge.” It provides automated discovery of shadow IT, uncovering every cloud and SaaS asset in anorganization without needing intrusive agents or network changes. The platform then delivers real-time “nudges”—contextual, behavioral prompts—to employees when potentially risky behavior is detected, such as unsafe account configurations, weak passwords, or unmanaged app usage. Nudge also provides identity governance workflows, helping IT teams automate lifecycle management for user access, offboarding, and OAuth permissions. To support security teams in making informed decisions, it generates continuous insights on third-party risk, supply chain exposure, and app misconfigurations. The company emphasizes secure design: its systems encrypt data in transit and at rest, enforce least-privilege access, and hold SOC 2 Type II certification. | $22.5M | Series A | Nov 18, 2025 |  |
