Nudge Security Raises $22.5M Series A Led by Cerberus Ventures

Gunderson Dettmer represented client Nudge Security, the leading innovator in SaaS and AI security governance, in its $22.5 million Series A financing led by Cerberus Ventures with participation from Ballistic Ventures, Forgepoint Capital and Squadra Ventures. 

Nudge Security’s automated, policy-driven guardrails reach employees when and where they work, enabling rapid technology adoption while minimizing risk and sprawl. Through unrivaled discovery capabilities, AI-driven risk insights and behavioral science-based engagement, Nudge makes security a natural part of how modern work gets done rather than an obstacle to innovation.

In the announcement of the transaction, Nudge Security co-founder and CEO Russell Spitler said, “In order to secure workforce AI use at scale, you need to consider the entire SaaS ecosystem, including all SaaS and AI tools, their integrations, and the non-human identities that connect them. This funding will enable us to continue to expand our capabilities and help organizations confidently embrace innovation while maintaining security and control.”

The Gunderson deal team was led by Dan Green and Sogoal Salari and included Rose Wang and Megan Wiener.
