Santa Clara CA security platform as a service; raised $26M+; drop-in security APIs enabling developers to add auth, secrets, audit, and threat intel to apps.
Pangea is a security platform as a service company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California. The company was founded by Oliver Friedrichs, Sourabh Satish, Oshri Cohen, and Steve Betten — veterans of Phantom Cyber (acquired by Splunk), Splunk, and Cisco — to make security capabilities available to developers as simple, consumable APIs. Just as Stripe made payments accessible via an API without deep payments engineering expertise, Pangea aims to provide authentication, authorization, secrets management, audit logging, threat intelligence, and other security services as composable API building blocks that developers can integrate into applications without becoming security experts.\n\nPangea raised $26 million in seed and Series A funding from investors including Ballistic Ventures, Okta Ventures, and RaymondJames Ventures. Its platform offers more than 20 security services including Secure Audit Log (tamper-evident audit logging), AuthN (authentication), AuthZ (authorization), Vault (secrets management), Embargo (IP-based access restrictions), File Intel (malware file scanning), URL Intel (phishing URL detection), and IP Intel (threat intelligence lookups). Each service is available as a single API endpoint that returns structured responses, integrating into any programming language or framework.\n\nPangea targets developers building applications who need security features but do not have a dedicated security team or the budget to integrate multiple point security vendors. By providing pre-built, compliance-ready security services as APIs, Pangea reduces the time from zero to production-grade security from months to days. The platform is particularly well-suited for startups, SaaS companies, and internal application development teams building data-sensitive applications that need to meet SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance requirements.
Cloud-native identity governance platform converging IGA for cloud, on-premises, and SaaS entitlement management. El Segundo CA; raised $130M+;
Saviynt is a cloud-native identity governance and access management company founded in 2010 and headquartered in El Segundo, California. The company was founded by Sachin Nayyar as a modern alternative to legacy on-premises identity governance and administration (IGA) tools like SailPoint and Oracle Identity Governance that struggled to handle cloud and SaaS environments. Saviynt was built cloud-first, with a multi-tenant SaaS architecture that enables faster deployment and more flexible integration with cloud identity providers, HR systems, and applications compared to legacy IGA tools.\n\nSaviynt raised $130 million in funding led by AB Private Credit Investors and KKR, and serves more than 500 enterprise customers including major financial institutions, healthcare systems, and government agencies. Its platform covers identity lifecycle management — provisioning, de-provisioning, and access request workflows — privileged access management (PAM) for high-risk accounts, application access governance for ERP and custom applications, and cloud entitlements management for AWS, Azure, and GCP. Saviynt's convergence of IGA and PAM in a single platform is a differentiator from point solutions that address these capabilities separately.\n\nThe platform's risk-based approach uses machine learning to analyze access patterns, detect toxic combinations of entitlements that create segregation of duties violations, and recommend least-privilege access certifications. Saviynt's integration library covers Workday, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and hundreds of other enterprise applications, enabling comprehensive access governance across complex hybrid IT environments. The company is positioned as a cloud-generation challenger to legacy IGA vendors in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for IGA.
