Unixi has raised $21.5 million in a Series A funding round to support its platform for managing browser-based application logins. The company currently monitors 500,000 endpoints for 16 enterprise customers.
Why it matters
The platform aims to extend identity provider control to legacy or modern browser applications that do not natively support security standards like SAML or OIDC. This allows organizations to standardize access management across a wider range of software.
Unixi uses a browser plugin to observe and replay login flows, authenticating sessions via Key Derived Authentication that uses SHA-512 hashing on four unique identifier keys.
The players
Unixi
This cybersecurity firm specializes in browser-based authentication and identity provider integration for applications.
The details
Founded in 2023, the startup maintains operations in New York City, Toronto, and Tel Aviv with a staff of 27 employees. Its technology automates security by mapping login flows without requiring native API integrations from the target applications.
Timeline
Unixi was founded in 2023.
The $21.5 million Series A round was raised in September 2026.
The Tech Race
Unixi is positioning itself within the crowded identity and access management market by targeting the long tail of applications that lack native support for Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). This approach challenges traditional gateway-based security models by moving the authentication layer directly into the browser environment.
Enterprise users may see their login workflows streamlined as IT departments deploy Unixi to manage access for non-standard applications. This reduces the friction of using multiple disparate software tools that previously required separate, manual credential management.
The takeaway
As companies continue to rely on a mix of modern and legacy web applications, bridging the gap between identity providers and browser-based interfaces is becoming a priority for IT teams. Businesses should evaluate whether their current access management tools cover the entirety of their application stack.
