Andromeda Security, the fast-growing identity security startup modernizing access and entitlements across both human and non-human identities (NHIs), has officially announced a strategic investment from Sorenson Capital. This partnership comes at a critical time, as identity-related breaches now account for 74% of all cybersecurity incidents and over 90% of cloud entitlements remain over-provisioned, creating an urgent demand for smarter, automated identity controls.

What sets Andromeda apart is its foundational architecture built from day one to support the full identity lifecycle — spanning visibility, access, risk context, and remediation — without the limitations of wedge products or legacy bolt-ons. Co-founded by the team behind Avi Networks (acquired by VMware), Andromeda is engineered to address today’s most pressing security challenges with deep context, intelligent automation, and real-time entitlement enforcement.

Sorenson Capital's investment is based on:

• Years of sector research, including conversations with over two dozen identity vendors and dozens of CISOs.

• A shared belief that legacy identity tools lack behavioral context, and modern solutions must be action-oriented — not just visibility-driven.

• Recognition that point solutions in PAM, UAR, JIT, or NHI cannot scale into full platforms unless built intentionally from the start.

Sorenson’s conviction solidified after meeting Andromeda CEO Murali Basaviah, who addressed every shortfall the firm had previously observed in the identity space — from lack of real automation to the absence of platform-grade infrastructure.

With this investment, Andromeda will accelerate its mission to secure every identity—human and machine—at cloud scale, and continue building what Sorenson calls “one of the defining security platforms of this era.”
