Corsha, the first purpose-built Machine Identity Provider (mIDP) for securing machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, has announced a strategic investment from Booz Allen Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Booz Allen Hamilton. This partnership marks a significant milestone in Corsha’s mission to secure operational technology, national defense systems, and industrial infrastructure as machine identities now outnumber humans 80:1.
The investment highlights the urgent need for machine-first identity and access management (IAM) as government agencies and enterprises push toward Zero Trust architectures across increasingly autonomous and interconnected environments. Corsha’s patented mIDP platform ensures that every machine connection is cryptographically verified, dynamically authenticated, and securely managed, whether in cloud, hybrid, or air-gapped environments.
This collaboration builds on Corsha’s earlier $18M Series A-1 round, and positions the company as a foundational provider of identity infrastructure for agentic AI systems, autonomous operations, and modern cyber-physical defense strategies.
