Every modern company has a digital identity problem that grows faster than its ability to manage it. It is not just employee accounts: there are machine identities, cloud service identities, application identities, bots, API connectors. In a multi-cloud and hybrid environment, the number of active identities โ human and non-human โ can vastly exceed the number of employees, and each of these identities is a potential attack surface. Unosecur, a Berlin startup, specializes in identity security for exactly this scenario. The platform offers identity governance and access management with a specific focus on non-human identities, a segment that traditional IAM solutions tend to neglect. Unosecur detects, monitors, and manages all identities across a company's IT ecosystem โ both on-premise and distributed across public and private clouds โ providing centralized visibility and granular control over permissions. The business model is B2B SaaS with per-managed-identity licensing, structured in tiers (Basic, Professional, Enterprise) that vary based on the number of monitored identities and available features โ automated provisioning, multi-factor authentication, compliance reporting, risk analytics. Additional revenue comes from consulting services for complex implementations and custom integrations with existing applications. The relevance of the problem is confirmed by the fact that some of the most significant security breaches in recent years were caused by compromised credentials or identities with excessive permissions that were not being monitored. European cybersecurity regulations โ particularly NIS2 โ are increasing access control requirements for critical infrastructure companies, creating regulatory pressure that favors the adoption of platforms like Unosecur's. The choice of Berlin as headquarters is not accidental: Germany is the largest European market for enterprise cybersecurity and offers direct access to a customer base of large manufacturing and industrial companies with complex security requirements.
The Story
Unosecur was founded in the mid-2020s around Santhosh Jayaprakash, founder and CEO with a background in global cloud security ventures. The triggering event is described by the company in a very straightforward manner: after leading cloud security initiatives in international contexts, Jayaprakash continued to see the same pattern, namely organizations investing millions yet still being compromised through stolen identities. The insight is that identity-first security is not an ancillary feature, but the missing foundation of many enterprise architectures. The aha moment thus arises from a repeated pattern, not from a single incident. Unosecur starts as an identity security startup built around the idea of preventing, validating, and responding to identity abuses before the damage spreads.
