GitGuardian secured $50 million in Series C funding on February 11, 2026, targeting the security gap created by autonomous AI agents and non-human identities. The round was led by global software investor Insight Partners alongside Quadrille Capital, with participation from existing investors Balderton, BPI, Eurazeo, Fly Ventures, and Sapphire Ventures.
The funding addresses what CEO Eric Fourrier calls "a critical inflection point" for enterprise security. Organizations that previously managed hundreds of service accounts now face thousands of AI agents, each requiring credentials and permissions. While identity solutions matured for human users, non-human identities remain largely unmanaged according to company statements.
Insight Partners brings $90 billion in regulatory assets under management and cybersecurity investments including Wiz, SentinelOne, and Darktrace. Quadrille Capital provides European enterprise network access, positioning GitGuardian across EMEA markets where compliance requirements increasingly mandate secrets management.
The capital will fuel three strategic initiatives. First, GitGuardian will expand its platform to detect, monitor, and govern credentials used by AI systems, from coding assistants to customer service bots.
Second, the company will deliver NHI lifecycle management capabilities for enterprises managing tens of thousands of non-human identities. Third, geographic expansion will accelerate US growth while opening APAC, South America, and Middle East regions.
European regulatory frameworks including GDPR, NIS2, and DORA create substantial demand for GitGuardian's solutions. The company serves Fortune 500 clients across technology, financial services, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing sectors. Notable customers include Deutsche Telekom, ING, BASF, and Snowflake.
GitGuardian's platform supports over 550 types of secrets and offers public monitoring for leaked data. The company claims 91% true positive detection rates and is trusted by over 600,000 developers and ranks as the most installed security tool on GitHub Marketplace.
The funding follows GitGuardian's December 2021 $44 million Series B round, bringing total capital raised to approximately $106 million. The company plans to expand hiring across engineering, sales, and customer success teams in both US and European markets.
