Identity-based attacks account for about 80% of today’s cyber incidents, leaving big enterprises with billions of potential entry points sprawled across hybrid setups such as Active Directory, Entra ID, AWS, and Okta.
Swiss Saporo steps in with its graph-native Identity Security Posture Management platform, handing security teams the attacker’s own map of their identity maze to spot and shred the deadliest paths first. Customers routinely wipe out up to 80% of those risks in year one.
The company just closed a €7 million Series A, led by TIN Capital and backed by G+D Ventures, CDP Venture Capital, XAnge, Lightbird VC, and Session VC.
The fresh funding will supercharge one-click fixes, expand coverage across more clouds, and drive sales in France, Switzerland, Benelux, Germany, Italy, and the US.
Equipping defenders with clear visibility into hybrid identity systems
Founded in 2021 by brothers Olivier and Guillaume Eyries alongside cybersecurity academic Eric Blavier, Saporo was born out of frustration with fragmented tools that fail to address systemic identity risks such as lateral movement and privilege escalation.
Eyries, co-founder and CPO of Saporo, says, “Attackers don’t break in – they log in. The question isn’t whether a single identity gets compromised, but what it can do next. Saporo gives defenders the attacker’s view of their hybrid identity fabric so they can remove risky paths before an incident.”
Saporo’s technology stands apart through its use of in-memory graph databases and graph theory to comprehensively analyse millions to billions of attack paths across on-premises and cloud identities. It guides security teams to the minimum set of configuration changes that can eliminate the most significant clusters of risk, aligned with security frameworks such as ANSSI and MITRE.
While competitors like AuthMind, Pentera, and Semperis often rely on dashboards that add complexity without addressing root causes, Saporo’s platform continuously monitors identity changes in real time and offers AI-powered assisted remediation workflows.
What’s next?
Looking ahead, Saporo plans to grow its R&D, sales, and marketing teams throughout 2026 while extending hybrid identity coverage beyond Active Directory and AWS to include Google Workspace, GitHub, and other developer-focused platforms.
Roel Reijnen, Lead Investor, TIN Capital, adds, “Saporo is redefining the future of identity security. The team’s talent, ambition, and ability to execute are simply exceptional. Their technology outperforms every competitor we’ve seen, delivering real, hard risk reduction instead of adding dashboards and complexity. This is the strongest European platform in the market, and together with CDP Venture Capital, G+D Ventures and XAnge, we’re backing Saporo to become a clear ISPM category leader.”
