If you’re still treating machines like background actors in your security stack, Corsha just made your old script obsolete.
Founded by Anusha Iyer, a mind forged at Galois and sharpened by the Naval Research Lab, Corsha isn’t just riding the machine-to-machine (M2M) wave; it built the surfboard. And with a fresh strategic investment from Booz Allen Ventures, plus returning heat from SineWave Ventures, Razor’s Edge Ventures, and Ten Eleven Ventures, they’re doubling down on what the rest of the cybersecurity world is still trying to spell: non-human identity.
This isn’t identity access management repackaged for bots. This is a patented Machine Identity Provider (mIDP) that generates cryptographic credentials for every machine, rotates them automatically, and injects dynamic, per-request multifactor authentication like it’s flipping API keys into zero-trust gold. You don’t patchwork your way into federal systems. Corsha secured deployments with the U.S. Air Force and locked arms with Booz Allen to protect defense manufacturing baselines. That’s not hype, that’s credentials.
Corsha’s not out here handing badges to bots. It’s building a behavioral identity layer, fed by AI and ML, integrated into your favorite cloud, and smart enough to know when a machine’s acting sideways. The Corsha Console, Gatekeeper, and Authenticator form a system that doesn’t just watch traffic, it validates trust, issues one-time credentials, and revokes them in real time if something stinks.
They’re not just protecting what’s now, they’re engineering what’s next. Corsha Labs is scaling up, growing the AI stack, and recruiting engineers fluent in the language of operational tech, advanced manufacturing, and cyber-physical systems. That’s how you go from $1.0M in revenue in 2021 to $5.4M in 2024, a compound growth curve most startups would kill for.
The numbers matter, but the narrative matters more. This is a founder who flipped CTO for CEO when it was time to lead the charge. A team that’s not selling fear, they’re selling architecture for a future where machines have identities, not assumptions. And a market where Zero Trust isn’t a bumper sticker, it’s a battlefield.
So while others are still fumbling with static tokens and air quotes around “security,” Corsha is laying the rails for identity-first, machine-native infrastructure that sees every request, knows every machine, and doesn’t blink. Because in the world they’re building, you don’t trust the network. You trust the math.
Congrats to Anusha Iyer, Scott Hopkins, and the entire Corsha crew. And respect to the investor syndicate backing a bet this big. The next evolution of IAM isn’t human. It’s Corsha.
