Worthington, OH - InnerActiv, the risk intelligence cybersecurity company focused on Insider Threat Prevention, Fraud Detection, and Next-Generation Data Loss Prevention (DLP), announced today the close of its latest funding round. The funding was co-led by Blu Ventures and North Coast Ventures (NCV), with participation from strategic angels in the cybersecurity sector.

‍

InnerActiv’s micro endpoint agents capture extensive endpoint activity data without degrading system performance. These rich, granular signals are processed by embedded AI risk sensors, enabling the platform to detect early-stage risks with precision. By dramatically reducing false positives and surfacing real threats in real time, InnerActiv greatly accelerates and improves efficiency for threat hunters, stopping threats before they become events.

‍

“Insider threats, fraud, and data loss remain some of the most difficult challenges for modern security teams,” said Steven Chen, Partner at Blu Ventures. “We invested in InnerActiv because their risk intelligence approach is uniquely designed to detect these risks at the source, across applications, workflows, and devices, without slowing performance or relying on platform-specific integrations.”

‍

Deployed in leading enterprises across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure, InnerActiv closes the visibility gaps left by perimeter-based security tools. Its platform detects and blocks high-risk activity such as data grazing, shadow IT usage, policy testing, and low-and-slow reconnaissance, empowering security teams to act proactively rather than reactively. A portion of the new funding will also be used to expand ActivPrint, InnerActiv’s advanced print security and audit solution, by increasing OEM printer coverage and enhancing device-level visibility across enterprise print environments.

‍

Additional investment will accelerate ActivDesktop, InnerActiv’s comprehensive endpoint monitoring and risk intelligence platform for Windows and macOS, expand integrations with EDR/MDR platforms and SIEMs, and grow the company’s direct and channel sales presence.

‍

Todd Federman, Managing Director at North Coast Ventures, added: “What’s exciting about InnerActiv is how they’ve brought together insider threat prevention, fraud detection, and next-gen data loss protection into one simple, powerful platform. Their lightweight software and smart AI tools give security teams clear, accurate insights so they can cut through the noise and act quickly when something’s wrong.”

‍

“We’re committed to giving organizations the visibility, context, and control they need to neutralize insider and fraud risks at the point of action, before damage is done,” said Ray Shealy, CEO of InnerActiv. “This investment positions us to scale faster, broaden our integrations, and continue helping our customers secure what matters most.”
