Anjuna Security, whose Confidential Cloud isolates and encrypts workloads and data to protect against bad actors, raises $30M Series B led by Insight Partners

Context & Ripple Effects
Anjuna Security's $30M Series B extends a run of Insight Partners–led bets on Israeli cloud security: the firm previously led SentinelOne's $120M Series D in autonomous endpoint protection, and weeks after this round it would lead Adaptive Shield's $30M SaaS-security Series A.
The round also slots into a steady stream of venture money for startups securing cloud workloads from new angles — Stream.Security's $30M Series B for real-time cloud threat management and Banyan Security's zero-trust access client among them — with Anjuna attacking the problem one layer down, inside the compute itself.
First-order effects
- Anjuna gains capital to scale Confidential Cloud, which isolates and encrypts customer workloads against bad actors, while Insight Partners adds another infrastructure-level security position alongside SentinelOne in its portfolio.
Second-order effects
- Workload-protection vendors now compete against a category selling isolation and encryption at the silicon/hypervisor boundary rather than agent-based monitoring — pushing rivals like SentinelOne to defend their endpoint-centric approach or extend toward embedded controls.
Third-order effects
- If buyers keep funding workload-isolation plays at Series B scale, enterprise security spending continues shifting from perimeter and endpoint tools toward protections built into the cloud infrastructure layer, with Insight Partners and Tel Aviv's security startup cluster acting as the recurring financing-and-supply engine.
The trend: Enterprise cloud security is moving inward — from agents on endpoints toward encryption and isolation embedded in the compute layer itself — funded largely through repeat investor franchises like Insight Partners.
