Conceal marks a major milestone in cybersecurity innovation, announcing a $26 million Series B funding round led by Two Bear Capital, with participation from strategic partners committed to advancing secure access for the modern workforce. The investment underscores Conceal’s mission to simplify enterprise security through a browser-native SSE (Security Service Edge) platform that delivers zero-trust protection without friction.
The new capital will fuel product innovation, go-to-market expansion, and team growth, accelerating Conceal’s vision to create secure, seamless access for employees and third-party users, wherever they work.
In today’s hybrid and remote-first environment, organizations are juggling a growing stack of VPNs, proxies, and security gateways. While these tools were built to protect, they often introduce complexity, latency, and blind spots that increase operational risk.
Conceal takes a smarter approach. Instead of forcing companies to rebuild or replace their browsers, the company’s browser-native SSE platform provides direct, secure access through a lightweight extension. This architecture simplifies connectivity while embedding zero-trust principles at the point where work actually happens, the browser.
“Traditional enterprise security has become too complex to manage effectively,” said Eric Cornelius, CEO of Conceal. He also added: “Our goal is to deliver true zero trust, without the friction. This funding validates our belief that the browser is the new security perimeter.”
Conceal’s solution seamlessly integrates with existing IT ecosystems, providing real-time protection against web-based threats, including phishing, credential theft, and malicious scripts.
Key benefits of the Conceal platform include:
This model allows enterprises to consolidate fragmented security tools, cut overhead, and improve operational agility, an especially critical advantage in today’s evolving cyber threat landscape.
The rapid shift toward distributed work has exposed the limitations of legacy perimeter defenses. According to recent cybersecurity reports, over 80% of data breaches now involve compromised credentials or web-based attacks. As organizations expand their digital footprints, a browser-centric approach like Conceal’s offers a more efficient and scalable defense strategy.
By focusing on in-browser protection and secure access, Conceal enables teams to stay productive without sacrificing security or privacy. It’s a model designed for agility, helping companies stay ahead of threats while keeping costs under control.
This latest funding round positions Conceal to expand its global footprint, strengthen its engineering team, and advance partnerships with major enterprise customers and security vendors. With the backing of Two Bear Capital, Conceal continues to challenge the industry’s reliance on bloated, multi-layered architectures and demonstrate that simplicity and security can coexist.
As Craig Whetstone and Jason Green from the Conceal leadership team noted, this milestone reflects both the market’s growing demand for more efficient security and the team’s dedication to building technology that genuinely reduces risk for modern enterprises.
Execweb congratulates Eric Cornelius and the entire Conceal team on this milestone and looks forward to seeing how their technology continues to empower organizations with secure, frictionless connectivity
