MokN, a French cybersecurity startup focused on protection against credential theft, has raised €12.9 million in Series A funding in a round led by GV, with participation from Datadog, Moonfire, OVNI Capital and angel investors.
The company is developing what it describes as an Active Identity Recovery Platform, designed to recover compromised credentials before they can be used by attackers. Its approach includes deceptive entry points such as fake SSL VPNs to identify and intercept stolen credentials.
MokN said the new funding will be used to further build its platform, expand in France and the United States, and begin its push into the United Kingdom. The company also plans to accelerate broader international growth while continuing to invest in Europe and advance its longer-term product roadmap around identity recovery.
The raise comes as demand for tools addressing identity-based attacks continues to grow, with credential theft remaining a persistent challenge for security teams.
