MokN raises $15M Series A to grow identity theft protection platform

MokN, a French cybersecurity company focused on protecting
organisations from credential theft and identity-based attacks, has raised $15
million in Series A funding. The round was led by GV, marking Google Ventures’
first investment in a French startup, and included participation from Datadog,
existing investors Moonfire and OVNI Capital, as well as angel investors.

The funding follows MokN’s €2.6 million seed round
announced in October 2025 and will support the company’s next phase of growth.
The startup plans to expand its product portfolio, strengthen its presence in
France and the United States, and launch operations in the United Kingdom
through the opening of new offices.

Founded to address the growing threat of credential theft,
MokN has developed technology designed to proactively recover compromised
identities before they can be exploited by attackers. The company currently
protects more than one million users across large enterprises and mid-sized
organisations.

Its first product, Baits, is designed to combat phishing
attacks by deploying highly realistic decoy access points that mimic corporate
environments, such as VPN and webmail portals. When attackers attempt to use
stolen credentials, they reveal those credentials to security teams, allowing
organisations to identify and neutralise threats before the information is
misused or traded on the dark web.

The rapid adoption by major companies and the results
achieved with our first solution have confirmed one thing: this approach must
go further. Today, we are laying the groundwork for Active Identity Recovery by
extending proactive recovery to all forms of identity, with the ambition of
making it a new global standard for identity protection,

said Gautier Bugeon, CEO and co-founder of MokN.

MokN is positioning itself around the emerging category of
Active Identity Recovery, which focuses on helping organisations regain control
of compromised identities rather than relying solely on passive monitoring
approaches such as dark web surveillance.

The new funding will support increased investment in
research and development as the company builds what it describes as the first
multi-product platform dedicated to active identity theft protection.

Upcoming products will focus on securing customer accounts,
stolen browser cookies and compromised sessions – attack vectors that are
becoming increasingly common but remain inadequately addressed by existing
security solutions.
