PARIS — MokN has raised $15 million in a Series A funding round led by Google Ventures to expand its phish-back cybersecurity platform into the United States and the United Kingdom. The company also plans to open new offices in both countries and grow its workforce across engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success teams.
The Tel Aviv-based company, founded in 2023, develops a platform designed to detect and neutralize stolen credentials before they are exploited in attacks. MokN plants honeypots within enterprise environments and deploys ultra-realistic decoy access points as part of its “phish-back” solution. These decoys lure threat actors into revealing use of compromised credentials, enabling organizations to revoke or reset them proactively.
MokN’s latest funding round brings its total investment to $18 million. In addition to Google Ventures, the Series A included participation from DataDog, previous investors Moonfire and OVNI Capital, and several angel investors. The company intends to increase its research and development efforts to enhance the capabilities of its platform.
Credential abuse accounted for approximately 13% of confirmed data breaches in 2025, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). MokN’s approach aims to address what it describes as a persistent vulnerability in enterprise defenses by shifting from reactive monitoring to what it calls “Active Identity Recovery.”
“As a former SOC Manager, I experienced firsthand how compromised identities remained a critical blind spot. MokN was built to change that. Today, we work with major enterprises to define a new category—Active Identity Recovery—giving them a proactive edge against identity-based attacks,” said Gautier Bugeon, co-founder and CEO of MokN, in a podcast interview.
