Nudge Security

Nudge Security is an Austin-based cybersecurity company that helps organizations discover and govern the SaaS and AI applications their employees adopt, often without IT's knowledge. Founded in 2021 by Russell Spitler and Jaime Blasco, the platform combines Day One SaaS and AI app discovery, security posture management, identity governance, third-party risk, and spend management, then reaches employees directly with 'security nudges' via browser, Slack, and Teams to guide safer choices without blocking work. It raised a $22.5M Series A in November 2025 and serves nearly 200 customers.
