Dermot Williams, CEO, Threatscape
Cyber security specialist Threatscape has secured significant investment from Horizon Capital
to accelerate growth through both organic expansion and a targeted buy and build strategy.
Threatscape is a leading pure-play cyber security specialist with an established presence in the UK and Ireland providing services and solutions trusted to protect the business-critical global IT assets of enterprise, public sector and upper mid-market clients.
“Since founding Threatscape, we have built an outstanding company that truly becomes a trusted advisor to clients to address the ever-growing volume and sophistication of cyber security threats,” said Dermot Williams, CEO of Threatscape.
He added: “we believe Threatscape can be further enhanced through a partnership with Horizon who are a natural choice given their substantial experience in technology services and we are extremely excited to embark on this journey together.”
The cyber security market is experiencing significant growth supported by strong structural tailwinds and remains highly fragmented.
Horizon Capital will invest in the business to support CEO Dermot Williams and the team as they execute an ambitious plan that combines continued organic growth and investment in its IP with a number of complementary acquisitions.
“Having closely followed the cyber security sector for several years, we are delighted to be backing Threatscape having identified it as an outstanding business with huge potential for growth,” Luke Kingston, managing partner at Horizon Capital, said.
He added: “we are excited by the prospect of working closely with Dermot and his exceptional team and by the future prospects from this partnership.”
Threatscape has achieved some incredible milestones including winning Microsoft’s global Security Partner of the Year award, successfully launching our Overwatch SaaS platform which provides continual security configuration oversight and governance for Microsoft 365 and Azure, and receiving “exceptionally high” client satisfaction NPS metrics during due diligence.
