Why This Growth Round Matters for Identity Security Leaders
Identity security has become one of the most critical—and complex—challenges in cybersecurity. Security teams are managing more cloud systems, more automation, more machine identities, and stricter regulatory requirements than ever before.
At the same time, many organizations are still working with legacy PAM tools that weren't designed for today's hybrid environments. The result: overlapping solutions, fragmented visibility, and privileged access programs that struggle to keep pace with business growth.
Security leaders need platforms that can handle this complexity without adding more of it. They're under pressure to make vendor decisions that will stand up to:
- Long-term business growth and cloud transformation
- Board scrutiny and audit requirements
- Vendor consolidation and rationalization strategies
- Rapid changes in infrastructure and attack surfaces
Choosing a PAM platform means choosing a long-term partner. Riverwood Capital's investment decisions validate that Segura® has the financial stability, proven technology, and market traction to support enterprise-scale privileged access programs. Not just today, but as environments evolve.
Over 1,000 organizations across 70 countries, including highly regulated enterprises in financial services, government, and critical infrastructure, have already made that choice. This growth funding round strengthens the foundation they rely on.
