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 consultancy 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. The business was founded in 2010 by Dermot Williams, Alan Roche, Colin Reid, Eddie Lyons, and Wendy Williams who collectively bring over 100 years of cyber security expertise and are continuing with the business during the next phase of growth.
Threatscape has deeply embedded CISO-level relationships with clients and acts as an extension of their security team supported by accredited partnerships with leading cyber security vendors including Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Symantec and Abnormal Security, and global MSSP SecurityHQ.
Threatscape delivers compelling security outcomes and ROI for clients via its highly skilled and experienced team including a dedicated Microsoft Security Practice which includes a market leading number of senior consultants holding the coveted Security MVP status by Microsoft.
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.
This transaction marks the fourth investment from Horizon Fund III complementing our portfolio of 13 high-growth technology services, business services, software and data businesses.
”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. 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.

”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. We are excited by the prospect of working closely with Dermot and his exceptional team and by the future prospects from this partnership.
