Push Security, a London-based cybersecurity firm, has secured $30 million in Series B funding to enhance its browser-based Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) platform. This investment brings the company’s total funding to $49 million. The round was led by Redpoint Ventures, with participation from Datadog Ventures and existing investors. The company plans to utilize the funds to expand its team, accelerate research and development, and scale its platform to meet growing demand.
Addressing the Shift to Identity-Centric Cyber Threats
Founded in 2022, Push Security focuses on securing the “identity perimeter”—the vast and often overlooked expanse of user identities across cloud applications and SaaS platforms. Traditional security measures often fail to detect attacks that exploit compromised credentials. Push’s platform provides real-time visibility into user identities, applications, accounts, and authentication methods, enabling organizations to detect and respond to identity threats that other tools may overlook.
Innovative Features Enhancing Threat Detection
A notable advancement is Push Security’s verified stolen credentials detection capability. This feature analyzes threat intelligence on stolen credentials and compares them against active credentials in customer environments, eliminating false positives and delivering only actionable alerts. This approach helps organizations protect compromised workforce identities more effectively.
Commitment to Real-Time Protection
Push Security’s platform is designed to detect identity-based threats in real time, including phishing, session hijacking, and credential stuffing. By generating telemetry from browser data, the platform offers deeper insights into user activities and potential vulnerabilities, allowing for proactive threat mitigation.
Industry Recognition and Future Outlook
Push Security’s innovative approach to identity security has garnered recognition in the cybersecurity community. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, the company remains committed to providing organizations with the tools needed to defend against identity-based cyber threats. The recent funding will enable Push Security to further its mission of securing the digital identities that are increasingly targeted by cyber adversaries.
