Keeper Security announced that global growth equity firm Summit
Partners has completed a significant
minority investment in the Company. With this investment, Len Ferrington,
Managing Director at Summit Partners, will join the Keeper Security Board of
Directors. The synergy between Keeper, Summit and existing investor Insight
Partners will further accelerate product
innovation and catalyze strategic expansion of the Company's prominence as a
cybersecurity leader in the public and private sectors.
Keeper has seen strong growth in its global operations
since raising its last round of funding in August 2020. The Company has added
several hundred new employees, acquired remote network access provider
Glyptodon, expanded its industry certifications to include earning FedRAMP and
StateRAMP Authorization, opened new data centers in Australia, Canada and
Japan, and expanded its partner ecosystem across the NorAm, EMEA and APAC
regions. Keeper doubled its revenue while maintaining strong gross margins and
continued its trajectory with Q1 2023 marking the Company's strongest quarter
on record. This latest investment will accelerate Keeper's growth and solidify
the Company's position as an innovator in enterprise password management,
secrets management, privileged connection management and privileged access
management.
"Insight Partners is and has been a fantastic partner that
has helped us with go-to-market strategies and best practices. I've known Len
Ferrington and the Summit team for many years. They have deep experience
investing in cybersecurity and a shared passion for the Keeper vision," said
Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-Founder of Keeper Security. "I'm excited about the
expanded perspective that both Insight and Summit will bring to Keeper,
supporting our exceptional team as we continue to create and deliver
industry-leading technology and innovation."
"While the current economic environment has led to a
contraction in many areas of technology investment, the demand for secure and
accessible cybersecurity solutions continues to accelerate," said Len
Ferrington, Managing Director at Summit Partners. "Summit has invested in
security software for more than thirty years. We are impressed with the breadth
of the Keeper product portfolio as well as the Company's growth, and we are
excited to see Keeper work to further disrupt the cybersecurity industry."
"We saw great potential in Keeper and they've surpassed our
expectations as a consistently high-performing company in the industry," said
Thomas Krane, Managing Director at Insight Partners. "This strategic investment
will elevate Keeper even further, expanding its ability to provide
best-in-class cybersecurity solutions to organizations around the world."
