Company mission
To build a future without cumbersome legacy hardware, a future where dozens of fragmented security tools are effectively merged into one.
-5% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Businesses are increasingly moving to the cloud to support modern hybrid and remote working arrangements, but with this comes new vulnerabilities. The vasts amount of data stored in cloud servers are a tempting target for cybercriminals who can outmaneuver on-premises security teams who are not always well equipped for cloud security operations. Perimiter 81 exists to replace unsecure legacy security systems with a secure cloud-delivered corporate security network.
Perimeter 81's key feauture in the crowded cybersecurity sector lies in its ease of use. By providing simple, easily implemented and scalable solutions to every aspect of a company's network security operations, it has gained a huge client base of over 2,400 enterprises, among them companies like Ernst & Young, TrustPilot, and 23andMe.
Bucking the downturn in cybersecurity sector funding during 2022, the company closed a huge Series C funding round in June of that year that earned it Unicorn status - with funds being used to support rapid growth and strengthening marketing efforts. Unfortunately, a matter of months later it found itself laying off 8% of its team due to the economic downturn, though it remains positive it can sustain its growth plans despite this bump in the road.
