Our take
Identity systems such as Microsoft Active Directory and Azure AD, used in over 90% of enterprises, are coming under sustained attack. With its multi-layered defense approach before, during, and after an attack, Semperis offers the industry’s most comprehensive security technology for hybrid AD and other identity systems, combined with incident response expertise.
The security-focused firm has grown rapidly in recent years, meaning that it was able to launch its own partner program, known as Vigilance. This enables other companies to benefit from the market position of Semperis by offering its solutions as part of an overall business model.
Semperis’ patented technology protects over 50 million identities from cyberattacks, data breaches, and operational errors. As Semperis has become increasingly well-known, its qualities have been widely acknowledged. It is trusted to fend off cyber attacks by enterprises such as Hertz, Starbucks, and Independence Blue Cross.
Recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in North America, Semperis has clearly found its position in a competitive market that features the likes of Sumo Logic, IBM Security QRadar, Amazon GuardDuty and Threat Stack. Lately, it has focussed on hiring across all functions globally to better support its expanding customer base, as well as build out its senior team.
