In the last 12 months, Britive increased ARR by 3x year-over-year. This growth was driven by 100 percent expansion in its customer base and addition of new customers including an industry-leading insurance group, a Fortune 500 international retail organization, and a Fortune 500 data management company.
“Britive’s cloud-native privileged access solution has enabled us to provide just-in-time temporary console and programmatic access,” said Dustin Goodwin, Head of Cybersecurity at Nayya. “Which lets Nayya app development achieve velocity and protect elevated privileges, while maintaining the principle of zero trust security across all of our cloud environments.”
The company also raised $10 million in Series A funding, led by Crosslink Capital, to accelerate expansion and to build the foundation for the company’s next growth stage.
“We’re seeing a profound shift in the way companies think about balancing business priorities and cybersecurity risks in the cloud,” said Art Poghosyan, CEO & Co-Founder of Britive. “Organizations can’t afford to be slowed down by security, but still need to protect the business-critical applications and infrastructure that traditional methods of securing identity and access miss. Britive gives cloud-forward companies the confidence to achieve business goals and operate in the cloud with a strong security posture.”
