KEY QUOTES:
“Throughout our involvement in enterprise security, we’ve seen Just-in-time (JIT) privileged access management emerge as an industry need. However, few products are solving the pain points associated with eliminating privilege sprawl in multi-cloud. In search of an innovator in the category, we closely kept track of Britive’s growth and success over time. Britive’s cloud-native platform for automating privileged identity management is the type of industry-changing solution we are excited to back.”
— Chris Cooper, General Partner at Pelion Venture Partners
“We are thrilled about securing a Series B round of funding with our new investors Pelion and Liberty Global as well our insiders. This funding is a testament to our platform’s success in meeting the cloud security needs of Fortune 500 companies and medium to large enterprises alike. With this investment, Britive is well positioned to continuously evolve our technology and expand our go-to-market and customer success capabilities to support our growing portfolio of enterprise clients.”
— Art Poghosyan, CEO of Britive
“Major cloud platform providers will continue to invest in the security of their platforms, but the need for a platform-agnostic privilege management solution like Britive will grow as more enterprises adopt multi-cloud strategies to diversify risk and fuel business growth.”
— Christopher Key, Former Chief Product Officer, Mandiant (acquired by Google Cloud)
