Alantra has acted as exclusive sell-side M&A advisor to Threatscape (“The Company”), a leading pure-play cyber security consultancy, on securing a significant investment from Horizon Capital.
Threatscape has an established presence in the UK and Ireland providing services and solutions trusted to protect the business-critical global IT assets of enterprise, public sector and upper mid-market clients. The business was founded in 2010 by Dermot Williams, Alan Roche, Colin Reid, Eddie Lyons, and Wendy Williams who collectively bring over 100 years of cyber security expertise and are continuing with the business during the next phase of growth.
Threatscape has deeply embedded CISO-level relationships with clients and acts as an extension of their security teams, supported by accredited partnerships with leading cyber security vendors including Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Symantec and Abnormal Security, as well as global MSSP SecurityHQ. This is underpinned by a highly skilled and experienced team, including a dedicated Microsoft Security Practice.
Horizon Capital’s investment will provide significant support to accelerate growth of Threatscape’s operations through both organic expansion and a targeted buy-and-build strategy.
Oliver Norman, Director at Alantra, commented: “Threatscape is a highly differentiated pure-play cyber security specialist with deep technical credentials, strong recurring revenues and trusted CISO-level client relationships. We were pleased to advise the shareholders on this transaction and believe Horizon Capital is an excellent partner to support the business’s next phase of organic growth and strategic acquisitions.”
Dermot Williams, CEO of Threatscape, commented: “I’d like to sincerely thank the team at Alantra for their support throughout our investment process. Their cyber security experience was a real benefit, helping us shape and communicate a compelling story to the right investors, while bringing a collaborative, pragmatic approach and clear guidance at every stage of a carefully executed competitive process. We greatly valued their strategic insight, constructive input, and the trust they built with our team and investors. Thanks to their support, we achieved a strong outcome and secured the right partner to take our company into the next stage of its growth journey.”
