Inforcer Raises $50 Million in Series C Funding
Inforcer, a London-based company specializing in security solutions for managed service providers (MSPs), has announced the successful closing of a $50 million Series C funding round. The round was led by Insight Partners, with additional participation from Dawn Capital and Meritech Capital. This funding aims to bolster Inforcer's efforts in improving security infrastructure for MSPs managing Microsoft 365 accounts.
Company Overview
Founded by Jamie Daum, Richard Thompson, Rory McInerney, and William Connor, Inforcer provides a platform that helps MSPs standardize security measures across client Microsoft 365 accounts. The company's tools facilitate tasks ranging from policy deployment to compliance monitoring, addressing the pressing need for robust cybersecurity measures in the face of evolving AI and security threats.
Addressing the Growing Need for MSP Security
As small and medium-sized businesses increasingly rely on MSPs for IT management, there is a growing demand for comprehensive security solutions. "Business has been growing 300% year-over-year," noted Jamie Daum, Co-Founder and CEO of Inforcer. The company has seen rapid growth due to the increasing complexity of IT environments and the rising threat of cybersecurity attacks, which now occur at an accelerated pace.
Strategic Use of Funds
The newly secured $50 million will be used to enhance Inforcer's product offerings, particularly in areas such as AI detection and threat response tools. The company has already developed features like Shadow AI detection to identify unauthorized AI tool usage and a threat detection and response system to address cybersecurity risks in real-time. "Cybersecurity, in particular, has become a growing area of concern," added William Connor, Co-Founder and Chief Community Officer.
