Semperis, a specialist in Active Directory security now worth more than $1B, raises $125M

Semperis, a cybersecurity firm specializing in Active Directory and identity system defense (including Entra ID and Okta), raised $125M in a mix of equity and debt from J.P. Morgan and Hercules Capital at a valuation above $1B, aiming to accelerate R&D and global expansion while adding a new CFO, CRO, and CLO as it eyes an IPO. The company, serving major enterprises and claiming significant reductions in AD recovery time, positions itself amid ongoing identity-centric attacks and growing demand for hybrid AD/Entra ID protection.
