eSentire Raises New Equity Financing

Security startup eSentire announced that Warburg Pincus, a global private equity firm focused on growth investing, made a significant equity investment in the company.

eSentire is the largest pure-play managed detection and response (MDR) service provider, aiming to keep organizations safe from constantly evolving cyber-attacks. Its 24×7 security operations center (SOC), staffed by elite security analysts, hunts, investigates, and responds in real-time to known and unknown threats before they become business disrupting events. Protecting more than $5.7 trillion in corporate assets, eSentire absorbs the complexity of cybersecurity, delivering enterprise-grade protection and the ability to comply with growing regulatory requirements. In 2016, eSentire was named Best SME Cybersecurity Solution by SC Magazine, and it was included on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500TM list.

In its announcement, the company said the investment will be used to accelerate eSentire’s growth by expanding its technology services to existing clients and its outreach to more clients in new markets, as well as to provide liquidity to existing shareholders.
