Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Semperis is a privately held B2B cybersecurity vendor focused on identity threat detection and response (ITDR), hybrid identity protection and cyber crisis management. Its Identity Resilience Platform is built around enterprise identity providers—Microsoft Active Directory, Entra ID and Okta—and covers the full attack lifecycle: reducing the identity attack surface before an attack, detecting and containing attacks in progress, and recovering directories to a trusted state afterward. Core products include Directory Services Protector (AD and Entra ID threat prevention, detection and response), Active Directory Forest Recovery (cyber-first AD disaster recovery), Disaster Recovery for Entra Tenant, Recovery for Okta, Delegation Manager for AD, Migrator for Active Directory, Lightning Intelligence (SaaS security posture assessment and attack path management), Identity Runtime Protection, and Ready1, an enterprise cyber crisis response platform.

Alongside licensed software, Semperis offers services including identity forensics and incident response (IFIR), AD and Entra ID security assessments, remediation, disaster recovery planning and exercises, AD architectural review, and AD migration and consolidation. It also distributes free community tools—Purple Knight, an AD/Entra ID/Okta security assessment tool with 150+ security indicators, and Forest Druid, a Tier 0 attack path discovery tool—and runs the Hybrid Identity Protection (HIP) conference and podcast. The company states its AI-powered technology protects over 100 million identities and positions identity as the control plane for agentic AI, publishing research such as "The State of Identity Security in the AI Era" and guidance on securing AI agent identities.

Founding story

Semperis was founded by Mickey Bresman (CEO), Guy Teverovsky (CTO) and Matan Liberman (EVP Business Development), who lead the company from Hoboken, New Jersey and Tel Aviv. The company's own materials cite a 2014 founding date, while press coverage cites 2015; from the outset it argued that identity should be at the center of cyber resilience.

Business model

Enterprise software vendor selling subscription/recurring-revenue identity security and recovery products (reported as surpassing $100M in ARR in January 2025), supplemented by professional and incident response services. Free community tools (Purple Knight, Forest Druid) and the HIP conference and podcast serve as demand-generation and community channels.

Recurring revenue from platform products for AD, Entra ID and Okta protection and recovery, plus fees for services such as identity forensics and incident response, assessments, remediation, DR planning, and AD migration and consolidation.

Traction

More than 1,000 customer organizations, including over 25% of the 100 largest U.S. companies, with customers in more than 40 countries; the platform is described as protecting over 100 million identities. Semperis reported surpassing $100M in ARR in January 2025 and six consecutive years of double-digit growth, and employs roughly 600 people, about 150 of them in Tel Aviv.

Latest developments

In February 2026 Semperis acquired MightyID, an identity resilience specialist for Okta and Ping, extending backup, restore, migration and failover capabilities for cloud identity providers; the deal's terms were undisclosed but estimated at about $20 million. Recent activity also includes the April 2025 launch of Ready1, the January 2025 disclosure of surpassing $100M ARR, a sixth consecutive Deloitte Fast 500 listing in November 2025, the Midnight in the War Room documentary announced in October 2025, and 2026 research and product messaging on securing identity infrastructure for agentic AI, including agent identity attacks and non-human identity protection.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

Positions itself as an early pioneer of ITDR and a specialist in hybrid identity protection and recovery, claiming more than a decade of work with large enterprises and government agencies. It reports more than 1,000 customer organizations, including over 25% of the 100 largest U.S. companies, and cites recognition including Deloitte Technology Fast 500 listings (sixth consecutive year as of November 2025), Inc. 5000 rankings and a No. 7 2024 ranking among cybersecurity companies.

Focus on the identity layer specifically—securing the directory databases and domain services that attackers commonly target—combined with cyber-first recovery that restores directories without reintroducing malware, coverage spanning on-premises and multiple cloud identity providers, a dedicated identity forensics and incident response team, a large concentration of Microsoft MVP experience on staff (150+ combined years), and an enterprise cyber crisis management platform.

Technology

Proprietary AI-powered technology for identity threat detection, response and recovery across Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and (via MightyID) Ping. Capabilities include continuous monitoring with regularly updated indicators of exposure, pattern-based attack detection, detection of attacks that bypass conventional logging, automated undo of malicious or unauthorized directory changes, Tier 0 attack path discovery, non-human and agentic identity discovery and control, and automated malware-free forest recovery. A Canadian innovation center in Kanata, Ontario houses threat intelligence, data science and technology integration teams supporting AI-based detection, while Semperis Labs in Ramat Gan is the R&D engine.

Go-to-market

Direct enterprise sales supported by a partner ecosystem and technology alliances (including Microsoft Enterprise Cloud Alliance and Co-Sell partner status and a Cohesity partnership), regional hubs for North America, EMEA, APJ and LATAM, and inbound demand generation via free tools, original research reports, the HIP conference and podcast, webinars and a documentary project (Midnight in the War Room).

Large global enterprises and government agencies, and specifically cybersecurity leaders and teams, IT operations teams and SOC teams. Sectors served include healthcare and pharmaceuticals, logistics and transportation, food and beverage, energy, industrial and manufacturing, retail and eCommerce, financial services, technology, telecommunications, utilities, real estate, government and public sector, education, and defense and aerospace. Named customers and case studies include Temple Health, ADP, Foulston Siefkin LLP, Prime Healthcare and Altice Portugal.

Geography

Global headquarters in Hoboken, New Jersey, with a Texas hub in Addison (Dallas area), an innovation center in Kanata, Ontario, Semperis Labs R&D in Ramat Gan, Israel, and an APJ hub in Singapore; presence across North America, EMEA, APAC and LATAM and customers in more than 40 countries. The company is expanding its Israeli development center and opening a new branch in northern Israel.

History

Semperis introduced its cyber-first, automated Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR) approach in 2015. In 2020 it raised a $40M Series B led by Insight Partners following six consecutive profitable quarters, bringing total funding at that point to $54M. In 2022 it raised more than $200M in a Series C led by KKR, was cited by the Financial Times as the fastest-growing cybersecurity company in America, and ranked among the top five fastest-growing U.S. cybersecurity companies on the Inc. 5000 list (No. 186 overall, three-year growth above 2,800%). It secured $125M in growth financing in 2024 at a valuation above $1 billion, surpassed $100M in ARR in January 2025, launched the Ready1 crisis response platform in April 2025, and acquired cloud identity resilience specialist MightyID in February 2026.
