Trusted by 1,000+ Enterprises Across 70 Countries, Segura Delivers a Single, Unified, Enterprise-Grade Privileged Access Management Platform that Deploys in Minutes
Segura®, a global identity security company specializing in end-to-end Privileged Access Management (PAM), today announced it has secured a US$25 million growth funding round led by Riverwood Capital, one of the leading global investment firms solely dedicated to technology growth and scalability. The investment will accelerate the company’s global expansion and the evolution of its AI-powered identity security platform.
Segura® has earned the trust of over 1,000 corporate customers across financial services, manufacturing, government, retail, transportation, telecom, and technology in over 70 countries by solving one of cybersecurity’s most complex challenges: managing and securing privileged access.
Designed as a modern, AI-ready platform, Segura® is built on a unified architecture that integrates identity governance, session control, and behavioral context. By normalizing and correlating privileged access activity across the full access lifecycle and applying behavioral modeling to establish risk baselines, this analytics-driven foundation uniquely enables intelligent insights and automated policy controls, supporting a more proactive and adaptive approach to managing privileged risk. The platform eliminates friction by managing governance before, during, and after every privileged session through a single, unified interface.
Guided by agility and simplicity, Segura® cuts through the complexity that often plagues cybersecurity projects. Unlike legacy solutions that can take months to implement, Segura®’s platform can be deployed in 7 minutes, delivering rapid time-to-value and making robust security practical and accessible. Reinforcing its market leadership, Segura® has +98% customer recommendation according to Gartner Peer Insights and has received international recognition, including:
● Participation in Locked Shields—the world’s most advanced cyber defense exercise, organized by NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence—placing it among an elite group of global security experts
● In Brazil, Segura®’s original large market, the company holds the prestigious Strategic Defense Company certification from the Brazilian Ministry of Defense, reflecting its role in protecting critical national infrastructure
● Recognized in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management and in Gartner’s most recent Voice of the Customer as one of the highest-rated PAM vendors.
“This investment is more than capital; it’s a validation of our vision to build a world-class company that protects humanity’s most vital information,” said Marcus Scharra, CEO and Co-Founder of Segura®. “We started by solving an immense challenge for some of the most complex global enterprises, including banks and retailers, and now we’re ready to bring that same level of powerful, simple security to organizations everywhere. This partnership with Riverwood allows us to raise the bar for the entire industry.”
Segura®’s platform originated from a direct request by one of the world’s largest banks, which was struggling with the overwhelming complexity of traditional Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions. From that challenge, Segura® engineered a full-lifecycle PAM platform designed for real-world environments.
“At Riverwood, we partner with technology leaders that emerge from real-world challenges and scale globally because their products work,” said Francisco Alvarez-Demalde, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Riverwood Capital. “Segura is a great example of that journey. The platform has grown into one of the most comprehensive PAM solutions in the global market. With deep credibility in highly regulated environments, Segura is already an international leader in identity security.”
Riverwood Capital’s Gustavo Pinheiro will join Segura®’s Board of Directors and added: “Identity security has become a critical requirement for enterprises, driven by increasing regulation and cybersecurity threats. We are excited to partner with Marcus and the team in their mission to deliver modern, easy-to-use Privileged Access Management to organizations worldwide.”
