Push Security raises £3.3m in seed funding led by Decibel to develop SaaS security tools.
The seed round was led by Decibel with participation from industry angels to advance user-centric security technology.
Push Security simplifies SaaS security for modern IT and cybersecurity teams by monitoring employee activity and guiding users to resolve risks. The company helps businesses uncover employee-owned software and remediate vulnerabilities.
Push Security has secured £3.3m in a seed funding round led by Decibel. The capital will support the ongoing development of software designed to help employees use SaaS platforms securely and responsibly.
The financing follows widespread adoption of employee-led cloud applications across businesses, creating new operational risks that traditional restrictive controls fail to address. Decibel backed the round alongside prominent industry figures including Jon Oberheide and Haroon Meer.
From the founder
"Employees want flexibility and they need the right tools to be productive, but those tools aren't always company-approved. So, they're signing up for those tools on their own. Security teams want to assert some control over this because SaaS apps introduce risk to their company, so they often try to simply lock down SaaS. However, in the long run this just encourages employees to work around the security team. You can't secure SaaS that's owned by employees without working with employees. We've built a lightweight, scalable way to let employees use SaaS responsibly, guiding them to actually fix security issues, while offloading work from security teams. We'll prove along the way that employees don't need to just be seen as part of the problem, but can actually become part of the solution."

Investor perspective
"The co-founders have deep security experience as researchers and red teamers, and they're applying that knowledge to an exponentially growing problem that no one else has been able to solve. I can't wait to see what the Push team will do to apply user-centric security to finally help organizations progress beyond traditional security solutions that have not been able to keep up with the pace of modern IT."
