About Egress
We eliminate your most complex security challenge: insider risk
What we do
Our mission is to eliminate the most complex cybersecurity challenge every organisation faces: insider risk. We understand that people get hacked, make mistakes, and break the rules. To prevent these human-activated breaches, we have built the only Human Layer Security platform that defends against inbound and outbound threats. Using patented contextual machine learning we detect and prevent abnormal human behaviour such as targeted phishing attacks, misdirected emails, and data exfiltration.
Used by the world’s biggest brands, Egress is private equity backed and has offices in London, New York, and Boston.

Our key milestones
October 2007
Egress is founded in London, UK, by CEO Tony Pepper, COO Neil Larkins and CSO John Goodyear.
Tony, Neil and John met when working together at Reflex Magnetics, a data security company that was later acquired by Checkpoint Software Technologies. They launched Egress following this success.
March 2010
We launch our first security solution. Now known as Egress Protect, our email encryption software was adopted by a network of local authorities based in London and quickly spread throughout the wider public and corporate sectors.
February 2014
We successfully receive Series A funding of $2.8m from Albion VC, helping to accelerate our rapid growth.
Albion VC partner Ed Lascelles joins the Egress board, where he continues to serve, and uses his expertise to help us transition from start-up to scale-up.
March 2016
We launch the product now known as Egress Prevent, which ensures emails and attachments are sent to the right people, mitigates spear phishing, and applies appropriate protection to sensitive data.
This innovation creates a new category of security technology: human layer security, which uses intelligent machine learning to prevent insider data breaches.
June 2017
We launch Egress Respond, providing CISOs and their security teams with enhanced compliance reporting across their email networks.
This technology will go on to help enterprises around the world comply with new and more stringent data security regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
December 2018
We receive Series C funding totalling $40m from FTV Capital and Albion VC. This investment starts a period of hyper-growth for Egress.
Kyle Griswold, Partner at FTV Capital, joins the Egress board to help steer the direction of this new growth.
