DC Advisory advises H.I.G. Growth on its strategic growth investment in AgileBlue

Background

  • AgileBlue based in Ohio, US, is a leading AI-powered Security Operations (SecOps) platform that detects, investigates, and auto-responds to cyber threats across cloud, network and endpoint environments
  • AgileBlue is experiencing strong momentum, driven by a rising demand for cybersecurity solutions
  • As organizations across North America and Europe face heightened regulatory pressures and more sophisticated cyberattacks, AgileBlue’s AI-powered platform helps safeguard critical assets
  • H.I.G. Growth Partners (H.I.G. Growth) is the dedicated growth capital investment affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, a leading global alternative investment firm with $69 billion of capital under management

Process

  • DC Advisory was engaged by H.I.G. Growth as financial advisor to provide buy-side advice on its strategic growth investment in AgileBlue
  • DC Advisory leveraged its extensive experience in cybersecurity, specifically AI-powered Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and SecOps, to assist H.I.G. Growth through their investment process

Outcome

  • H.I.G. Growth announced its investment in AgileBlue in May 2025
  • This partnership builds on H.I.G. Growth’s established record of supporting and advising cybersecurity and enterprise software investments as evidenced by its targeted investments in cybersecurity companies, such as Corelight, JumpCloud, Trace3, HelpSystems, ECI, and Lancope
  • This is DC Advisory’s 12th MDR / SecOps deal and further demonstrates the team’s strong track record of providing strategic advice in cybersecurity

“AgileBlue’s security operations platform is built from the ground up around AI and automation and is making advanced, enterprise-grade cybersecurity capabilities available to organizations that face challenges in addressing their complex cyber requirements. AgileBlue uniquely provides autonomous investigation, decisioning, and response which has resulted in rapid customer adoption since their founding in 2019. We are excited to partner with Tony and the entire AgileBlue team to support their continued growth and expansion.”
