Our take
With cybercrime expected to cost the world economy over $9T in 2024, cybersecurity has never been more important. Outpost24 was founded in 2001 to help companies manage the growing threat of cyber criminals by assessing and testing an organisation's IT vulnerabilities and providing visibility of the assets at risk so that security holes can be closed before they are exploited by bad actors.
The cybersecurity sector is crowded, and Outpost24 faces intense competition from the likes of IBM and Cisco, not to mention a host of startups focusing on issues in the space. However, Outpost24 has managed to carve out a place for itself with a focus on security testing rather than becoming distracted by diversifying into other solutions. It is also the only company to offer full coverage across network, device, web, cloud data and user security in a single package. This approach has stood it in good stead for over 20 years and garnered it a client base of over 2,500 customers including HMV, BBC Worldwide and The Belgian National Lottery.
Outpost24 was acquired by Vitruvian Partners in 2022. With the injection of funding provided by its new parent company, Outpost24 is accelerating its product development and increasing its marketing efforts. While it is a significant business in the European and US markets, it is aiming to grow its market share and expand internationally in the near future.
