Context
Founded in 2014, EclecticIQ is a global threat intelligence, hunting and response technology provider.
The company’s strategic positioning as a sole European player in the cyber threat intelligence (CTI) software space has enabled it to build a tier-1 customer base composed of central governments, large financial organizations, telecoms and big tech companies. Leveraging its acquisition of PolyLogyx and experience with its most demanding customers, the company is well positioned to develop new solutions to re-imagine how organizations detect, hunt and respond to sophisticated threats. It recently reached an important milestone in the development of its platform with the launch of a new Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solution.
This additional funding will enable EclecticIQ to further accelerate the development of its Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution, enhance its existing Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) and further expand geographically. This financing from the European Investment Bank, the lending arm of the European Union investing in the development of technology companies in critical sectors, further reinforces the unique positioning of EclecticIQ as a Europe-based cybersecurity leader across the globe.
