Organizations are facing more cyberattacks, stricter regulations, and a growing dependence on digital systems. More and more European companies are looking for an alternative to the large, mostly American vendors, without compromising on quality.

Eye Security responds exactly to that demand. The company was founded in 2020 in The Hague by former experts from the Dutch intelligence and security services. Their premise: mid-sized organizations deserve the same level of cyber expertise as governments and multinationals. Today, Eye Security protects more than a thousand customers in the Benelux and the DACH region, with offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

With the new funding, Eye Security is accelerating its growth into other European countries and further developing its platform. Its engineering and threat analysis teams are growing too, along with its customer contact department. Existing investors TIN Capital, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, and Bessemer Venture Partners remain on board.

“Cyberattacks are getting smarter and faster. Organizations need an answer to that every day,” says Job Kuijpers, founder and CEO of Eye Security. “Europe needs its own cybersecurity solutions, built on European values and independence.”

As a partner, Xylos continues to build on Eye Security's platform. That gives our customers access to security on the level of large multinationals, even without a large in-house security team.

The platform combines automated detection with a 24/7 human Security Operations Center. Continuous monitoring and fast incident response provide a single point of contact, before and after an incident. Eye Security's own cyber insurance complements that approach — a valuable combination now that traditional insurers are pulling back.

For organizations that need to comply with GDPR and NIS2, the European foundation offers extra clarity. Eye Security operates entirely within Europe and keeps customer data within the EU.
