Stormshield

Stormshield is a French cybersecurity company that designs and sells network security solutions, including firewalls, virtual private networks, and intrusion prevention systems. It also offers endpoint protection, data encryption, and secure communication tools for mobile and remote work. Its products are aimed at protecting information systems of enterprises, public administrations, and critical infrastructure operators. The company serves markets in Europe and internationally, focusing on sectors that require high assurance levels such as defence, energy, transport, and finance.

Stormshield’s products are distinguished by their certification from national cybersecurity authorities; its firewall line holds qualifications from the French ANSSI and is authorized for use in sensitive national infrastructure networks. The company’s focus on high‑assurance solutions positions it as a trusted supplier for governmental administrations, defence organisations, and operators of critical infrastructure. The 2021 incident showed that attackers breached a customer support portal and exfiltrated source code portions of its government‑certified firewall, underscoring the strategic value of its intellectual property.

Structurally, Stormshield operates as a subsidiary of Airbus Defence and Space, which acquired the company after the merger of its predecessors Arkoon and Netasq. The firm’s headquarters are located in France, reflecting its European base and close ties to French cybersecurity initiatives. While specific employee numbers or revenue figures are not disclosed in the supplied material, the organizational placement within a major aerospace and defence group indicates a substantial industrial footprint and access to broader research and development resources.
