About Hornetsecurity

 

Hornetsecurity: From grassroots to cybersecurity guardians

 

Hornetsecurity was founded in 2007 with a single mission: to protect companies from cybersecurity threats and empower them so that they can focus on driving positive change in the world.

Almost 20 years later, Hornetsecurity has become a leading provider of next-generation cloud-based security, compliance, backup, and security awareness solutions for organisations of all sizes. Its core comprehensive security solutions have helped thousands of businesses stay safe from hacks across diverse industries, from financial to hospitality and automotive to education. ​​

 

Hornetsecurity’s successes and impact on cybersecurity

 

Driven by innovation and cybersecurity excellence, Hornetsecurity is shaping a safer digital future and creating a sustainable security culture with its award-winning portfolio.

Operating in over 120 countries through an extensive network of 12,000+ channel partners and MSPs, its services are trusted by over 75,000 organisations worldwide.

Hornetsecurity has strengthened its position through strategic acquisitions, including the AVIRA Spamfilter division, FireEye Email Security, IT-Seal, Altaro Software, ZEROSPAM, and most recently, Vade. These acquisitions have added to Hornetsecurity’s firm foundation of innovative solutions and reinforced its commitment to safeguard companies against cyber threats.

Notably, its 2024 acquisition of Vade—renowned for its industry-leading, SaaS-based email security solutions and differentiated API-based filtering technology, has allowed Hornetsecurity to further diversify its data protection services, which is becoming increasingly essential in today’s AI-driven landscape.

 

The key challenges and Hornetsecurity’s solutions

 

The rise of generative AI technology in the global digital landscape has intensified fears of phishing attacks, malware and ransomware, with the data recovery rate for businesses affected by ransomware attacks plummeting from 87.4% in 2021 to just 66.3% in 2024 (source: Hornetsecurity’s ransomware attacks survey). Many organisations find the task of properly protecting their data time-intensive and challenging to manage alone.

This is where Hornetsecurity’s flagship product, 365 Total Protection, comes in. It is the most comprehensive cloud security solution available for Microsoft 365 users, uniquely addressing all aspects of data protection, IT compliance, AI-powered cybersecurity awareness, easy-to-use and easily deployable GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance)/DLP (Data Loss Prevention) service, amongst other key benefits.
