Clavister has served critical national infrastructure and protected mission-critical applications for a quarter of a century, standing by its unique ‘Security by Sweden’ values from the very start. From telecoms and defence to public sector, Clavister has built an unrivalled offering, been validated by the world’s leading testing labs, and has partnered with global household names.
17th October 2022 - Örnsköldsvik, Sweden - Clavister, a leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, has today reached the milestone of 25 years of operation. Since 1997, the firm has believed that robust network security is ‘everybody’s business’ and withstood a tumultuous and dynamic period of growth and expansion in the cybersecurity market while transforming its business to fit market needs.
Since its inception, Clavister has pioneered new and innovative solutions across industries during a period where it has arguably never been more needed.
All businesses today, irrespective of their size, are subjected to complex and diverse cyber risks than ever before – in a crowded and competitive market where new and fast-moving geopolitical dynamics are constantly emerging, organisations need to protect their networks with solutions from providers they can trust.
John Vestberg, Clavister’s CEO, who co-founded the company in 1997 and was imperative in the process leading up the release of the company’s first commercial security product, said: With customers in over 150 countries, we look forward to empowering and enabling users to secure their operations in an increasingly complex digital environment for businesses. The industry has changed so much in the last 25 years, and we’re excited to continue to watch it evolve further.”
