Northwave

As a leading provider of cyber security solutions, Northwave shares HackShield’s vision of a safer digital world. We recognise that cyber security is not only about protecting systems and data but also about safeguarding people, especially those most vulnerable to online risks. With cyber threats constantly evolving, proactive cyber security education is more important than ever. Our partnership with HackShield is a strategic alliance aimed at addressing these pressing issues by introducing youth to IT security in a child-friendly, gamified way.

Founded in 2006, Northwave has grown to become one of the largest self-financed cyber security companies in Europe, fully owned by its management. Northwave is a long-standing market leader in the Benelux, recognised by the Financial Times as one of the thousand fastest-growing companies in our sector in Europe for five consecutive years. Since 2019, we have achieved significant results in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and in 2024, we expanded into the Nordics with an office in Stockholm.

Our holistic approach addresses business, technological, and human risks in cyber security. We offer a wide range of best-in-class solutions, including our Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), Cyber Intelligence Department, advanced Security Operations Center (SOC), ethical hacking and certification programs, dynamic cyber-secure behaviour programs, and comprehensive security and privacy management services.

Protecting organisations is our daily mission, a dedication deeply rooted in the drive of every Northwaver. From ethical hackers to lawyers, cyber analysts to psychologists, programmers to business experts, CEO to receptionists, we all share a common goal: ensuring a safe digital journey for our free and modern world.
