Cybersecurity has a control problem. Most providers force you into a corner, where you must either accept their ‘black box’ ecosystems… or go without elite protection. It’s a choice between being safe and staying in control. And it’s a choice we shouldn’t have to make.

That’s why, at Sekoia, we believe you should never have to choose.

You can’t build a resilient defense on borrowed ground. Real cyber resilience depends on independence, where you have total ownership of your threat intel, detection rules, and data.

Sekoia is an open alternative to the typical closed ecosystem. We focus on giving you the tools to run your own show. It all happens via these fundamental pillars:

1. Data control
2. Technological independence
3. Local resilience

Let’s break each of these areas down, before exploring some real-world examples to see them in action.

It’s time for you to take back the keys.

1. Data control: Your data, your choice

You don’t need to sacrifice compliance just to stay safe. We’re European “by design,” with our R&D and headquarters rooted in France. Building our tech right here in Paris and Rennes means we actually own and understand every line of our code, while still bringing in the best security talent from around the world.

• The power of choice: Strategic autonomy means respecting your specific local laws. We empower you to choose where your data resides based on your compliance needs. We offer SecNumCloud-qualified hosting (via OVH) for critical needs in France, alongside local hosting regions across Europe and major global hubs—already including the Middle East and North America. We’re continuously evaluating and deploying new cloud regions to help organizations meet their local data residency requirements.
• Gold standard compliance: We natively adhere to GDPR for privacy by design and hold the industry’s most demanding credentials, including ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and the SOC 2 Type 1 report.

2. Technological Independence: Your Stack, Your Rules

Your cyber defense belongs to you, not your vendor. The legacy model of cybersecurity relies on vendor lock-in. We actively dismantle this approach, with a platform that strips away the mystery and gives you back the steering wheel.

• Fiercely vendor-agnostic: We champion Technology Sovereignty. As a strictly vendor-agnostic platform, Sekoia is built entirely on open standards, such as STIX/TAXII and Sigma.
• Seamless interoperability: We integrate with your existing ecosystem to ensure you have full visibility of your security stack (+300 integrations available in our catalog). You have the freedom to orchestrate your existing tools exactly how you want, without being forced into a single ecosystem.

3. Building Local Resilience: The Ecosystem Approach

Having a global reach shouldn’t mean bypassing local expertise. While the traditional industry model often favors centralized, closed environments, Sekoia takes an ecosystem-driven approach.

We partner directly with our MSSP business partners and national cyber agencies. By empowering local experts, we strengthen the national cyber ecosystem of our clients and build lasting resilience on the ground, rather than imposing an opaque, restrictive solution.

Trusted By Global Authorities: The Proof In The Protocol

For us, strategic autonomy goes far beyond a philosophy. It’s actually something that gets stress-tested daily by the most demanding organizations in the world.

Because we maintain a neutral and transparent posture, our platform is actively used by the French Armed Forces. We are an official partner to Europol, and as members of the Advisory Group on Internet Security, we share critical threat information against cybercrime, actively supporting major operations such as the Endgame takedown. We also cooperated with the FBI on the global disinfection campaign against the PlugX worm in 2025.

Furthermore, NATO serves as a public reference for our Cyber Threat Intelligence, and we regularly participate in NATO CCDOE’s cyber exercises (Crossed Swords). Finally, our ethical commitment is cemented by our role as a signatory of the Pall Mall Process, a joint initiative co-led by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and the UK Foreign Office fighting against the proliferation of commercial spyware.

Conclusion

We believe a safer world is an open one. From our roots in Europe to our work on the front lines with the FBI and NATO, we’re working to empower defenders, rather than lock them in. Because your architecture and data belongs to you. And it’s time to run your SOC on your own terms.
