Clavister Secures SEK 5 Million License Order for CyberArmour Software from Leading European Defence Contractor
Clavister, a prominent Swedish cybersecurity firm known for its expertise in mission-critical applications, has landed a significant order from a major European defence contractor. The deal, valued at approximately SEK 5 million, involves software licenses for Clavister’s advanced CyberArmour suite, a key component in the company’s AI-powered firewall product line specifically designed for the defence sector.
Clavister CyberArmour is an AI-enhanced firewall solution tailored to meet the stringent security demands of modern defence systems. It is highly versatile, available either as a turnkey product or as pure software, depending on the specific hardware requirements of the customer. This adaptability makes it an attractive option for large-scale defence applications, such as its use in BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 family of Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs). These vehicles, widely recognized for their cutting-edge design and battlefield effectiveness, rely on robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data and communications systems, making Clavister CyberArmour a crucial component.
The recent order will see Clavister’s software integrated into a defence system produced in Southern Europe, with delivery scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2024. While the exact nature of the system remains confidential, the customer is described as the largest manufacturer of its kind in Europe, operating across multiple nations. This partnership underscores the growing trust in Clavister’s cybersecurity solutions within the European defence sector.
Clavister’s CEO, John Vestberg, expressed pride in the continued adoption of CyberArmour across various defence platforms. "We are proud to see more defence systems benefiting from using Clavister CyberArmour," said Vestberg. "We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with the customer and envision this to be a long-term partnership where more of the customer’s systems can be equipped with our technology."
Founded over two decades ago and headquartered in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, Clavister has built a strong reputation in the cybersecurity industry. The company was among the pioneers in developing one of the first firewalls and has since expanded its portfolio to include a range of adaptive and robust cybersecurity solutions. Clavister’s products are deployed in over 100 countries, serving critical sectors such as public services, energy, telecommunications, and defence.
As cybersecurity threats become increasingly sophisticated, the demand for advanced protection in defence systems is more critical than ever. Clavister’s innovative solutions, like CyberArmour, are at the forefront of this effort, providing essential security for some of the most advanced and sensitive defence technologies in the world.
