Endian is a European cybersecurity company founded in 2003 in South Tyrol, Italy, specializing in security solutions for both IT and OT (Operational Technology) environments. The company develops the Endian Secure Digital Platform, which consists of three main components: management tools for centralized connectivity and security management, security gateways that provide network protection and edge computing capabilities, and endpoint connectivity solutions for secure access. The platform is designed to protect business infrastructure, networks, devices, applications, and users from internal and external threats. Endian's solutions incorporate Zero-Trust architecture principles and are built on flexible open-source foundations. The security gateways function as firewalls and UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliances, featuring capabilities such as network segmentation, VPN support (OpenVPN and IPsec), IPS/IDS functionality using Snort, and routing capabilities. Endian serves multiple market segments including Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in industrial automation, small and medium-sized businesses, manufacturing companies implementing smart factory concepts, and operators of critical infrastructure such as energy, water, and waste facilities. The company's solutions address challenges in remote maintenance of industrial plants, predictive maintenance scenarios, and securing networked production environments. The company emphasizes digital sovereignty, enabling organizations to maintain control over their data and processes while reducing dependency on major technology providers. Endian's approach focuses on making advanced cybersecurity accessible through user-friendly interfaces while maintaining robust protection capabilities for industrial and business environments.
