Perseus

Perseus is a German cybersecurity company that provides IT security solutions targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs/KMU). The company structures its offerings around three core pillars: prevention, risk assessment, and emergency response. The prevention component focuses on employee security awareness training, addressing the human factor as a primary source of cyber incidents. Training is delivered through video-based content covering cybersecurity and data protection topics, aimed at reducing the likelihood of human error leading to breaches. The risk assessment service involves identifying technical and procedural vulnerabilities within a company's IT infrastructure. Perseus experts evaluate security gaps and provide guidance on where remediation efforts are needed, targeting threats such as ransomware exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities. The emergency response (Notfallhilfe) service provides 24/7 incident response support, including attack remediation, data recovery, and IT system restoration. The company deploys IT security experts and forensic specialists to assist businesses during active cyber incidents. Perseus partners with several insurance companies and financial institutions, including Ergo, HDI, Markel, Signal Iduna, Beazley, Baloise, and others, suggesting an integration with cyber insurance ecosystems. The company is Germany-based and positions its services as GDPR-compliant. Its model delivers all services from a single provider, covering the full lifecycle of a cyber incident from preparation through response.
