Sysctl

Sysctl is a Swedish company that develops cybersecurity products for IT and OT environments. The company originated from a cybersecurity consulting practice and built its product line to address internal needs before commercializing them. Its two main product families are Deaddrop and Impex. Deaddrop is a web-based secure file transfer appliance designed for sharing sensitive information and large datasets securely, originally created to solve the problem of sending confidential data to clients lacking secure transfer capabilities. Impex is a USB kiosk solution built for controlled and secure handling of removable media and external devices. Sysctl also works with partner solutions such as DataLock to extend endpoint and device-level protection. The company maintains partnerships with StoredSafe (secure information storage and sharing platform), Sensorfu (network isolation and leak detection), ESET (endpoint protection software), and Bedriftsystemer AS (hardware-encrypted storage devices). Beyond product development, Sysctl conducts research into IT and OT security, focusing on hardening infrastructure layers, protecting data throughout its lifecycle, and designing systems resilient to common and advanced threats. This research informs the ongoing development and refinement of its product portfolio. Products are developed in Sweden, with customers located across Europe. The company operates with a small team covering security research, development, design, and customer success functions.
