HarfangLab is a French scale-up specializing in cybersecurity that develops EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform ), and ASM (Attack Surface Management) solutions to detect and neutralize modern cyberattacks targeting an organization’s workstations and servers. Our engines, models, and algorithms identify abnormal behaviors and either generate security alerts or block program execution.
Since our creation in 2018, HarfangLab’s technology has received strong industry recognition, earning prestigious distinctions and becoming the first EDR to be certified by ANSSI in 2020, and later the first to obtain ANSSI qualification in 2025. We are also proud to have joined the French Tech 2030 program alongside 80 other innovative French companies, at a time when cyber resilience has become a major strategic priority for Europe.
We have raised a total of €30 million, enabling us to strengthen our teams, growing from 40 employees in 2023 to 130 today, and expand internationally across Europe.
Today, HarfangLab protects the endpoints of more than 800 clients of all sizes and across all sectors: CAC 40 industrial companies, government entities, SMEs, hospitals, and local authorities. With a strong collective spirit and international ambitions, HarfangLab continues its expansion while remaining true to its original mission: protecting organizations against increasingly complex cyber threats while enabling clients to retain full control over their data.
