What CYBER1 does
CYBER1 (Cyber Security 1 AB, publ) is a multi-product and multi-jurisdictional cybersecurity advisory and solutions provider headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market under ticker CYB1. The company operates through three business segments: TRINEXIA (Value-Added Distribution), CYBER1 Solutions (Value-Added Reseller), and C1SOC (Next-Gen Security Operations Centre offering SOCaaS). CYBER1 serves enterprise and mid-market customers across Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India, supported by 12 operational locations, 209 employees (as of December 2023), and strategic relationships with 21 technology vendors.
The company generates revenue through a hybrid model combining transactional value-added distribution and reseller fees (TRINEXIA, CYBER1 Solutions) with subscription-based managed security services (C1SOC). C1SOC provides 24/7 monitoring, incident management, network visibility, and threat hunting capabilities, with multi-year contracts — typically five years — providing recurring revenue visibility. The SOC holds ISO 27001 certification, and CYBER1 Solutions South Africa holds B-BBEE Level 1 status, enabling preferential access to South African government and large-enterprise tenders. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with channel partner distribution, leveraging local value-added resellers across EMEA.
CYBER1 reported revenue of €52.90M in FY2023 (13% YoY growth) with EBITDA turning positive at approximately €624k, reversing a prior-year loss. The company underwent compulsory composition and 75% debt write-down in 2021, and has since 2022 been funded primarily through related-party debt (SVE Group BV, Marlo Finance BV, Ivo van Laar Beheer BV) rather than equity capital raises. In 2025, CYBER1 closed Trinexia DMCC and refreshed its board to reposition the group toward higher-value managed services. A May 2025 bankruptcy application relating to a disputed legacy claim was overturned by the Svea Court of Appeal in October 2025.

CYBER1 competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Secureworks: Global MDR/SOC provider with broad enterprise customer base. Represents the larger-incumbent benchmark against which C1SOC's growth and margin profile should be evaluated.
- NTT Security (NTT Data): Global systems integrator and managed security provider with extensive EMEA and Africa operations (via Dimension Data heritage). Overlaps with CYBER1's full-stack distribution, integration and SOC offering at much greater scale.
Direct peers
- Arctic Wolf: Leading SOCaaS provider delivering 24/7 monitoring, threat detection and response. Comparable to C1SOC's managed security offering though operating at much larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
- Exclusive Networks: Pure-play value-added distributor of cybersecurity solutions with deep EMEA presence. Highly comparable to CYBER1's TRINEXIA segment in business model, vendor relationships and channel reach, though operating at significantly greater scale.
- Orange Cyberdefense: European-based managed security services and integration business (acquired SecureLink, co-founded by CYBER1 board member Peter Mesker). Competes directly with C1SOC on SOC services and with CYBER1 Solutions on security integration across EMEA.
- ALSO Group: European IT and cybersecurity value-added distributor with growing services portfolio. Comparable to TRINEXIA's distribution model and increasingly to CYBER1's managed services expansion across EMEA.
- Westcon-Comstor: Global value-added distributor specializing in cybersecurity, networking and UCC. Mirrors TRINEXIA's VAD focus and competes for the same vendor relationships and channel partners.
- eSentire: Pure-play MDR/SOCaaS provider focused on mid-market and enterprise customers. Closely comparable to C1SOC's positioning around outsourced security operations for organizations lacking internal SOC capabilities.
Regional players
- Integrity 360: African-headquartered cybersecurity specialist offering managed security services, consulting and incident response. Directly comparable to CYBER1's Africa SOC and professional services operations.
- BCX (Business Connexion): South African-headquartered ICT solutions and security services provider. Comparable to CYBER1's South African operations in serving enterprise and government customers with bundled connectivity, cloud and security offerings.
