Positive Technologies

What Positive Technologies does

Positive Technologies (legal entity AO Pozitiv Teknoldzhiz, MOEX ticker POSI) is a Russian-founded (2002) and Moscow-headquartered cybersecurity company that built an integrated portfolio of 25+ proprietary products under its "Result-Driven Cybersecurity" (RKB) methodology. The portfolio spans MaxPatrol SIEM (with an in-house LogSpace DB and a BAD ML module of ~30 models), MaxPatrol VM, MaxPatrol EDR/EPP, MaxPatrol 360 for SOC orchestration, MaxPatrol O2 (AI-first autonomous response) and MaxPatrol Carbon (stochastic attack-path prediction), the PT NGFW (1-400 Gbps throughput, FSTEK-certified), PT NAD, PT Sandbox, PT ISIM (ICS security with 130+ protocol support), PT EASM (built on CyberOK's SКIPA), PT X (outcome-guaranteed cloud-managed protection), PT Data Security, Kiberpogoda attack-forecasting, and the PT Naira AI assistant that operates without external LLM calls. The technology stack is anchored by the Positive Research center's threat intelligence — 1,000+ incident investigations per year, 100+ zero-day disclosures per year, 16,000+ industrial threat rules — which feeds automated expertise packages into the product ecosystem.

The company serves over 4,000 organizations globally, including 80% of Russia's Expert-400 rated enterprises, with named customers concentrated in Russian state-owned and strategic sectors: VTB, Rostec, Rosneft, Lukoil, Transneft, Rostelecom, MegaFon, Russian Railways, Rosseti, Rosenergoatom, Magnit, and government entities. Its customer segments span government and CII, large enterprises, industrial/OT operators, telecoms/MSSPs, and SMB. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, inside sales with free pilots/test drives, channel partners and MSSPs across Russia/CIS, and dedicated regional operations in Vietnam, Latin America (Brazil/Mexico/Argentina), and CIS. Revenue is generated through software subscriptions and perpetual licenses, hardware appliances (PT NGFW PAK and PT ISIM), professional services (PT ESC incident response, implementation), managed services (PT X), and education/training (Positive Education).

H1 2025 deliveries were reported at 7.4 billion RUB (+49% YoY); the company has been publicly listed on the Moscow Exchange since 2021 and reported over 210,000 shareholders as of mid-2026. International expansion is concentrated in markets where Western vendors are constrained — CIS (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan), Iran, Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Myanmar), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela), and Mongolia — under a "digital sovereignty" positioning that the company explicitly pursues in partnership with allied governments.
