Cygate Oy

What Cygate Oy does

Cygate Oy (legal name: Telia Cygate Oy) is the B2B ICT services arm of Telia Finland Oyj and a member of the wider Telia Company group. Founded in 1989 and headquartered at Pasilan asema-aukio 1, Helsinki, the company delivers unified security, networking, cloud, and data center services to Finnish enterprises, public administration, financial institutions, and industrial-sector customers, supported by 11 offices nationwide and a 24/7 ITOC operations capability staffed in Finnish and English.

The core technology offering is a high-automation on-demand service management portal that consolidates security, network, cloud, and data center operations under a single management model with integrated interfaces and real-time visibility into service status and key metrics. The portfolio is built on integrations with eleven tier-1 technology partners — Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, AWS, Check Point, Juniper Networks, Microsoft, VMware, Fortinet, WithSecure, Aruba, and Splunk — and is delivered by 520+ certified experts (more than 1,000 IT industry certifications in aggregate) against five ISO certifications (ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001). The company also operates infrastructure described as one of Europe's most modern data centers.

Cygate's commercial model is recurring managed-services revenue delivered via direct enterprise field sales through Telia Finland's B2B organization, with self-service customer management via the on-demand portal. Core ICT service pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; published rates are limited to ancillary billing operation fees (e.g., invoice copy €14.99, invoice rewrite €39.99, paper invoice €15.00, standard report €50.00). Matti Eloholma serves as CEO and Ksenia Sergeychik as CFO; the company has historically used M&A to broaden capability (acquired Bemecon Solutions Oy in October 2016) and is wholly owned by Telia Finland Oyj, a major Finnish telecommunications operator.
