What Emitec does

Emitec AG (operating as Emitec Datacom) is a privately held Swiss IT services company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Rotkreuz, Canton of Zug. The firm positions itself as a leading Swiss provider that uniquely combines IT Performance and IT Security services under a single roof, serving national and international corporations, federal agencies and leading SMEs. Its portfolio spans IT Security (prevention and defense: risk assessment, cyber-hygiene, 24x7 penetration testing, endpoint and network security, DDoS/Edge Defense) and IT Performance (observability, verification, performance and quality testing), supported by dedicated community assets such as the annual IT Leaders Summit (running 18 years) and the BITS & BITES networking events.

The underlying technology stack is built on best-of-breed partner products rather than proprietary software. Emitec deploys passive TAPs and intelligent Packet Brokers for loss-free network data capture, integrates Keysight Technologies products (CyPerf, IxChariot, IxNetwork, IxLoad) for performance testing, and layers machine-learning-driven Network Detection and Response (NDR), AIOps-based Holistic Observability and hardware-based DDoS/Edge Defense on top. AI and machine learning are applied to behavioural anomaly detection in encrypted traffic and predictive analytics, though much of the underlying AI capability is supplied by partners (SenseOn, Horizon3.ai, PRE Security, Selector AI).

The business model combines professional services (consulting, integration, managed testing and 24/7 operational support) with hardware resale and integration under vendor partnership agreements, primarily with Keysight as the Flagship partner alongside NETSCOUT, Allegro Packets, Dragos and others. Pricing is consultation-based with no publicly disclosed tiers; standard terms are CHF-denominated, exclusive of 8.1% VAT, net 30, and engagements are typically multi-year. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting Swiss corporates, banks, insurance firms, federal agencies and critical-infrastructure operators, augmented by event-driven and community-led marketing around the IT Leaders Summit and BITS & BITES.
