What Passus does

Passus S.A. is a Warsaw-headquartered, publicly traded Polish IT systems integrator specializing in cybersecurity, network and application performance management, and specialized IT infrastructure for the Polish critical-infrastructure market. The company operates as a value-added reseller and certified implementation partner for more than 20 global technology vendors, including Splunk (Elite Partner since Cisco's 2024 acquisition), Cisco (Premier Partner since 2009), Tenable (Gold Partner since 2018), ManageEngine (Gold Partner), IBM (Gold Partner since 2013), Riverbed, Broadcom/Symantec, CrowdStrike, OPSWAT, and TXOne. Passus holds Level III industrial security certificates valid through May 9, 2031, granting access to SECRET, NATO SECRET, and EU SECRET classified information, a credential that gates most state-security IT projects in Poland.

Its core delivery spans three service lines: IT security (SIEM/SOAR deployments, vulnerability management, endpoint and OT security), network and application performance (NPM/APM via Riverbed, Splunk Observability, and the proprietary Sycope platform), and IT infrastructure (packet brokers, WAN optimization, specialized routers). On top of partner technologies, Passus has developed two proprietary products through EU-funded R&D, StressTester for automated application performance testing and a real-time Polish-language internet content classification system (50+ categories, 90%+ accuracy under 250ms).

Passus sells through direct enterprise sales to large Polish organizations: ministries, uniformed services, the largest private banks (8 of top 10), telecommunications operators (5 of 5 largest), and fuel/energy/transmission entities (9 of top 10), totaling over 400 customer entities. Revenue is generated via annual subscriptions on partner products, hardware sales of specialized devices, and multi-year professional services for consulting, customization, and post-sale support. Its wholly owned subsidiary Chaos Gears S.A. achieved AWS Premier Tier Services Partner status in 2025, extending the group into cloud services and is the principal vehicle for any future geographic or vertical expansion beyond on-premises security integration in Poland.
