About HarfangLab

HarfangLab is a cybersecurity company that has developed a suite of solutions to prevent, detect, and block cyberattacks.

How
it all began

HarfangLab was founded in 2018 by Grégoire Germain, Xavier Boreau, Mathieu Gaspard, and Maxime Rameau, who brought their extensive experience from organizations including the French Navy, the French Ministry of Armed Forces, the French Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI), and leading private-sector firms.

They worked together to create an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) tool, designed to detect and neutralize attacks targeting workstations and servers. Today, HarfangLab protects the workstations and servers of several hundred clients of all shapes and sizes: from CAC 40 corporations and government agencies to SMEs, hospitals, and local councils. 

The technology quickly attracted praise and was rewarded in prestigious competitions such as I-Nov (2019) and the Grand Défi Cyber (2020 and 2022).

It also boasts the honor of becoming the first ANSSI-certified EDR in 2020. 

Why
the snowy owl?

The snowy owl, known as a ‘Harfang’ in French, symbolizes protection. It is capable of tracking and surveying its prey even when hidden.

That’s what inspired our company’s name: HarfangLab.

A focus on
performance

Since the very beginning, the founders of HarfangLab have been guided by three core principles:

  • Performance
    Staying ahead of attackers and protecting business productivity with lightweight, robust technology that minimizes the impact on systems.

  • Trust
    Installed across all terminals, workstations, and servers in an organization, the solution monitors every potential entry point for attackers, ensuring robust security for the organization.
    But what about critical data? To address this challenge, we have made it our priority to develop a tool that adapts seamlessly to the architecture and technical constraints of our users.
    HarfangLab is the only EDR solution offering deployment in a private cloud (On-Premises), in SecNumCloud, or in a cloud chosen by the client, all while maintaining the same functionality and performance as its SaaS solution.

  • Ease of use
    Simplicity is essential for EDR users: analysts and cyber experts, whether at our customers’ organizations or those of our MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) partners.
    In daily operations as well as during a cyber crisis, the solution must be straightforward to use. This requires an intuitive interface and transparent detection rules. The latter is particularly important for understanding the specifics of a security alert. Such clarity fosters a deeper understanding of the cyber context, strengthens security over time, and enhances resilience in the face of an attack.

A continuous
evolution

We surpassed the 100-employee milestone in 2024, with over 60% of our workforce dedicated to research, development, and continuous product enhancement. We take pride in supporting the hundreds of customers who place their trust in us.

Our commitment to performance and excellence remains our top priority. This dedication has been recognized through our outstanding results in the MITRE tests, where we ranked among the best EDRs on the market during our very first participation in 2023.

Market
recognition

Building on our expertise in endpoint security, we continue to expand our solutions to address the evolving needs of our users in the cyber landscape. Since 2024, our solution has incorporated EPP capabilities and monitoring tools to simplify IT infrastructure audits.

Our business model emphasizes an indirect approach through MSSP partners. To support this strategy, HarfangLab has launched a partner program built on close collaboration and knowledge sharing, ensuring the highest quality of service and protection.

Finally, our two rounds of funding — €5 million in 2021 and €25 million in 2023 — have accelerated our investments and helped cement our position as a key cybersecurity player, not only in France but also across all of Europe.
