The challenges we face

Increasing global risk of cyberattacks and damage caused by cybercrime as well as other forms of criminal activities (e.g., extortion, fraud, etc.). Annual number of ransomware attacks worldwide (in USDm) grew from ~190 to ~600 between ’19-‘21. Global monetary damage caused by cybercrime (in USDbn) grew from ~3.5 to ~7.0 between ’19-‘21.

What is the outcome?

Who are the stakeholders?

How big is the effect, and does it last?

LogPoint helps its >700 customers in Europe better protect their data. Impact grows with size of customer base but particularly in critical infrastructure, financial institutions, gov. agencies, educational institutions and other areas that safeguard/enable important social outcomes.

If Logpoint didn’t exist...

LogPoint is the only European player offering the highest level of SIEM certification and without access to customer data. This is an important point of differentiation outside US security services standards collection scope, and it meets top EU requirements. Offering high product standards to small- to medium-sized enterprises that are otherwise exposed and increasingly vulnerable; this is in turn important to general cyber security as covering numerous SMEs bolsters network effects for security.

Impact risk: what can go wrong?

Risks of LogPoint not delivering the desired impact include less usage of the platform, stagnating growth in new customers and technological complications. LogPoint manages sensitive data. As such, data privacy and security are of paramount importance and must be safeguarded.
