F-Secure

F-Secure is a Finnish cybersecurity company that has been at the forefront of digital security since 1988, making it one of the oldest and most experienced security firms in Europe. Founded in Helsinki by Petri Allas and Risto Siilasmaa, F-Secure built its reputation on antivirus technology and has evolved into a comprehensive cybersecurity provider. In 2022, the company split its enterprise business into WithSecure, while the F-Secure brand continues to serve consumers and small businesses with security and privacy products.

The F-Secure and WithSecure product families together cover endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response (EDR), vulnerability management, incident response, cloud workload protection, identity protection, VPN services, and password management. WithSecure's enterprise platform provides advanced threat hunting, managed detection and response, and security consulting services. The consumer-facing F-Secure products offer award-winning antivirus, browsing protection, and a comprehensive identity protection suite.

Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, F-Secure and WithSecure operate their security infrastructure from Finnish and European data centers. Both companies hold ISO 27001 certification and maintain strict GDPR compliance. With nearly four decades of European security expertise, proprietary threat intelligence, and a commitment to digital privacy, F-Secure represents one of the strongest EU-based alternatives to US cybersecurity vendors like CrowdStrike for organizations seeking endpoint protection with European data sovereignty.
