HWG Cyber Security

HWG was founded as a managed security service provider, and it currently specializes in cybersecurity. The company manages each phase of the incident lifecycle by employing a combination of machine intelligence such as security information and event management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR), endpoint detection and response (EDR), cyber defense capabilities such as endpoint security and network security, and human expertise through a security operations center (SOC) comprising 50 experts. HWG’s security analysts proactively identify vulnerabilities, monitor and inspect 1.5 billion security events 24/7/365, and prevent threats by adopting the appropriate countermeasures.

The company’s endpoint security capability uses machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), behavior-based indicators of compromise (IoCs), and threat intelligence to detect known and unknown malicious activities. The company’s network security comprises next-generation firewall, secure web gateway (SWG), and secure SD-WAN to protect the network against threats.

HWG serves customers in more than 30 countries spanning multiple sectors including finance, government, fashion, automotive, utilities, telecommunications, and manufacturing. The company has SOCs in Italy, Singapore, Lithuania, and Dubai.

In March 2022, the company was acquired by alternative asset management firm Investcorp Technology Partners (ITP), which bought a majority stake in HWG. ITP intended to support HWG in its future organic and inorganic growth into new markets and verticals.
