Outpost24

European VM with broad app + infra + network coverage.

By Outpost24 AB (EQT-backed) · Founded 2001 · Karlskrona, Sweden · pe backed

Outpost24 is the Swedish full-stack vulnerability management vendor, founded 2001 and acquired by EQT in 2020. The product covers infrastructure VM, web application scanning, network scanning, and cloud security in a single platform. Strengths: broad coverage across infrastructure, web application, network, and cloud VM in a single contract; EU data residency and GDPR-native compliance; strong fit for European mid-market organizations with distributed estates that want a single VM vendor; and a more transparent commercial posture than the US-headquartered platform vendors. Best fit for European mid-market organizations (500-10,000 employees) where EU data residency matters and full-stack VM consolidation is preferred over best-of-breed. Trade-offs: brand recognition is meaningfully lower in North America, scanner plugin coverage trails Tenable Nessus, innovation pace is slower than Wiz on cloud-native VM, and EQT ownership creates the standard PE-pressure question on long-term direction.
