Continued Success in Building a Safer Digital World
Whalebone continues to invest in its proactive threat mitigation technologies and localized threat intelligence partnerships. The company’s innovative approach in these areas for critical infrastructure has solidified its position as a trusted partner for communication service providers (CSPs), including ISPs and especially telecom operators, as well as governments, municipalities, regional cybersecurity agencies, and enterprises responsible for the security, compliance, and uptime of critical services.

Whalebone’s commitment to innovation and collaboration with regional cybersecurity partners such as Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs), academic research institutions, and hundreds of CSPs contributes toward an unparalleled level of localized threat intelligence. This collaboration has greatly enhanced global protection for millions and firmly established Whalebone’s leadership in both the European and global cybersecurity arenas.
“Making the Deloitte list for the third time highlights the dedication of our team, the trust of our partners, and the growing demand for innovative DNS security solutions,” Hlousek added. “We are helping organizations close critical security gaps and achieve regulatory compliance, ensuring safer digital environments worldwide.”
