Chimere by Thales

Chimere, a French cybersecurity start-up, was launched in late 2019 by Guillaume-Alexandre Chaizy-Gostovitch and Gabriel Ladet. After a two-year incubation period within the Thales group, Chimere emerged as a spin-off from Thales Digital Factory.

The company offers a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution that leverages darknet technology to make business applications invisible to unauthorized users. This approach is inspired by the Tor network and utilizes micro-segmentation and point-to-point connections to create a private and secure network for each client. By rendering applications invisible on the internet and within corporate networks, Chimere effectively protects them from cyber threats.

The service is designed for enterprises seeking to enhance their cybersecurity posture and secure remote access for their employees. Chimere's business model is based on providing this next-generation remote access service, which is built upon concepts and technologies from the hacking world to proactively defend against cyberattacks.
