Egerie

Egerie operates as a specialized software editor in the cybersecurity sector, focusing on integrated risk management for medium to large enterprises. Founded in 2016 by Jean Larroumets and Pierre Oger, the company is headquartered in Toulon, France, and provides a platform to quantify and govern cyber risks. The founders, described as experts in IT and cyber risk, developed the core technology over a decade, culminating in a sophisticated modeling engine they refer to as 'the equation'. This model is designed to translate technical vulnerabilities into quantifiable financial and operational impacts.

The company's business revolves around its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, which is also available for on-premises deployment. It serves a client base that includes Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Risk Managers, and Data Protection Officers (DPOs) within sectors like finance, critical infrastructure, healthcare, and government. Egerie generates revenue through subscriptions to its platform, which helps organizations move from a basic compliance-focused approach to a dynamic, risk-based cybersecurity strategy. Key clients include major international corporations such as Veolia, Orange, and Accenture.

Egerie's core product is a centralized platform that creates a 'digital twin' of an organization's entire information asset landscape, mapping the complex relationships between business processes, data assets, threats, and security controls. A key feature is its ability to perform both qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, offering flexibility to its users. The platform enables advanced simulations to project the return on investment for specific security measures and can automatically recalculate risk levels in response to changes in the threat environment. In January 2023, Egerie secured a significant milestone with a €30 million funding round from investors including Tikehau Capital, Open CNP, Banque des Territoires, and TIIN Capital to accelerate its European expansion and enhance its technology, particularly for automated data recovery and reporting for the insurance sector.
