The frosting on the cake is that Logpoint solutions address a major societal challenge, namely the ever-growing cyber threat in the wake of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine.”

Logpoint is the only native European SIEM+SOAR vendor in Europe. Summa Equity acquired a majority stake in Logpoint in April to invest in cybersecurity resilience and build a European alternative in a SIEM market dominated by US vendors. Together, Logpoint and Summa will address a significant global challenge as cybersecurity incidents are estimated to cost the global economy EUR 7.4tn annually in 2023, per Cybersecurity Ventures.
